Awesome!

Ever thought of building a full Viper mockup?

But the storage space could be a problem...

as you can probably tell from the photos I am working in very cramped conditions in my dads garage.

Besides the cost of building a complete viper, the wife would go crazy. I would probably have to live in it.

looking again through the gallery of g80 2 seater vipers there seems to be differences in the pin striping.

Very confusing

Are the rivets - really rivets?

no the rivets are actually paper fasteners. So far I have fitted about 150 and I need about 200 more.
drilling so many holes in the canopy weakened it so I had to add strengthening pieces on the inside.

They look good, and one other alternative are those plastic googly eyes. Looking great. :cylongold:

Looks like you have been working on a engine intake also. Great to see a person in there. Gives a real perspective to size.
