dtjackten offical progress post....
Sup guys? Im new to dodge forum and to owning a neon. I just got my 03 sxt in november of 08, but Im not new to mopars. my first car was a 66 dodge coronet 500 and I still got it, its almost done with the restoration, just need paint and a little interior work. Hopefully I will have pics of it up soon. Anyway, I wanted to know what direction u guys think I should go with this neon, its bone stock. Ive been reading this thread and it seems like you guys really know your stuff about these cars, by the way great work so far dtjackten, with a little time and money that car is going to be sick! So if you guys can maybe let me know some ideas and good places to find parts at a decent price I would apprieciate it.
