bummer dude. wish you the best

Kris,


I also think in the future the elky would be a serious sema project.. :hail:

It looks like the rear and side's bed are ok..If there was serious damage to
those areas,then i would consider it a loss.not like you can't get those parts
but allot of time and body work would be costly.

I was thinking of looking at your pictures and not being able to recognize
what it was,or was left,not really to bad..Sure its bad timing right now,but
your a car builder..and a dam good one! Nothing will stop you and the elco
will be better than it ever was. Keep that perspective. :thumbsup:

Again,sorry for the loss,but thank you for pointing out that our projects
should not be overlooked and there vulnerable anywhere we go..And this
could happen too any of us at anytime.

I have heard of a guy going to power tour..checking in the hotel,parking his
pride and joy getting up the next morning and its gone!! ALL,along with the
trailer it was parked in and the truck it was towed with!! :(



I hope it all works out for you guys kris..

I thought about something today.

This must have been a ordered job, someone has a similar car that has been hit in the front and they needed replacement parts.

Tell the police to check accident reports that involve a El Camino or Chevelle that has smashed the front. Probably ran into someones back. Couldn't be to hard to find in their records.

Just a thought that might help.

WOW I read the other thread and last I heard it was possibly getting overhauled. Dang that makes me sick too. Right out of your work parking lot too? Thats just unbelievalbe and you had it locked!! Doesnt your work have video cameras??
Luckily insurance should cover most of that. Just not the blood sweat and tears invloved in creating it the first time.

:eek: OMG!!! Seeing that makes me sad :( . Some people are just scum.

It is still rebuildable though :) . I know where a front clip is :unibrow: .

Damn that sucks..

My first NEW car was a 91 Prelude.. Top of the line.. l loved that car. Was stolen 6 months after I got it and stripped to the frame..

Crooks suck and deserve a LONG slow death..

Sorry man :(

That's pretty good thinkg Jan. Get a copy of the police report and find out who was driving the Elco/Chevelle, post the address and time/date that you want everybody to go over and kick his @ss.

My dad's picking it up today. It hasn't been totaled by the insurance yet, but they said we could pick it up and they'd send an adjuster to their house to decide.

My dad and I talked it over and we want to give this car a happy ending, so we're going to start going over a list of what needs to be done and what we'd like to do.

We both think that if someone would have it at their booth, that we'll try for SEMA next year. It will make the rebuild a bit easier on our finances due to the possibility of sponsorships. I would love to redo the suspension and drop a LSx motor in it since the thieves stole all of the original smog components too.

I'll keep everyone posted on what we do next. Let's hope everything works out for the best.
