Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
$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...

Re: Still some surviving like its 2003!
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 ...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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.

Re: Midnight_Rider's progress log
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...

I'm really sorry to be reading things like this.

As for the hearing troubles, I had Koss stereophones back when I was in high sc...

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.
