2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10

Step 1-3 from the Instructions
1. I laid out the parts required and inspected the parts for defects or cleaning required;
2. There are no narrative on the instructions and at best some of the locations are vague.
3. The reflective material to the wing/side mirror and rearview mirror were attached using the tip of a scalpel and brandished down using a earbud.
4. Follow the numbers in order in each of the illustrations. "Einstein" here installed the door panels before the wing/door mirrors and had to remove the door panels again. First the wing/door mirrors, then the door panels. The door panels secure the mirrors in place. 

To protect the lovely paint work from damage, lay the body on a soft piece of material.
Installing the plug wiring was not a challenge. 

Step 4-6 from the Instructions
1. I laid out the parts required and inspected the parts for defects or cleaning required;
2. Double check before you insert the roll bars. Both must incline forward and the longer part of the "leg" must be on the outside;
3. Insert the seatbelts from the bottom (floor pan) up and secure using the appropriate stub as anchor. 

This is what the subassembly should look like when completed. 

Step 7-9 from the Instructions
I laid out the parts required and inspected the parts for defects or cleaning required. The subassembly from Step 4-6 will be installed. 

The plans are very vague. First install the coil springs, then the front tie rod (when working on the front) or the rear axel (when working on the rear), and only then secure the suspension by securing the appropriate cover with the screws provided. Be careful when you tighten the screws. 

The front suspension secured. 

The back suspension secured.

The complete suspension as seen from the top. Installing the steering wheel was a little bit fiddly. 

Step 10-11 from the Instructions
1. I laid out the parts required.
2. The subassemblies from Step 1-3 and Step 7-9 will be mated (the body to the chassis). 

1. Lay the body on its back. To protect the lovely paint work from damage, lay the body on a soft piece of material.
2. Work your way from the front towards the back securing the two subassemblies. Insert the supplied screw on the hole through bellhousing and then insert the screw at the two rear wheel arches. 

The chassis and body mated 

Step 12 from the Instructions
1. I laid out the parts required and inspected the parts for defects or cleaning required.
2. Two styles of rims are supplied. One set chrome and the other set is steel coloured.
3. The detail on the rubber tyres are superb. Note the tread pattern when you install the tyres on the rims. 

1. The brake disks for the front are easily distinguishable from the brake disks for the rear. The rear being deeper/wider than the front disks.
2. Note that there are pins on the front tie rod and rear axel in which the brake disks must be seated. Be careful not to exert too much force.
