So it was back to the drawing board. I was far too eager with the previous version and completely forgot about what a Viper should consist of.
So next year if I feel the need to build again, I will refresh myself with the rules instead of just jumping straight in.

The Ciudad Vieja of Montevideo. Uruguay, isn't a time capsule from the year 1925. Architects have continued to leave their mark on the city, as shown here by creation.
I don't have a date for it, but it whispers "1965" to me, when modern was going mod.

Earl 'The Mad Man' Muntz was the a typical entrepreneur. He began in radio in the early forties and started in 1949 selling the first televisions for mass market as a Dumont Television franchiser. As a result he made millions of dollars. In the early fifties he meet up with various prominent car dealers in the area and worked out promotions where each would share showroom space and promote each others merchandise. Earl wanted to have his televisions in as many auto showrooms as possible and offered auto dealers huge giveaways of his televisions. One such dealer was Frank Kurtis who was tinkering around with a failing self promoting sports car called a Kurtis. A general motors dealer in Inglewood California. The two discussed the possibilities of offering a new, sporty southern California type of automobile to the public. This discussion was rumored to have initiated out of learning of the Nash-Healey union in 1953.

The original 28 Muntz Jet prototypes were built in Gardena, California in 1951 or '52. All had lift-off tops and Cadillacs 331 cid V8. These prototype were assembled with a mixture of current parts from other contemporary cars and custom parts. Most body panels were aluminum formed over a steel cage subframe on a 'X' frame chassis. The car was well received in showrooms across southern California and signups with deposits were large enough to satisfy a start of production. A numerically lower final drive ratio gave the Muntz jet a higher top speed than the Kurtis, and Muntz claimed a 0-60 mph time of as low as nine seconds. The jet was much heavier and far less agile, however.
Production was shifted to Earl's hometown of Evanston, Illinois, where the power train was changed to the Lincoln L-head V8. In the production stage, final numbers built was 366. With the prototypes from California total production was 394. Muntz lost about a $1000. on every Jet he sold, the main reason he gave up on the venture after four years.
Earl went on to develop the 4 track and 8 track tape car stereos and continued to promote the large big screen TV's when first developed in the early eighties. I believe he died at the age of 89 in 1991 or 92.
Unusual trailer - the trailer only pivots vertically at the car bumper. The single wheel pivots like a castor as the car turns instead of having the trailer turn relative to the car. This allows the whole rig to be shorter and so it fits in a single parking space.
