I've actually given serious thought to a 1:1 model of the "new" old-style 
Viper, but I've been fortunate to avoid that particular back-monkey. :)

The Hammerhead cockpits on the show were pretty cool.  Any idea if there 
are production drawings of them on the net somewhere?

I suppose you could rent them out for science experiments. :)

If I actually sit down and do this, I may end up offering both plans and a 
cutting service for the complex parts.  It won't be a wallet breaker 
though.
