When I saw the subject line I thought it must be a joke, then I saw the first pic and I got that sick feeling. Truly sorry for you man, know how much you've put into this car. Glad nobody got hurt.

It's just a learning curve.As far as we know no one else is running a screw and EFI on alky. I will get passed it it just sucks, fire department saved the car from becoming junk. Tomorrow will be another day I guess we will finish taking it apart next week and start to fix it.AGAIN

Yep, it sucks, but your OK and yes, It's just a car. Your kids want a dad over a car. Just be safe and take it one step at a time. Kinda like John Force, being on fire. I wish you safe luck.

waite a minute!dont you have a fire system.
Yes but the screws on the bottles were not removed to prevent my kids from accidentally setting them off.I was worried when it was on fire as I was trying to take the screws out of the bottles and just got scared it was going to get worse while I was in the car and I would be trapped taking out the screws.

I was hoping to see a wicked burnout pic. Glad you're O.K. If you say it isn't as bad as it looks, I'll have to believe you
