Good luck with the recovery.

We dont have a clue to what may have caused the fire, I will say it was a very very hot fire lots of flammables in the shop!

I just had to tell you guy's this as I have everything eles!lol, also lost in the fire was all the interior of my son's 69 truck. Well the board member's rallied together and came to the resque and sent any and everything that was lost!
I never mentioned the seat due to not wanting to put a burden of shipping on anyone, however I did talk.PM some local member's that I could travel to if they could locate a seat. I put out some feeler's around town and the surrounding area for a seat. I rode to a guy's house the moved down here from New York and he has a couple ole trucks setting around behind his place and a nice 70 GMC Longhorn. I stop by as he was out in his shop and I told him what had happen to my shop and all, I met him as a customer of mine at the store I work at, after I told him about what all had happened he turns and looks at his helper and says pull the 70 up to the shop and take that seat out, he said he has 2 more seats in New York at his other house!
I just stood there and cried in the amasment of what just happened before my very eye's!
God has changed my life through all of this and has humbled me down in away I have never been humbled.
God has restored my faith and as days go by has restored alot of what the fire destroyed!!
I just had to share this with yall. That seat was pretty good w a cheap seat cover over it but I'm gonna get it covered here in town.
I wish yall could had seen this man who did this, he is 6.5 and 350 Ibs and a trucker, a real big barley man,,,,,,,,,,with a heart as big as Texas....
Thanks guy's for everything, mostly reading and being bless as I'm blessed to have yall.

I think a lot of people picture jesus as this meek individual but i really believe he was the original bada$$ for what he endured. Please don't ever forget that jesus didn't tap.........and neither will you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amen!!!!!!

Im going to hold the Earnhardt standup for you for a wall hanging for your new shop and be on the lookout for more stuff of that nature .Im glad things are getting better for you and your son. I wish I could have helped you with the parts for your truck but didnt have anything you needed. Prayers continue to come your way .

hey donnie, have you gotten seat belts for your boys truck yet? i got that 68 parts truck and it has black belts, not original but old gm belt. let me know if you want them.

[BIG ORANGE]

Little update here guy's, Got a new street glide last week that replaced my soft tail harley and also got paid for my shop and we start cleanup early Sat. morning and then I well decide wheather or not I'm rebuilding or relocating.
Still working on the contents of the shop, this could take alot of time cause I dont want to forget anything that was lost. Thank you all for all your support and help. God has been so good to us through this deal,,,

[splehigh]

Glad to hear it! Post some pics of the new harley. I'm looking for one myself.

[mpotts64]

what color interior stuff you need? I have some blue seatbelts, some green seatbelts, some door stuff, some radio delete plates, sun visors, and other stuff, let me know what color and what you need. All parts out of 67 and 68 trucks. The problem with life and faith is we try to limit God and make His abilities according to ours. Like when David was facing Goliath. All the trained fighters and warriors would go out and look at this huge guy and go back and said he is too big to fight, the little shepherd boy said he was too big to miss and proved it with one smooth stone. Rock on brother,

Had a few PM's about updates but other than cleaning up and working alot and going to church there's really nothing new to tell, havent seen the 69 truck in a month, had to break down and get Buck a car to drive untill we can get to the truck. Building a Zoning are being hard to work with but thats what they do best!!! Gonna pray about that that deal there! Just got the streetGlide back Thurs. and ran over my dog of 14 yrs comming through the gate in the back yard, crushed his pelvis when he ran under the rear wheel of my truck. Had to put him down at the vets office at midnite, that was a very emotional time for us all. Other than that we still working on the content sheets to turn in all together, guy said I better be very therall on everything cause after they depreciate from the total it could be scary.
Thanks for all the PMs and help with all the burnt parts that we lost in the fire also!

I'll post a pic of the bike soon as I get time.

[Hubscrub]

Sorry about your dog, i had to put down my chow chow of 16 years and i still hurt sometimes i felt like i murdered him i just cried for days but he was to the point he couldn't get around anymore just suffering. I hope every day is a bit brighter than the last if you look around it's not hard to see how truly blessed most people are compared to alot of others i thank God for that and just keep looking up. GOD BLESS you.

[wrwelton]

hello Donnie, Sorry to hear about your garage, the contents and especially your dog. I hope this the end of your bad luck and things turn for the better. I can not imagine and it is making me think that this could happen to any one of us. I have quite a few parts and if you are looking for anything special, dont hesitate to ask. God bless. walt

[sanford66]

Good news! I'm glad things are starting to come back togather for you. I hope everything works out for you. I know what you are going thru, had the same thing happen to me. I now have a new garage, another 72 to drive, and am rebuilding my tool collection one piece at a time. Things will get better, but it doesn't happen overnight. Joseph

[sir_talk_alot]
