Yeah, the possibility of overspray is one of the reasons I skipped the spray can. But I didn't think about the rod being horizontal when not in use- this kept me from dipping it. As it is, it doesn't look so hot but I think that it will do what I wanted it to do- prevent the rod from scratching my n...

I'll bet that you got a low number.

I 've now had my first experience with Plasti-Dip. I decided to coat the end of the hood prop so that it wouldn't scratch the new underhood paint job. I ruined a paintbrush trying to apply it before discovering that my right index finger worked much better. Now, several coats later, it is finally sh...

The leak was discovered when the car was on a lift at Ziebart- certainly not a planned expense. I'm going to drop $899 at Ziebart on the 24th (plus paying for a rental car and motel room since the car has to be there overnight). Yeah, I was surprised that my body shop guy had installed the "Xmas tre...

Another year, another birthday!

Another year, another birthday!

$291.97 today (parts and labor) for a new oil pressure switch. I had discovered a leak on the lower charge pipe last week and my Dodge tech said that the switch was the culprit. Also removed the aftermarket "Xmas tree" fasteners that my body shop had attached through the "nostrils" and reused the OE...

And a de-badged Dodge (or possibly a Plymouth) at that!

There are several 2gn Neons around here, but, since this is a factory town, it isn't surprising. Most are in pretty bad shape (rusting rockers). I also see an occasional 1gn but those are rare. I have to be careful since most owners don't understand why I walk around their Neons for a good look and ...

Another year, another birthday!

I've seen many a YouTube video of people doing that. Thank goodness that pumps have a breakaway feature.

I still have the OEM taillight gaskets on mine but have a new set for when the time comes to replace the originals. I agree that a few more cents per vehicle for better quality materials would help those of us who are keeping the cars long-term but, thanks to the "bean counters" at DCX, we're having...

My body man found no sound deadening foam in the rear DS quarter panel dogleg. He did find that two layers of metal between welds had come apart, leaving a gap that had started rusting. He cleaned out the gap as best as he could and shot a rustproofing agent in the cavity before clamping it shut and...

Everyone have a safe trip and a good time. I have to work so I won't be there this year.

Another year, another birthday!

The last post is from three years ago.

The OP is from 4 years ago and the link doesn't work but, if you say that it is an excellent car, okay.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Truth is, now that I'm retired and only working part-time, I really can't afford stuff like this anymore. But, after investing so much time and money into it, I can't afford to NOT take care of it.

The SRT went into the body shop this past Saturday. The paint protection film on the hood from Ziebart has been removed prior to painting and clearcoating both top and bottom. The PPF had yellowed over the years and I didn't replace it on the new front bumper last year. This leaves it just on the fr...

Another year, another birthday.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

I quit that awful job last June 13th and don't miss it at all. LOL

Welcome back! I'm still here and have the same SRT-4.

What you did Saturday sounds pretty good to me!

Happy birthday!

Simply the best! Thank God we still have her recordings.

Another year, another birthday!

I'm really sorry to be reading things like this. I was in constant pain at Carlisle last year but Jerry, yours sounds much worse than mine was (I saw a chiropractor and had two epidurals to get where I am now pain-wise). As for the hearing troubles, I had Koss stereophones back when I was in high sc...

Another year, another birthday!

Welcome to 2gn! sorry to read that your first SRT-4 bit the dust but glad that you are okay. Where did you find your second? I'm still on my first, bought new in 2006.
