| Body alignment Hi All Well after a hell of a lot of p*ssing aroung I finally got to the stage yesterday when the body could be refitted to the chassis, however the rear-end of the body is giving me trouble. Basically the divers side rear wing seems to be a good fit over the wheel but on the passengers side the wing overhangs the wheel. I know several of you have had body problems with your vipers so I was wondering if any of you have had this particular problem - and if so whats the best way to fix it? Regards CeeJay.

| Set fire to it, claim on the insurance a buy a DAX  Can you post some pics so we can see what the prob is? Do you mean that one side is lower than the other, or more to the left/right than the other side? Nice to see you have a rekindled viper lurvvve again  Cheers for now. Kevin |

| I mean its more to the left than to the right. The drivers side rear wheel arch is in line with the wheel if u look from above but the passengers side overhangs the wheel by 15 odd mm Sigh - I should have bought the 7 instead... CeeJay.

| The body (as well as the chassis) is not perfect. All you can do is equal the offset accross both sides. So instead of having one wheel flush with the arch and the other being inset 14mm, make it so that both wheels are 7mm inset from each arch. You want to get you car sitting at the correct ride hieght when you do the alignments as that will make a difference to the centre of the wheel arches etc. Hope this helps... |

| Thanks for the comments guys - I'll try and sort out the ride height over the next few day then I think I'll have to do a bit of chopping to get everything to fit correctly - the good news is that the engine and supercharger are in! CeeJay.

| I have cheated slightly by cutting the inner tub out and mounting that first. So can adjust the body to suit before I muck it up properly...
