[@thegeorgemac3]

I'm so glad I found you on here I had your car when it was all red as my back ground on my phone in high school

[@tron11751]

Love it glad to see you getting back into it. This video inspires me to get back in the building my 300zx let's just been sitting in my garage for the past 3 years

[@HALCYONphoto]

Thanks man! Definitely feels good to get started!! Even if it’s just small stuff for now!

[@austinpoeppelmeyer2174]

One very sexy Neon, if you can you should bring it up to Neons 2020.

[@nephilim3090]

What front end is that?! I’m in love!!

[@TunerZen]

Got to do vlogs now on this build man! Can't wait to see more of it myself!

Funny thing, A neon tube shivers on this Neon ....

[@kieransullivan8444]

Is this a Chrysler neon or dodge?

[@LYC_44]

So any updates?

[@HALCYONphoto]

Been in the body shop getting the metal wide body & custom bits since March, hoping to have it in the next few months

[@DJsProductions]

i think the last time i saw this thing was when Krispy first started modding legacy wagon and needed your garage

[@HALCYONphoto]

[@haun_ted]

HOLY SHIT , I REMEMBER THAT

[@DannyheatzMedia]

Can't wait to see the progress of this build!!

[@HALCYONphoto]

thank you danny

[@niagarafallsnewyork3659]

Dodge needs to make another neon, and possibly make it a little bigger so they can fit a hellcat motor in it lol.

[@niagarafallsnewyork3659]

@Green Bastard no such thing as a "nice" 4 cylinder " you get a 4 cylinder because you can't afford a bigger motor or the gas or the insurance. And yes it is a lightweight car so it would be awesome with the hellcat motor people have already swapped them into miatas and stuff

[@niagarafallsnewyork3659]

@Green Bastard thats true I can respect that. But Ricky Bobby once said "if your not first your last" haha have a nice day buddy.

[@jonathanflores789]

I've seen this car b4! Had no idea it was yours! Also good to see the guy behind the camera! Keep it bro

[@kingluikhalifa13thcam68]

I'm so glad u said if Dodge came out with a neon in 2020 what would it look like for real cuz people hated this car so much and still do I was one of those guys but then for some reason after loving all the super, and hyper cars all those good looking sexy cars after a while u start to fall in love with the cars u thought were ugly growing up!! and the Dodge neon srt or r/t's are fuckin sexy they have ass appeal not mass appeal🤘💯🙏☝️this car is sexy no matter what I don give a flying fuck what anybody say or have bad to say about Dodge neons point blank .

Beautiful car bro

[@Fr1edLump1a]

Brings back memories of when I owned my 05 SRT-4. I remember back in 07 till like 2010, you used to see SRT-4's everywhere. Now, not so much, let alone an SRT swapped 2G neon. Good luck with the whole process and I can't wait to see what you come out with....

[@HALCYONphoto]

yeah man! they're becoming hard to come across these days. seen a few with low miles still selling for over 20K!

[@ashtontuel9472]

I’ve seen this thing on Instagram it’s sick

[@diiviinemedia]

Look at the new 2020 dodge neon bro they have it here in mexico and its nice

[@ryanricketts6674]

What happened to this series!

[@jmccarsnmore1025]

A real car enthusiast!! Keep it up and hope to see your car finished soon!! Your Neon looks really clean and different. The color red on those wheels can stay. Now wonder about those 18 who disliked this video!! Wonder what they drive, or what they do for living!!

[@antonioestrada9989]

I had a 2003 turbo R/T ! Thats awesome!!

[@HALCYONphoto]

woah, hell yea!

[@MandusahRamirez]

This Car Is The Reason I Found This Dope Channel! I have one I bought an 05 SXT SE as a daily and I ended up falling in love with it lol. I have Newer & Faster Cars but, Deon gives me that Analog Feeling when times were Simpler! My Goal is to make it an Upgraded OEM R/T!.. So For Your Loss BTW Man! Keep Up The Good Work!💪🏽

[@Climb385]

Glad to see it saved but please don’t do “widebody” fender flares, the stock lines of the Srt4 look great esp with the PVO wing

[@HALCYONphoto]

Won’t be fender flares at all! Your comment makes me realize I failed to clarify, but it will 100% be a molded metal widebody

[@marlostewart1107]

Yeah... in '03 I had a '99 Neon sport coupe. I had done the exhaust from the header back (pacesetter header) (Flowmaster cat-back). Cold air intake by AEM. 17 inch rims with slotted rotors. And new head and taillights. Had her for 8 years and (3) 420A engines. Damn good memories were made in my Neon.

[@RobiticDuck]

Even tho my sister works at a Dodge dealership and tells me to stay far, far away from anything Chrysler Corp. And that I'm way better off with my Subaru, if I had my way I'd still have a Dodge Neon from the mid 2000s, and a RX-8 in my driveway.

[@wolfemancola]

i really like the '02 front end swap with the eye lids and lip. I had a 2001 Chrysler Neon R/T and the thing i remember most was the intake manifold "flaps" opening up around 5000rpm. An SRT-4 swap would fit right in there and are super easy and cheap to find spare engines for since the Turbo model PT Cruiser and PT Cruiser GT had the exact same engine. I've been thinking about swapping my 1998 Neon R/T coupe but i like the high revving 7800RPM intake sound of the 2.0L DOHC with the Mopar ECU and Iceman intake

[@the_cammed_beast6027]

Well I hit the subscribe button and bell icon cause I'm a huge fan of the srt neons so I'm here for the build

[@aaronbartow2663]

Would love to pick your brain. Building a 2004 sxt. Small mods. 5spd rt granny swap. In bumper cold air intake. Cat and resonator delete 2" stainless into the dual tip rt exhaust. Looking for a turbo kit for the sohc motor.

[@downonit22]

You sound like youre moving into your midlife crisis stage with the car lol. I'm in the same boat with my SC, I just want to enjoy it.

[@MatthewFradl]

I've had a picture of this car as a background on my phone back in the day and always say the pictures and was drooling over it so glad I seen this video, my first car was a 1998 neon sport 5 speed and had 4 others since then never has a srt 4 and this car made me realize and more confident that it don't have to be a srt4 to be awesome this car is the ultimate of individual tastes 👍

[@Mattsneedforspeed]

If you need some help sourcing some parts I might be able to help, lots of them are not available new

[@bobbyjohn681]

so i've seen pictures of this car for years, i always catch myself looking at it, considering a Chrysler bumper for my White 05 ACR

[@HumblyDriven]

I'm late but I'm here. There is some guy here in Maryland that has an orange it is crazy and has so much power. I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I asked about a 2 years ago on my vlog channel did you have a car and it was this one. I forgot about it. Wheel color is freaking amazing!!

[@takfry]

the think about this car is it doesny matter what money you put in it because you'll never sell it. it's a memory car. its a car you'll cherish forever. looks sick too

[@marquiswashington1112]

Ive know about this neon for awhile and im in the same boat but you've done what im gonna do congratulations i love your basic neon witch is boss in this video i wanna get in touch with you bro bro damn with the haters say... Love the front end

Thank you!

i Have so many questions. the way the car is now is how and where I wanna get my car to. not lookin to do the Srt swap just build what i have

That Chrysler front emblem. Fun fact they actually sold a Chrysler neon in Canada.

Let me tell you how quick I clicked this. 🤣 I remember seeing this thing at the hotel where everyone from 2GN was staying back in, what, 2010-2011? So excited to see this thing back out again.

I like your concept, it was also great gaining a little insight into the story of the car and you as a person. I might do a rough render with your plans, hit you up somehow when it's done.

awesome!! thanks!

Maroon and burgendy is like the best colours

[@brennenrulez]

nice seeing anyone keeping neons on the road!

[@HALCYONphoto]

save the neons!

[@NicMagz]

Love the plans for the build. If you can't find a good SRT4 around, you could always find a PT Cruiser GT. You'll still need some doner parts from an SRT, but those motors are typically less abused.

[@HALCYONphoto]

actually acquired myself a very nice SRT this past weekend :) new video with it soon!

[@christophersmith9924]

I've owned my 02 neon since 03 and put an srt4 motor and trans in it over the years. I'm planning to build mine 1 of these days as well... Good luck on the Build 👍🏽

[@HALCYONphoto]

very nice! thank you!

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

I own another disrespected car (Cobalt SS) so I am fuuuullllly into your plan for doing this thing up again. I love it when these 'disrespected' cars get some love from the owners and are turned into works of art. It's much more satisfying to do up a car people trash on and make it worth drooling over than just buying something everyone thinks is cool and doing not much with it.

[@HALCYONphoto]

yea man can definitely relate! here to break down some barriers!

[@nerd3xd]

Well...it's been 3 years,I think this project got shelved, I'll take the donor car though...

[@HALCYONphoto]

Car is in the body shop for full metal wide body + paint, everything on the motor is currently getting powder coated. just haven’t been in the mindset for uploading build videos about it.

[@FoulDeformity]

Hell yeah...that's awesome man!!! Ever thought about removing the chrysler emblem? I think it would give it a more "shaved" and clean look...cheers!

[@HALCYONphoto]

would definitely like to do that! will have to think about how to execute that, as behind the emblem is a plastic molding of the shape of it.

[@haydenxaviergovender5715]

My dad had one but he sold it and bought a Nissan navara

[@boost_kingz]

Great looking car! I just did a full swap to a 02 neon on my channel!

oh hell yeah, i'm gonna have to check the videos out!

[@fadedempirecarclub948]

what kind of manifold do you got on that 2.0??? I didnt think they made turbo manifolds for the 2.0

It’s a custom log manifold made by AS Performance outside of Chicago.

There's been a lot done, mostly just haven't been as in the mood to vlog/document it as I thought I'd be. It's currently at a body shop in Jersey and I've now moved to Florida. It should be there till late this year, then hoping to get the SRT motor back in and bring it down here!

Excited to see where it goes! It's a .55 a/r bullseye housing actually. Keeps the 2.0 much more lively when you're not trying to squeeze every little bit of power on the big end.

Hey Erick! Thanks for the correction. When the 2.0L is out I’ll be selling the kit you created so hopefully it’ll go to a nice home and make another Neon owner very happy!
