the thing is i wouldn't doubt that they stole it for scrap. but the i think the ones took it are a couple of illeagles that are always driving around in a flatbead dully asking everyone if they have scrap metal that they can have. the resone i think it is them is because they have a history of taking things from peoples yards and even vacant houses and they are always in the neighbor hood.

I use to have a GM 12-bolt. When I was still in college I drove all the way to Chicago to get it. I say 'use to'. Came home one day and somebody had taken it. I HATE a thief. My guess is they took it to use (not scrap) as they left the 7.9" S-10 axle that was sitting next to it. I hate to think some a-hole is out there driving around with my 12-bolt under their car.

Also had someone rip the Sun Tune II tach out of my Nova. They didn't even cut the wires, they grabbed and pulled and broke the fill panel that goes under the steering column. Grr that makes me angry.

Sorry someone dragged off your engine. If it just happened, you might stop by a few of the local recycling yards. You might see it sitting right there in the pile.

no a few weeks ago i just kept forgeting to post it and if they tried using it they would be in for a heck of a surprise considering one of the external water jackets had a crack in it that needed to be welded shut.

For car guys like us that's prime real estate....we'll have to dig a tunnel from your place to the junk yard...we can smuggle those cars out of there one piece at a time

i wish i was that much closer to it but i'm on the other side of the highway so i'm still a few miles away from it but i am closer to the race track also so that makes it better. you know we need to do another run to that yard sometime.

Yeah we do! I got several interior pieces i need to get, I just broke my b pillar cover

maddog · « **Reply #296 on:** November 12, 2012, 01:44:02 AM »

yeah there are a few things i need to get as well but i might have to wait till next year to get those as money has been a bit on the tight side if you know what i mean.

well my money issue is not as bad as it was twords the end of last year and thanks to some decent budgeting i was able to save some money until something good popped up locally and now $500 later here is the new powerplant that will be going into Survivor. oh and it came with a bonus item.
