Hello everyone!

I have never paid much attention to forums until today. I am a long time Mopar lover and have owned a few in my 46 years of life. My recent purchase of a 1988 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z has left me unsatisfied with the lack of parts available. For example I can buy brake pads on Rockauto.com for example but only semi-metallic... no ceramic! I am currently just trying to get it road worthy for now but would like to do so much more this summer. links and info to resources in the southern Indiana/Illinois region would be greatly appreciated. This is my first G body and I've always found them to be a bit unloved because they are not the muscle cars the 60's and 70's blessed us with but I think they are cool in their own right. God bless everyone here and I hope I can find my way back to the forum to meet some friends.

Those are cool cars... We have a whole club of them out here on the West Coast SO-CAL..... Hope to see you move that project forward... Keep us posted....

Oh, And you dont have to worry about the "Unloved" Part..... We have some pretty good reasons for not loving them..Like the Ugly old Omni.... Hahahahahaha

Cheers and Mopar on !!!

I never had an Omni but I had a couple of Horizons, my favorite was a n 83 with a 2.2 and 5 speed. My mom had an 83 with a 1.6 Peugeot and 4 speed.
