Where has everyone gone?

On a bright side there is an increase in Neon builds or people buying SRT4's around here. I want to set up an NY/PA/Southern Ontario meet in Western, New York in late spring or summer.

I must be the only one still doing stuff to my car over winter... just not posting it since I'll reveal it all at once. Facelift #2.

It will pick up a bit in spring. I fear the Neon boom is over since most of the young people that got Neons when they were relatively in production are now maturing and the Neon is being put on the backburner. Not many more young people will still be buying them, just the oldies.

Me too.

Although, I honestly don't remember what it said. But I'm off to the "deleted" posts section to refresh my memory.

Okay, I feel better now. I'll stop pouting like a little girl and get over myself.

This winter has been brutal up here.....I have a room FULL of parts that need to get installed but I make most of my "play" money doing sidework such as remote starts strobes in plow trucks etc...this is my busy season so I vant turn down any jobs that come my way so that takes away from working on my baby.

I have done a few projects inside that may be complete soon and I will post them up as they come near completion..

Im a "lifer" I plan on keeping my baby for a while so I hope to be on here for years to come....

Ugh, I miss the ACR. Good to see you're still around though.

And I guess about winter. Guess I've gotten spoiled with a garage with the fireplace built into it. (fire in the house is nice, hot heat radiating brick in the garage is nicer). This winter, I finally took my donor Magnum engine apart to start the P&P work... and about 10,000 other little fixes and additions to the car.

Along with slow progress on the '57. And whenever I get my '47 back, Ill finish the wiring and fuel system on that too.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:10 pm

I'm really interested in any progress on your 47.

Same here, just been slacking on the car. Gonna pull everything out of my 98, and put it in the NYG. heydockyle is getting the 98's shell. Gonna do some more small things to my SRT and keep it like it is.

Winter f's me up, I'm using my parent's driveway to do everything.

gtxtreme19 · Post by **gtxtreme19** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:14 pm

Well I decided winter is over, got the 78 running and started toying with the neon. I ain't leaving.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:17 pm

Oh yeah, me and my wife had a baby too. That takes up some time.

Well, I just posted a little update in the off-topic media forum. Maybe it should be moved to just off-topic, or project logs? lol.

It can be moved to PL if you like. Just pm me, or another Mod.

14 minutes of which was spent getting dressed/undressed im sure

Liz · Post by **Liz** » Sun Feb 20, 2011 5:21 pm

I as well have ALOT to do to the car. ie.. fix front bumper, get dents pulled, fix flat tire...

ugh.. found that yesterday!!, get new battery, do some paint work :shiftyeyes: put some things on that i've bought for the car and just overall make the car look 100% better IMO. I HATE the cold and will sit in my room under a blanket for most of winter. This is why I do not do much here. I LOVE the carlisle thread because it literally is one of the best trips to go on and meet everyone. We have the best time. Just give it some time. Even people that have sold their neons still post on here...

Alas, I live too far away to concern myself with Carlisle too much. Odds are, Ill never make it to that side of the country.

Havent done much with my car in the last few days besides clean it up and get everything working properly. Just been gathering and cleaning parts for the summers activities when the disposable income starts rolling in again.

Im finally finishing the car this year... I hope. My biggest problem is having 4 other project vehicles. And especially with the Ford... diesel mods are expensive. I just dropped $6k on engine work on it..... but its so much more fun to drive now. lol
