This Beauty is a Beast!!!!!

I finally have enough posts to attach a couple of pics of my Viper. Ive had it for less than 2 years and can't wait to get back and start working, driving, and admiring it again. I had some over heating problems with it but may be fixed with a new thermostat or it could be due to the Texas heat. Don't know too much history about it but it is really clean and has been taken care of. I just installed an autoform hardtop before I left the states that I didnt have a chance to get any good pics of it with it on before I left. I posted a few things I want to do to it when I get back in about 10 months on a previous post, so I will like to get some feedback and suggestions from fellow Gen 1 Viper owners. Thanks.

I would take a look at the head gaskets (stains on block) if you've had overheating issues on a Gen 1..Nice looking car.

Thanks for the comment. I think I would start with checking the thermostat first, I havent checked to see if there are any stains on the block and wont be able to anytime soon. I havent noticed any water or white sludge on the diptick when Ive checked the oil so that may be a good indication of a leaking or blown head gasket.

Regardless...car looks MEAN!! I always thought my Viper would be black until I owned my first black car...Always bothered me when a 3 hour wash and wax job looked beautiful until I drove the car around the block...shit picked up more dust than a Swiffer...Never again...Black only looks good when spotless, which lasts about 5 mins...

Hey thanks, just need to know where I can get these IFORGED wheels from and if they will work on the Gen 1. I am looking for 5 inch lip for the rear and 3 inch up front.

If anyone has any information please let me know.
