Hey guys,

Hope you don't mind me posting this in here. I'm not trying to sell anything so figured a freebie would be ok.

I have a 77 viper that has seen better days. I was looking at taking it on as a project but upon further inspection it's just going to be above my abilities. It was originally a brown metalflake, but someone painted cheap red paint over it and it looks like the bottom was primed with water proof paint of some sort. There are fiberglass patches (and not good ones) along the bottom of the pad and up the middle which means this guy is due for a re-core. I'm in North Branch Minnesota and thought I'd see if any of you were interested in a big winter project. It's sitting on a trailer right now which is not included. If you'd like to come pick it up by this Saturday, shoot me a message and I'll get you the address. Otherwise, I'll just be taking it to the dump yard. It pains me to put another stream in the grave but this one has definitely got problems. I just finished moving it outside tonight and I'll upload pics tomorrow for those interested.

Lol no it didn't. Im glad she isnt going to the grave. I could probably core it but with
the bad glass repair it complicates it beyond my comfort level. And besides
i still have the 87 vixen to tool around in!

The Viper is safe and sound...and upside down in my back lot.

Great to meet you Ben, thanks for the hull. It will live to see another day.
