    Madd Madd Madd

     



    Guy across the street had his uncles 49 Pontiac 2 door sitting in the yard. It was just a shell in very good condition ready to paint. His uncle 80+ years old took it to a body shop to replace the floor pan. Car was running an looked real good. Uncle went into the hospital for a while. The body guy sold the good running 350 in it the chassis out from under it and the crate motor the owner had purchased for it.

    After getting out of the hospital it was set on a trailer and parked across from me Told the nephew I would like the first shot at it if it came up for sale. Yesterday a friend came and told me he saw it on the scales at the crusher.

    That's just a sad, sad story! Hard to think the body guy can get away with his actions.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Body guy was in my shop before I rented it. About 3 months after I was here a guy walked in. Pointed to were my car was and asked were his 67 Goat was last he saw it was right there. I told him were I thought the body guy moved to. Think the guy cam back about 9 months later looking again. Told him again never saw it and were the guy possibly moved. Found out later he was famous for scrapping customers vehicles. SICK.
