Hey guys,Ive been gone a while but searched for a post about Matthew after recently talking to his brother,Ive done buisness with Matthew for a while and have seen/talked to him several times.Let me say at this point he owes me money as well and it seems his brother is going to make it right,I will need to drive up to get the part so I will check on the kick panels.Anybody who has had an addiction or known someone with an addiction knows that when you fall down you dont just hit your knees,you fall of the radar,Matthew played/toured in a heavy metal band for alot of years and has alot of friends in different states and I would guess from being in that scene for years most are not exactly white pickett fence and family type guys.Without digging too much into his personal life there is an ex from hell that likes to play head games and has custody of his girl-and as I recently found out more in short his mental health is gone,he problay hasnt looked at a computer let alone be a working/contributing part of society since he relapsed.Im not defending him but I would not want his situation for anything.His brother does live with him and they are very close,hes also been into cars and they live in a small enough confine that he knows about everything Matthew has,most of his parts are gone since he needed quick money to blow town but his brother told me of the events on fabo and said the kick panels were still there-I guess he even cleaned/painted them? before his meltdown.And as was mentioned the barracuda was for sale cheap,his brother just needed to recoup the cash borrowed form him and the title was in his name so no theres no fraud going on.Unless all hell breaks loose I am supposed to get up there in the next day or so and if the kick panels are there I will bring them back with me.Alot of people including me are blessed enough that we never had to endure a life like that,Ive witnessed it alot and maybe that helped me from repeating it and although I would never do it I can sympathise with those that are caught up in it.For many who have done buisness with him we know his genorsity is amazing and its really sad to see such a nice guy fall victim to his demons,I will update this as I know more.
