Had done a bunch of little things as in vinyl logos. It's nice now that I have my vinyl cutter and shop I built at home. But yeah, just catching everyone up to what I have been up to. Oh I had started my new job this past week and it's been great. That info for those who might were were wondering if I am doing ok. Things are looking better in life for me now. Just as long as I can keep my truck staying together! Lmao!
chithead 12-03-2010, 07:59 AM Wow! Some VERY nice upgrades indeed!!! That is a gorgeous truck you have!
georgiaslim 12-03-2010, 10:53 AM You been busy. NIce mods!!!!!!!!!
Viperdave 12-03-2010, 10:59 AM Thank you! Trying to keep it nice and updated! Lol
FRESH4849 12-03-2010, 01:02 PM Looking nice Dave!!! It is amazing how some simple mods like the grille and headlights can change the the appearance so much. Loving that grille it looks great in that truck!!
Viper Truck 12-03-2010, 01:08 PM Hey, I got a question. Since you have changed the Throttle Body what kind of difference has it made? I am thinking about changing mine. Not sure if I want a Roe or a BBK.
1LowRam 12-03-2010, 01:53 PM Very nice! One of these days I will have some SRT10 wheels and big brakes like that.
Viperdave 12-03-2010, 02:22 PM Thanks guys! I surely the appreciate the props and compliments. Makes me feel good about the look I an going for at the moment.
Viperdave 12-03-2010, 02:29 PM Hey, I got a question. Since you have changed the Throttle Body what kind of difference has it made? I am thinking about changing mine. Not sure if I want a Roe or a BBK.
First of all it made a very noticeable difference in response and power IMO.
Second I would check with Tony at www.jtsvp.com. He has a venom throttle body option he does. Which I heard is better. And what that is basically is he ports and polished the oem. I will be tying that out soon to see the difference. But that would be your third option on the throttle body buy.
I can't see paying for the bbk vs the roe or even the venom tb. Causr the other two options are less in cost and have proven to ve better in the response and hp gains.
NOTPAID4 12-03-2010, 05:21 PM LOL, when I first saw the title to this thread I was thinking to myself..."What kind of mods can you do to a Viper Truck that it doesn't already have." LOL, love the new mods!!!!!
Mopar 12-04-2010, 12:55 AM Nice, real nice Dave,like what you have done to so far.
GLHSHELBY 12-04-2010, 01:07 AM looks great.The TB definitely looks better too

Viperdave 12-04-2010, 02:51 AM Did manage to pop some dents out and clean it up a little. Touch paint was my best friend today and will be tomorrow! Lol

1LowRam 12-04-2010, 01:58 PM Well...its a sign. Sell the truck to me as is...for $15k. :D
chithead 12-04-2010, 02:39 PM Oh my word... my heart just sank to my feet...
Viperdave 12-04-2010, 03:10 PM Yeah mine did too! 1lowram, you so funny! Lol
It almost made me feel embarrassed to drive such a known truck with the damage on it. Lol but as long it's not on my drivers side I can handle it better. Murphys law yah know! Lol so far this truck is been a challenge to own. It's a give and take truck. Lol
Viper Truck 12-04-2010, 07:22 PM Dave, I just saw the pictures.
I have to agree when I saw that my heart sank and I thought WTF Happend!
It's a different breed of truck alright.
You have been working on that truck and making it look good. This is just a minor set back. Keep up the good work. In fact some of the work you have done has giving me ideas to what I may do to mine in the future.

Viperdave 12-04-2010, 08:29 PM Thanks man for the confidence boost! I know it's a little set back. And anything I an ever help you with let me know!
Well this is far as I am going to get with pulling dents and touch paint! It's livable till I have time to sand it all down and do it right. Just have to build some capital and patience. But I think it looks decent. What do you guys think?

Jettech104 12-04-2010, 09:15 PM First off the mods are a nice touch!!:smileup: Second you did a great job pulling the dents. It will get you bye to you are able to do a permanent repair.
Viperdave 12-04-2010, 09:23 PM Thanks on the compliments about the touching up and dent pulling.
Yeah it will be ok till then. Just had to mask the deep scratches. Was driving me crazy! Lol
Here is the tools and stuff I used to do all this.

GLHSHELBY 12-04-2010, 09:27 PM I had about the same thing happen to my charger when my son fell asleep at the wheel.I was able to get most of it out myself. Harbor freight had some decent stuff.
