Used one before and they are nice for money bags ballers such as yourself. However, by the time you fire it up, hook it up to a compressor and get it going, I could have the top off that sucker with a sawzall in about 1 minute. My roof came off in under 2 minutes and I was being careful so I could weld it back on! :lol:Quote:

I also contacted a Dallas Charity that accepts junkers for donations to see if they wouldn't sell a few...always good to get a deduction for our efforts! :wink:
I picked up a JD2 bender for my build and I think I trust some of you guys enough to loan it out... without a full deposit. :shock:Quote:

Or more likely, two of the three cars need the same ONE whatever... might as well settle on paper/rock/scissors for tie breakers now.
yeah, so do we need to start our own private forum for proper discussions? :shock: :lol:Quote:

Funded driver needs a ride. Can't donate much time to fabrication but can offer parts and safety equipment for dealer cost. I also have a '79 coupe Mustang with a V6 to donate to the effort.

found a pair of 96 neons...one runs, the other doesn't...$800. :DQuote:

Hopefully this nucklehead will call me!

The new CMC-17 is going to do alright in 08!

The San Antonio team is assembled. I will pick up the car this weekend and begin the demolition-I mean build. Assuming the police report comes back clean. This is going to be fun! 8) FMR
Remember, LeMons is not picking teams from the applications until Aug 9
Northern lemons... Burch, Landrum, Boudy, Warren, White...who else...?Quote:

I also know of atleast 2 teams being formed off of DFWstangs.net as we speak with some real characters!
Just got reply from the guy with the Neons...sounds like a go!
1996 neon 2 door, 5spd with 123k miles...lots of spares with second car! Who's in?!
i'm in on a Neon. i just dont have any cash to put into this. i will do any and all fab work needed.
in fact, i'll review the SPEC Neon rules and see that we stay w/in those limits. this way the car will be a nice roller for a SPEC Neon car.
I am another driver that would throw in some money and some support...but from my location and bank fund... not a ton of either is available.
Well, with the spare car, we could recoup a ton of cash selling parts, and then passing off the tub for scrap. We also have spares for brakes, and a ton of other stuff... just don't know if the 2 door fits into the spec neon stuff...? I'll float most of it now but like I said Glenn, all in per driver should be about $500...Quote:

I wouldn't worry too much about the Spec Neon side of things or an after-life of the car. Don't they end up crushing half the cars and keeping the rest? I was under the impression that the car doesn't go home with you after the event either way.
(..or was that just in my old demolition derby days in High School?)

Spec Neon has been killed nationally as of a few months ago...Quote:

Let's try to get 3 same model cars for Team AI/CMC. Neon Neons? On-track and in paddock team efforts could go a long way!!!
Marvel should weigh in here at some point.... Hint, hint, hint. He's a store house of information on the Lemons deal and most of all has a good sense of what won't work and what not to do again.
I think he told me that one of the guys just created a PayPal account and the players just put up some seed money for the build.
I'm in.

I don't want to force anyone into a neon just because I think it's a good car to compete with...I COULD be wrong! LOL!Quote:

Now if one of my teammates would like to start working on a cold air intake made of beer cans...we have an 8 month head start! Coors light right Jeff?!
Pictures below...
I'm all over this Matt, count me in. I don't have space at my house for the car but can definitely help wrench on it whenever needed. :DQuote:

I can fill up the gas tank in the pits 8)
Matt...you're starting to scare us with how serious you're getting about this effort.Quote:

What about an RX-7? I have been told the motors go forever. Is this true and would it be a good choice? One negitive is I can build a conv. motor with eyes closed but a Wankel? Never been in one.
JJ
Wow! Does that give us 6 drivers now?! :P
Now we need to think of a Team name! Nuerotic Northern Neon Neanderthols? Our car number could be 4N...
Ok, I have to put the pipe down...I am having WAY too much fun with this!!!
you guys need to go to youtube and watch all the videos!
Just search 24 hours of lemons and you will have an hour of entertainment!
Ok, lemons North...update.
Of the two neons, the 4 door is the 5spd car with blown motor already out of the car. the 2 door auto runs with same SOHC engine, ready to put into the 4 door..so there will be some work there...however, the 4 door is in better mechanical shape as the 2 door had already been wrecked and fixed terribly. The good news is we won't be in a purple car! :lol: I also like the idea of a smaller door opening on the 4 door given the contact issues.
It's got 6 nearly new tires, and all the parts swap car to car which is good for spares.
So, a little more work involved but I think we are ok...engine swap is already half done! God this spares list is going to be long!
Going to look at them sunday and probably bring them home.
Some one needs to do the Falcon! Too cool.
I would be kinda neat as we are the AI / CMC crowd to all do lead sled kinda things. Neons?!? Ok, cheap and easy, I get that, but come on, people are going to see you driving this thing ;)
I'm in for the Austin crowd. I _might_ be able to put a car at the house (oh man, the wife if going to kill me!).
I like Morgans idea, we need some subforums. That might be good anyway for things like dyno days anyway....
MadMax
Oops! The police report seems to indicate that, oh I don't know, the car had been reported stolen. Back to the drawing board. :evil: FMR
Hey Jerry - PM me your email addy if you don't mind.
Jeff
I will have a spare neon I can cut you hell of a deal on...Quote:

If you watch all the videos, they actually took that car back on course!Quote:

Yeah, I guess the right thing to do is submit an entry then see if we get in. Wouldnt want to spend almost $500 for no reason! 8)
You will not know until aug 9.Quote:

What are the rules on entry submission? Perhaps a little thought should go into optimizing the chance of an awarded spot?Quote:
