Any way I can help Jimmy just let me know! Sorry man but thats all in the making of an azz kicking machine with new combo,s. keep you head high and get back at it , you will be running again in no time ...Phill

OMG NOOOOOO! I love that car!! Man, that just makes my stuff ache to see that.


Thank goodness nobody got hurt....

I have been following the build of this car from the beginning and I am shocked as I am sure you are. Glad to hear you are ok and the car is repairable but god what a thing to happen to such a beautiful car and all of the work that has gone into it. Keep your chin up as it can only get better.

That really sucks...That is an awesome ride!!

Sorry to here about your bad luck that stinks

Glad to hear you and your family are allright.
Man it just looks terrible.

Any evidence in the data log?

What a sad sight. Thankfully no injuries to you physically, just your spirits are knocked down which can be overcome. Hang in there and keep your chin up high and remember tomorrow is a new day!

Thanks everyone.....

Not much to say except time to start ordering some parts on monday.

I'll be ok a little depressed about it but can't think about it too long just need to jump all over it and fix it.

Yes and after it is looked at I will share what we find out or don't find.

So sorry to see this. You put your heart and soul into this car and then have this happen, it hurts. I had a minor fire, and know a little bit about how big a mess it is. Good luck on getting it back together. I really can't wait to see a post on your first track outing! It wouldn't hurt to check the front rubber, i lost a set of fronts to smoke damage believe it or not. Ruined the rubber!

Sorry to see this Jimmy, I really think I'm gonna hurl. You have alot of blood sweat and money in that thing. Good luck with it.

I have followed the build, nothing to add post wise here, just keeping an eye on your ride. GF thought I got more bad news on the family front when I saw the first pic. Chin dropped about a foot.
Back at it I guess, these silly cars of ours are never done are they.

Man sorry to hear about this I know how you feel and the feeling is sick good luck getting it back in form.

Diego

couldnt believe what I saw..

sorry that happened to you..like you said its a learning curve...a hard one..

anyone else would call it quits..but after reading all you have been thru and had done I know you'll have it back running in no time

Sorry to hear about the car!!

Like some of the others I was expecting a nice burn out pic or some thing. Then my heart sank when I saw that. I thought I got depressed every time my trans went south but that's nothing compared to what I imagine you must be going through

I'm glad every one is OK but OMG after all you've done to have that happen

Through all the heights and lows you faced during your build you shared lots of good interesting info that most of us enjoyed. So sorry to see this happen to what ended up one wild,beautiful,street strip machine. Its easy to sit here and say go Jimmy go but remember one thing. You already build the perfect car so you have the blueprint to do it again. Goodluck and please keep us posted.

im glad no one was hurt.. you got lucky..
this reminds me of a story i heard somewhere..
while standing outside the ferrari enzo he had just totaled the owner a older very wealthy chinese man said "just because you can own a ferrari doesn't mean you can drive a ferrari"

Word's cannot describe just how sick I feel about the car and how sad I am for you, but the only good thing out of all this is,,you are ok.

Wow that is really terrible to see .

I'm still wondering what caused the fire though? Backfires usually give a temporary fireball, what kept it going? Did the explosion take out any fuel lines? Maybe ripped the fuel rails off the injectors??

James, our hearts go out to you. Just as so many have expressed already...thank goodness your ok. The best to you and your family.
