I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. The pictures say it all. Did you have any insurance coverage?

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

very sorry man,she was a beauty.
even though it doesn't look that bad the whole car will have to be disassembled to be like it was,and i know how hard that must be to think about
hopefully your shop is up and running again soon.

I think if you give it a little time you'll have the motivation to resurrect it. That was a gorgeous car, and a testimony to your talent. I think you can fix it without too much difficulty. The smell will probably be the hardest to remedy. Good luck and keep your chin up. I lost one too once, then I found the Dart. It will work out  Carter |

Wow. That car looks like it had so many hours and well put parts into her. Hopefully you'll get her running and back in order again.
I'm sorry to hear about this. I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me.
Good luck.

Very upsetting to read this. I got a small taste of it, when I tree fell on my charger. I didn't have much of a chance to put blood sweat and tears like you have. My best wishes to you.

Oh geez. Absolutely tragic. Soooo sorry to see and hear of this. Certainly, you'll need to concentrate on getting your shop and livelyhood back in order. We wish you the best. As for the Charger, just a heartbreaker to see all that time, sweat, money and love get damaged like that. Fixable, but time will tell whether or not you care to muster up MORE time, sweat and love to resurrect it. Again, our hearts go out to you...

Sorry to see something like that happen to anybody, let alone a fellow Mopar guy. Don't give up on it, take the time to get your life back in order, rebuild the shop and before long, you'll get the bug to work on the car you love once again.
Keep us updated.

Wow, that's just got to be heart braking. So sorry to hear about it. We had a bad house fire when I was a teenager so I know just a small amount how it feels to see all your stuff destroyed like that. Again so sorry. |

Ouch From the looks of the offending Chevy, I am surprised the whole shop didn't go up. Will it take long to repair the building and be back in business? As others have said I am so glad no one was hurt. Soooo sorry about your car  Ugh........ Chris |

All that matters is that you're OK. You can rebuild metal, plastic and rubber.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I t hate it for you ,your shop and your ride. I hope that it gets better with each day that goes by. As a body man myself i know the work that goes into that kind of car, and hopefully you can get it fixed back before long.I also hope that you get your shop repaired before long so you can have a place to repair it and make your living. Best of luck to you.
