    John, I copied and pasted this on my Facebook page and never even noticed the incorrect date until Dan Starnes questioned it.

    See if you can spot any City CCTV cameras, or Business CCVT cameras that are on routes that lead away from where it was stolen.

    Maybe you will get lucky, and find some clues that way.

    It takes a lowlife to steal from others.

    You got it, eyes in Colorado. Can you post some pics or information on some of the higher end parts? That way if they show up on Craigs or Ebay you have eyes out there.

    I feel like a fool typing in a rush to get all the info out. My date was wrong it was August 19, 2011 We have it posted everywhere we could think of and with everyones help it is out there. It is just a matter of time before it is found one way or another.
    As far as camera around the area it is slightly remote to the thieves advantage I guess.
    Thanks for looking everyone John

    Here is some ifo. that some have requested:

    My # is 636-456-4135 or cell 636-359-6949

    302 auto w/ c-4 shift kit and stall
    6-71 blower w/ dual holley carbs
    champion aluminum radiator
    weld wheels
    8" rear end w/ 350 gears
    disc brake front end
    grey cloth interior bucket s were out of a Honda Accord all interior matched
    Maverick sport wheel
    show quality front and rear bumpers
    along with all the stainless (window trim, tailights hood trim)
    show quality 70 grill

    The hood, fenders and valance will be worthless to anyone since the fenders and valance were welded togather as a single unit and the hood is designed to flip the oppisite way along with the gaping hole in it.

    front spoiler along with mach rear spoiler
    the doors are shaved with no handles or keyed locks
    1/4's also have the side marker lights shaved along with the pass. 1/4 having the antenna frenched in it
    the dash pad is signed by a local artist that did the pin=striping on the flames.

    I really want to THANK EVERYONE for all their help and support, I really thought I would have gotten a call from the police saying they found it burned or wrecked. That leads me to think it is being stripped possible.

    The whole story is this. My shop is 1 mile from my home it is secluded with a cable gate and my in-laws live close to see it when they leave and enter their drive. I last was at my shop on Wed. leaving at 7:30 pm. On Friday I decided I would blow out the cob webs and bring it to a local cruise in for some fun. When I got to my cable gate I recognized my cable was locked different but did not think more about it. I unlocked it and drove to my shop to see the garage door open and the car was gone. I do't know how to describe it but I thought someone (family) had played a trick on me and pulled it behind my shop for a joke ( which they would never do in hind sight) As I looked around the shop the hammer hit my head and I realized my car was stolen. I immediately call the police and there was a number of items they were able to get finger prints from to get my door open and literally drive my car away.
    Get this though they unlocked my gate because I left the key on a nail by the gate (honesty and thinking everyone is good) They locked it when they left.(that was nice) THey drove it away in broad day-light, They have a bigger set og nuts then the bull in the adjoining cow field.
    My in-laws had left at 3:00 pm and seen the door was shut so it happened between 3:00-7:30 pm.
    If I only would not have taken a short nap and gotten my car like I was going to right after work I would surely still have it...... Now it is a long waiting game.
