ATS Project 50/50

[paulk68]

Have you looked in to contacting the local news they always do stories like that in my area. i would give it a try if you can get thtat guys face out there someone has to know him.

Mr. Beauregard,

We have recovered part of the vehicle that you reported stolen. There is no visible VIN anywhere on the car, but the pictures you provided are a match. We have towed it to our impound lot awaiting your arrival. Please contact the impound lot officer at 1-661-XXX-XXXX extension 131. Please bring a copy of the title, the incident report you filed in Las Vegas, and a photo ID to reclaim your property. I'm including a picture of the recovered item.

Looks like I might have a good weekend afterall.

Bro I hope you get it all back

Tyler

You should post his picture up on craigslist. Post it up in the auto parts section in the Bakersfield area!

[Jim Nilsen]

I am betting that that guy has a 50/50 chance of being found dead or alive !!!

It's also nice to know that someone at the police dept. picked up the ball and did something, whew for them.

Go get em Tyler !

[TitoJones]

LOLZ.

So this was obviously a joke. Funny to some, others not so much.

Just in case anyone is skimming and not reading each post:

The 50/50 Camaro was not stolen. It is at Ironworks Speed and Kustom.

I hope I didn't piss too many people off with my little 'Overhaulin' type story. The pic I posted is of Rodger Lee, owner of Ironworks. He picked up 50/50 while out at the SEMA show, and he is going to breathe new life into the car. He and I had the idea to tell people who ask about it that it was stolen, so we ran with it. It picked up more steam than I thought it would in such a short time, I even saw mass emails circulating about it already. For that I apologize. We have a great community here, tons of people willing to help out a stranger; I didn't mean to decive, just wanted to have a little fun with a project that at times got the best of me.

The first hint of my car going to Ironworks actually came out in Rich Allen's thread. Rodger slipped my car into the background of one of his updates. Brent Dupont, Rich Allen, Mick etc picked up on it rather quickly, but few others did. Here is the post for reference:

The plan is to cut out the entire chassis and start over. Ironworks will be redoing the front and rear chassis, body and sheetmetal.



Ok. I have confessed. Ready for my flaming and public beating.

There really is no substitute for youthfull enthusiasm. Thank God!

At the risk of being misunderstood...this extreme build style is a mirror of where Street Rodding went about 15 years ago, and Pro Street went 25 years ago...with a new, more serious and purposeful twist.
One of the crucial things needed to build a successful car that knock everyone off their feet is to be completely unafraid of not conforming. I don't think there is any doubt about that with these two...on any front.

Good luck Roger and Tyler...this will be great!

[cjrolke]

oh my god
you had me hook line and sinker on that one

not cool

lol

Funny, it's not 1 April.

All in favor of a ban?

No, actually I'm happy to hear that your car isn't really gone.

Which isn't to say I wouldn't break out the banhammer if the masses demand it.

[Portlandrodder]

what a dumb practical joke.

[James OLC]

I told you it was some **** who probably took it. Looks like I was right. Keep an eye on him...

50/50 was (is?) a great project on it's own... 50/50 with an Ironworks flare will be awesome!

You could at least send him the same email you sent me

[Jim Nilsen]

I'm really glad that I don't have heart problems.

Glad to see you have a plan, now I have to get better quick to get done before you damn it.

I wish I had bought cancer insurance, then I would be getting a big check to have the Schwartz finish mine. But I will still have to just plug away on my own. Now if those guy's take as long as the others and have the same problems with those composite people they choose that you have had I just might be able to beat you still.

You are going to give up the composites aren't you?

[dhutton]

I'm surprised Tito Jones pulled this prank. Seems more like something his alter ego Tyler Beauregard would pull.

No hint of a Lie I smelled a rat form Jump street. The only thing that threw me ws the 10k in coverage. Glad to hear this thing is not dead.

[nvmyss]

Man I was ready to call you. The pic looks like someone that I knew from my street racing days and he use to be shady like that.

I'm just seeing this for the first time. Good for you Tyler, that ride in Steves car got the fire lit under your a**. Wait until you get to pound on 50/50 from behind the drivers seat. Driving my P.O.S. is better than any drug I have experienced and believe me I have had plenty.
