So all of you Mopar guys!

Unfortunately in this area any Neon that the body is worth anything on is gold. Most of them rusted into dust or got wrecked.

Will one of you please go and find a POS 2000-2005 Neon and do a "drag-it-home and throw-it-together build like my Cavalier and Yac's Escort? This combo needs to be done and done on-the-cheap just to prove that you guys still know how to think and how to get your hands dirty!

Billy-funny as ever. Mopar has earned it's 'prestige'. That'll get em goin eh? Keep it rollin BN, some people just don't get it (or You) Happy New Year-BG

Trying to make anything decent out of one of those ghetto squad cars would certainly qualify as "slumming it".

Hey Billy. I still got the 1985 2.2 LeBaron Turbo sittin in the shop. 60,000 miles No rust, interior intact and extra engine. Did I say no rust, well I'm sure the tank ain't pretty inside. Ran 14.40's at Maple Grove in 1987. What class is that in pal ???? Just wunderin. Happy New Year guys John

First of all !! look at my previous posts as mentioned and you'll only see that Bubski speaks the truth !! If my mother was still around she wouldn't be too happy with all the enhancements like breaking out the 85b to mill the intake flanges off your heads and the lack of carbs and heads for the ffford small blocks allowing the most unreasonable aftermarket replacements !! probably wouldn't be too happy with the super gas style chassis either just to name a few !! As for these ghetto cruising puss cases theres no need for this nonsense !!! you can't polish a turd n thats the way it is !!If your really out to show what you got you at least need something to compare your skills too rather than how good your scrap yard connection is

Imagine if you took the money ,time and energy to build a car your not ashamed of driving to the store !! Getting your hands dirty in the toilet is not to be confused with hard work!!

As the owner of one of these "turds" as you put it that "Nobody" cares about, here's my 2 cents. These cars are in the guide. If you don't like a class that allows these cars watch and support something else. There's 4 & 6 cylinders in Comp Eliminator, those engines came from somewhere. NHRA is an organization that allows a wide variety of cars in a wide variety of classes. I've heard several remarks from people that like to watch the David & Goliath battles. If you don't like the "puss cases" get your car out and put my turd on the trailer. But "the scrap heap", No. People like GM, people like Mopar, some people even like FFFords. Look around on the street. See a lot of WRX's? Varieties the spice of life

Hi John! Happy, healthy New Year to you, the Mommy and the Puppies!

I'm looking more for someone to do a $.10 POS with OBD2. No turbos (too fussy). Something that the average "kid" (or old poop that still thinks like a "kid") could drag home and get under the index without expending too much money, time and effort.

I'm starting to think that Mopar guys (generally) just take themselves and what we do too seriously. Not one of them has stepped up to accept my challenge and shut me up.

Just FYI, the LeBaron is an A/B/C/FS car today.

Yeah, you're a real intellectual alright.

Did you know that "turd polishing" is an ancient Chinese art form? Look it up!

There's a whole lot more to this "game" we're playing than picking up your phone with your credit card in your hand and buying the latest stuff so that you can pay a "slug" like me to put it together. Puss case.

Ya know, I'm starting to wonder if you're a FFFord guy.
Naahh, you can string two sentences together, must be a Mopar guy...

I did my $600 car and it took over a year to run the 1/8 index, it was silver then. It sounds like it would be fun but I’m still working on my last project.
Happy New Year to all!
