SS Viper
 

Is there any interest to read and see a few pics about our development of a SS/D Viper GTS?
The project took 8 years and we made the first test runs two weeks ago...

The Viper was bought december 2004 from a Microsoft Excecutive :-) I shipped it directly to Lamb to take measurements so we could get a 5-lug bolt pattern for the front hubs.

After several test and a lot of research they found out what could work and the Chassi was transported down to Phil Mandella...the work could begin. This was about January/February 2005. Phil and the guys dismantled the Viper and shipped all small parts to Sweden.

After the Chassi was cleaned out the fabrication could start.
The Viper have a quite rigid chassi original and with the complete cage/tubbing it is rock solid.

The fabrication work with the chassi took about 6 months. When ready the Viper was shipped to California Shipping to a container headed for Sweden!

The Viper arrived to Sweden after 3 months and early 2006 we could start our part of the build. (there is a steady stream of Cars and Parts shipped to Sweden so to get cars over hear cheap is easy :-)

First time on Swedish ground, it was a fantastic feeling! I was very optimistic and the plan was to debute the car summer 2006...as we now know it took another 7 years...

I Took the Viper directly down to the garage and started to strip it. A good thing with the Viper is that most parts of the body is glued or bolted, if you have correct tools or know what your doing it's very straight forward to strip it down to frame only.
