Sorry for the new thread, just thought everyone should see how bad people can be. This makes me sick...

Not sure where we stand on getting it back or possibly rebuilding it...but it's looking grim.

Damn those lowlife people.

I am really sorry and it must be heartbreaking to find it like that.

Sorry to hear of this Kris. I know to a certain extent how you must feel, although they did not steal my truck, they did steal alot of things out of it & damaged it extensivley. Makes you feel so viloated.

Hopefully the saying comes true, "What comes around goes around", & they'll get theirs in the end!

That sucks!!!

Are you keeping an eye on ebay for the parts? Perhaps they will be too lasy to primer the fenders before listing them and you can catch them!

My best friend is a cop here in Oregon and he told me at least one car is stole every day...that's pretty bad considering we don't really live in that bad of an area!

The problem with cars like we build on this site is that even though we may have them insured for a lot of money...you just can't replace the memories and labor involved. I know I would be heart broke if my car was taken, even right now, it represents my first attempt at a lot of different areas of car building and I hope this one will never be for sale as I have plans of giving it to my son one day.

I truely hope you and your father don't get the short end of the stick on this one!!! From looking at the pics it does look rebuildable though, after all, the memories are with THIS car, try to think positive and get it back on the street again!

that's rough man.... but at least they were neat about it, used wrenches and stuff, instead of a crowbar, cutting torch, and brute force. You can fix it.

The very first new car I ever bought was stolen, the second week I had it, with 362 miles on the clock. it was an 86 monte SS, same dash as your elky. Did you know the fastest way to remove the radio in that dash is to grab the lower corners and pull? The foam dash rips, whole thing pulls right off.
