    Dr. Viper that is, Venomous 1 to the guys here. I will post pictures later but has a 6,000 sq ft shop, three bays, three trucks deep and a huge office section. I saw an older Chevy pickup he was building a muscle car engine for and then saw 6 SRT-10's in the shop. Engines, paint, body work---you name it Scott was very busy. Never too busy to help me out but none the less backlogged with work. I met him when he was working out of his house and well, pretty messy set up trying to utilize a garage and work in the drive way on 2-3 trucks at a time. This new shop is immaculate----so clean you could eat off the flour well organized and very professional. He has a super mechanic helper to boot.

    Not only was I impressed with the set up but really thrilled for him. The quality of his work is 2nd to none and always willing to give good advice to any that ask. I was so impressed I now am thinking about a build job if I can part with my baby for a couple of weeks.

    Pics to follow.

    I consider your origin----PA and realize most of you guys up there in liberal land focus on excrement from the back side of humans as well as animals so will disregard your comment. :chain:

    If V1 is doing enough work to support a stand alone shop, he must be doing something correct. If the quality of work is suspect over time with unhappy customers, it will not last too long.

    I say good for him to take the plunge and do it for himself. :rock:

    A website with services, parts and images could help alot.

    Cheers!

    Tiny minds use childish language cause they can't express themselves as adults.

    Do ya talk to the wife and kids they way you talk to us---same language I mean? I bet they are delighted.

    Oh wise one. Based on your horrible mechanical ability and the trouble you seem to have with simple things related to anything automotive i dont blame you. You just dont know any better and thats fine most of the time. As long as its nothing major he can talk his way around guys just like you because YOU don't know any better. The guys that can think and do things themselves learned quickly how much of a joke this VR1 guy was and still is.

    The majority of the guys buying these trucks today dont have a clue. So when Scotty boy talks like he knows they listen. About 75% deeply regret this. Now the beauty of it on facebook is guys cant voice their opinion when they get fucked by Scotty boy. Cant even call his bullshit out. He just deletes it and blocks the person.


    Sorry for the gramer and spelling. Im on the road was talking to text..

    Is this De Niro's brother? Only the really high IQ folks use childish language. Oh well, the low information voters have no real vocabulary.

    While the price seems high to me as well, if you figure a dealer charges viper tech fees on these at well over 100 an hr, this doesn't seem so high. I'm def not a fan clubber for vr1 but did you really price that whole list out just for an internet argument?

    and a no where near accurate price out at that... I love it how people think that business do work at cost and dont have over head to pay so they do all the labour free with no mark up.. Yep thats how all businesses work .. everyone in business is just there to help you and not make a living or profit..

    Wow just wow.. a generation of idiots
