Actually that part is just painted by the Viper tech that reassembled the motor...he said it just didn't look right. His name is Glynn Pribbennow at Burt Dodge, and we are lucky to have such an awesome mechanic and a great guy.

Thanks, coming from you (who has great taste, and some fantastic products) that is a real compliment.

You're missing a couple of things.....
- JMB Radiator cover
- JMB Fuse box cover
- JMB Line lock bracket
- Kevan's battery tray storage box
:)

Great looking truck.
Are those vinyl stripes?
:D :D :D

Funny you say all that...just not sure what else I want to do. Looks so good right now.

The stripes are painted and the whole truck was clear coated again.
 
I saw CarDude's truck in person last weekend. The pictures don't do it justice. The engine was so clean you could eat off it, and the powder coating on the parts were flawless. Lawrence, if you add anything else it will start distracting from what you have already done.

Thanks Lynn...the drive was a blast. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

The Trucks in the picture are Broke (Lynn) and SCVette (Taylor). Too bad there are so few SRT trucks here in Colorado.

BTW I am really pushing the local chapter of the Viper Club of America to let the guys with SRT-10 Rams (you know Viper Powered Trucks) join the local club. It think it only makes since since I see more Viper than I ever see SRT-10 Rams.

Not to be Johnny RainCloud, but....It won't happen.

You're able to apply for an "Associate Membership", but unless you own a Viper CAR, there's no full membership.

This kinda sucked, but now it's a GOOD thing. When DCX was ruling the world, they had the cash to throw around and put on special events (like the VCA events). It would usually be something like, "DCX will pay for the track rental, but you guys [VCA] have to cover your hotels and meals." Well, hell yes! That's just a simple example, but you get the idea.

Now that DCX is in new hands, the first thing the new company did was cut funding for all special programs....like the VCA. They still recognize the VCA, but they're not renting Laguna-Seca for the weekend anymore. Kind of a bummer for the VCA guys; but good news for us.

If we had been part of the VCA, our membership dues would have dramatically increased (doubled?) when the company split up. Ouch.
If they all weren't driving such badass cars, I'd feel bad for them. :)

Here's another factor:
- Let the truck guys in and your membership numbers DOUBLE.
Wait? Isn't that a GOOD thing?
Not really. Now each event must be able to handle 400 vehicles when last time it was only 200. That means costs to put on the events double. It also doubles the track time (though there are some fast trucks out there...heh heh).
It makes things twice as expensive, and thus fees increase exponentially.
It would have been a rough ride all the way around.

The VCA is now much like us: on their own. They've got a great infrastructure setup, so things should progress smoothly. We may throw a few more wrenches than they do, but I think we [VTCOA] are doing a pretty damn good job ourselves.

At Mopar Nats, Jack spoke with the local director of the VCA about "working together" on future events. Two heads are better than one, and hopefully we can CUT costs with some things instead of doubling them.

I see a nice future relationship burgeoning between the car owners and the truck guys (and gals). It doesn't happen overnight, so don't hold your breath. We will need everyone's help with it, so attend the events when you can.
You won't regret it.
 
The VCA has local chapters which are somewhat controlled by their membership yet they are still under the VCA. The VCA is admined by a company hired by Chrysler LLC. via SRT. All major VCA get together, "Viper" days, web site, "Viper" Magazine, as well as the "Dodge" and "Jeep" magazine go through them. The VCA is trying to get total control, however, this so called admin. owns their web site.

We'll see.

Oh ya...
The Admin company is
