Damn that sucks! sorry man that is very disappointing Im sure.

Hope you have insurance.
For a couple vehicles I have that are being restored, Hagerty offers an “under construction” insurance that is pretty affordable in case of a situation like this.
Really sorry to see this, you must be heart broken.

That is sickening just to see the pictures. Can’t imagine how it must be for you. So sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss, like others I hope nobody was hurt.

13

Sorry to hear this news.

That is heartbreaking, so sad for the loss of such fine vehicles and all the other property. I do hope everyone is safe.

Thanks all,
no one was hurt, it was a crazy fluke started with am ember getting into a bag of charcoal somehow bbq was outside the building and the charcoal was inside the door , anyway a smoke detector would have saved this structure, it was apparently smoldering for 12 hours before.
Just a reminder guys please be safe with welding/ grinding making sure the sparks don’t get into something. And add a smoke alarm even though it may go off from our activities in a shop would have alerted before this was allowed to take off.

All our hearts go out to u

Is the Crome trim on front hood of the 67 salvageable and what’s happening with the 351W

Could use exterior door handles from the 67 if salvageable
