Canada's "Other" Swap (Muhahaha)

Post by **Canada** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:51 pm

Ok...

As some of you may know, I have a bit of OCD when it comes to those stupid Brookfield Collectors Neons. To the point where I have been buying sets that include broken ones as parts cars

The last set I bought, also came with one of those stupid Maisto 1/24 scale SRT4's that was in rough condition.

Some of you may know where this is going, so here is a two photo hint

nice. are you a member on the scaleauto forums btw? I used to be heavy into modeling but kinda lost interest.

Dork

This is coming from the guy who milled (yes you read that right, set it up in a bridgeport mill and milled the excess off) the bottom of a Modifiers brand Escalade to drop that bitch on 22's and be flat on the table. And the same guy that was cutting springs on a Modifiers Civic SI to make it drag.

My brother has some badass models. Check out autoart.com. He has a couple rare skylines form there.

I still don't understand what you are going to do? Swap bodies?

I'm gonna guess he'll put the SRT motor in the 1gn to go with his ACTUAL swap.

haha. i love it.

my photobucket is actually mostly model cars lol. I started it when I joined scaleauto forums back in 04. It's mostly rice and mini trucks though.

One of my many unfinished projects :sigh:

I have a brookfield 4 door neon, and a cirrus. I wanted a stratus but when theyre on ebay theyre always too much money

What do you search for to find the Neon ones? Do they only have 1gns and SRT's?

I have a couple SRT's for sale if you want one.

I'd consider it, but I'd rather a regular 2nd gen, since I don't own an SRT. PM me a price tho?

^ no one has produced a regular 2gn. I thought about modifying one of the Maisto ones but I prefer to work with styrene, not diecast. If you search ebay look under Toys/Hobbies for "Brookfield Dodge Neon" or something like that.

Here's a lot of them that came up. I know they sold these race ones in sets of 3

i wouldn't mind getting my hands on a 2dr 1gn to play with. i've been wanting to do one to match my 1gn ACR. I'd of course love to get a non-srt 2gn to make up like my 02 R/T as well but i can't find either.

That's badass! Ha ha love it

I wanna see the undercarriage and motor etc of the 1gn now...

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:03 pm

It has the hood molded in, the chassis plate is all one piece, so there really is no 'engine' in that sense

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:08 pm

The 1gn hood doesn't move? The 2gn does...

Post by **Canada** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:19 pm

The 1gn doesn't have a operable hood...yet.

Ask and you shall receive, I have a mini Neon junkyard forming in my room now...
