BAD NEWS-NO MORE!!! (New Front-End + Paint/Interior) 6/23


Recommended Posts

Dude...VERY upsetting. Not a good day for sure to find this shit out. You had a SATA?!?! Such a badass gun man. Well what are your options? Homeowners insurance maybe? You think you might know who might have been the slimy friend(ex-friend) that did this?

*Edit-Keep an eye on the local craigslist to see if your stuff turns up

This^^^ I found my ps3 that was stolen on craigslist.

Also i believe if you have homeowners insurance it should be covered, I know when my home and garage was broken into they took care of it both times.

Turns out I'm also missing a few jars of pearls/metal flake and a few quarts of paint that I had laying around.

shit man that sucks losin all that equipment, especially the SATA! hope you find it all and can finish your work.

Yeah the sata was my first nice gun, sucks to not have been able to use it at all.The truck build was moving slowly due to not having enough funds since I dont have a job,but its not stoping just gonna be on hold for a month or so.

Yeah bro that shit got to me all day yesterday but I'm more cool about it now, nothing I can do about it now.

Yeah I had barely gotten the Sata like 2 1/2 weeks ago. My bro works at an autobody supply store so he gave it to me at wholesale price.

No homeowners insurance FTL!!!

I kinda have a felling that It could have been one of my bro's coworker being that every now and then they stop by the house to get a few items from the inventory my bro keeps in his work truck.Mainly because most of the items they took were body shop tools you know.Also I know for sure my friends wouldn't even know what to do with this stuff or who to sell it to.

Damn dude, that sucks!!!bull.gif

I had something similar happen to me in my apts, they broke into our truck & stole a power generator, air compressor, ryobi drill set, bigass toolbox, & a craftsman grinder...still haven't bought half that stuff again, & that happened a couple years ago...

BTW, I see you're in Compton, I go every once in a while to visit fam, maybe i can lend you a hand whenever I'm in town since I do body work & paint myself...

Fuck man, it sucks that they do it to the hobbyist like us that save so much to get these few tools and just have them stolen in a second.

Yeah bro I stay in Compton, Ive seen the work you do bro (seen your Myspace)and its better than a some of the shops around here so I really appreciate the offer to help, Thanls!

But Imma put the truck on the back burner for a while until I find a job.But as soon as its finished I'll hit you up so you can critique my work, cool?

shit really sucks man, it was comming along great.

I know it will be awesome when you get back on it, now its even more motivation to find a job!

Shit, if i were you i would look for one at a painter/autobody shop, as your skills look top notch!

Keep an eye on craigslist and ebay as well as autobody forums, its bound to show up somewhere, people are too money greedy to just keep it all for themselves.

good luck and keep your head up! :drinks:

I hate long signatures....

...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head...

Thanks bro, I'm definitely trying to find one but mostly anywhere I go they aint hiring on the opposite they are laying ppl off.

Yeah I've been to a few local shops around here but they want experienced guys for the most part. Thats why I was gonna paint my own truck and use it kinda like a resume. And being that most of the stuff I know how to do I've learned on my own you know working on my own cars.I appreciate the kinds words bro, believe me when I tell you I aint gonna let this shit stop me.

Yeah I'm gonna check eBay and CL every few hours, and thanks again for the kind words :drinks:

Ok`Guys, After getting back on my feet I decided to change my original plan for the truck.

I am going all out with 08 front end conversion new upholstery and a complete change of my original paiint scheme.Paint is gonna be pearl white (inchuding the wheels) with some Kandy Bugundy Accents.

I started 3 weeks ago and onlt have until July 7 to finish it since its gonna be my younger sisters present for her Quinceanera (her sweet 15).

I dont have many pics now, but I will try and take more as I progress on the build.

I also did a small spray-out of the paint combo.
