Tough Night

Thanks Kenny

Floyd that is a bad deal for sure. yellowbullet .com is a great place to spread the word. They can be ruthless on the site but they hate thiefs and people that have posted problems have gotten results. G-body cars are very much in demand in street tire events and that is the type of people on the site. Make sure you post on the newbie thread or you will get hammered. The site is not a fix all but the results that have come from it is very good.

When we arrived we noticed the side door open. Once we entered we found the car, new moser rear end, two 305 bare blocks and numerous tools and other parts had been stolen. After talking to the sherrifs office we were informed that the stuff is probably heading up north to the NY area or west to the Texas area. This project was a 87 Monte Carlo SS that is in primer and sealer. The interior was removed for paint but they took that too. It has warlock wheels with new hoosiers all the way around. The frame was powder coated black and the jambs were already painted candy rasberry. Please if you see this car let me know. This project was being done by kids from 3 local schools and my daughter and myself. We have worked really hard to educate these kids on class racing and they were so excited to get the car so close to completion. We are trying to find some pictures from cell phones as the digital camera was in the shop for record purposes and that is gone too. If anyone has a 84 to 88 monte or cutlass that they could donate or sell really cheap it would also be helpful. Please let us know. All information will be kept confidential.

I have held commenting on this until now, because well having stuff stolen (ESPECIALLY for the kids) is just sickening, its impossible to explain to them why someone would do it, its sad, it changes a persons perspective forever. I have had things stolen and now well, I am 38 yrsold and understand to some degree why people steal a)theyre lazy dirtbags b)maybe in a real bad spot and need to feed the family c)are just thieves d)do it for the thrill e)cant make an honest living f)werent raised right, the list goes on and on. But while I agree with none of them I understand it.

To a younger person they cant and it wil jade their perception of people to some degree, try not to let that happen Floyd, let them see you handle it well and their emotions will follow, dont get too negative about the dirtbags that stole it in front of them even though I too would be seething. Shrug it off as a "well they obviously need it more to steal it" and let them know youll built the next one better, the next one is always better because you learn on the first, try somehow to turn it into a positive for them.

You understand I think what Im trying to say.

I do know where theres a complete and rust free Monte (81) for about $800 no title, its in a shop that has been owed money on it for 10 years...lol...they never re-applied for a title. Its just sat inside...its my cousins shop, if he wasnt so broke and needing the money I would ask him to donate it.....but its an "option" I guess, Ill root around if there is anything I can think or find SBC and GM Ill ask you if you can use it.

Ill also keep an eye out, but I dont see it ending up here, Ebay and CL though.

Drooze,

You may well have hit on something here.

Floyd,

What might you need in the way of parts, tools, what not? You could throw a list of stuff on here that you could use? I doubt I have enough spares of anything that you might want but if I did and it's something I don't need. Be glad to donate it. From the response here, probably others that feel like I do.

For that matter, I have a 92 RS Camaro body setting in the driveway, the owner of the car wants the transmission and the t-tops back. My wife promised the driver side mirror to a kid she works with (long story there, LOL). I'm going to use the engine for spare parts. Other than that, I was going to strip it, part it out and scrap it. It's not a cherry by any stretch of the imagination. Wouldn't take a lot of money for me to let it go. Downside for you, I'm in Indiana. Something to consider.

I've dealt with thieves a time or two myself, it sucks.

Alright, we all have read that the younger generation is just interested in the "rice burners" and don't know about our cars NOW is the time to step up... We now have $200.00.... Where are the rest of you??? Time to do more than gripe about the younger generation..... Time to "man up" ( hey you gals, not being sexest but I"M on a roll here).... Don't let these kids down.........
