Stolen 1979 Chevy LUV V-8 Modified

from The Colony, Texas from Painter Street  

Friday November 21st 2003, According to witnesses, the trailer was hooked up to and hauled off between 1:pm and 3:pm. 

1979 Chevy LUV V-8 unfortunately most of the photos I have were all during fabrication, there are very few of it completed as it was just painted 2 weeks before the theft occurred.  But there are soo many custom fabricated components it should be easy to spot. The chassis work, welds, cage, suspension, rear end and tin and custom panel work is beautiful. The welds are outstanding. that would be the first indicator to look for . This was no backyard buildup. So please examine all the photos.
