That dash looks interesting, but a lot of work for a first project. You may want to check out that book. I think they sell for the same price in stores, so maybe you could talk him down. I hear its a great read to get you started off on the right foot.

If you are going to get the Rex inserts, dont get them from him. Rex is closing them out for $22 for two sets.

If you want the performance book, just check on the price locally.

Please, if you're going to mod your neon, be humble about it. Or start with engine stuff.

How skilled are you with all of that?

I think that speaks for itself on the head gasket... the one pictured doesn't even look like a proper one, looks more like a pan gasket of some sort.

In that case, best of luck. It takes time and patience, but pays off.

Just remember to not be too cocky or gaudy about your work, or everyone and their dad will wind up running their keys along your car. That includes kanji & hanzi

.

Have fun!

everything is a decent price on that listing except the head gasket set. I am pretty sure its much less on modernperformance
