Jimmy's old Dart survived another fire. The body man (former co-worker) who was "suppose" to paint the car for me had an electrical fire in his garage. He may have not touch the car at since I dropped it off, but he did save the car from disaster. I am now waiting to bring it to a real body shop.

Holy crap man, that car is cursed! Better make sure the body shop owner's insurance is paid up.

DAMN that car seems to attract fire... I'm sure you'll
get it back together for another attempt ... hopefully
you have burnt out the fire curse (no pun intended)..
I think the devil is following that car and wants to see
it WARM all the time... best of luck with it

Sell that thing to somebody in Alaska for ice racing before it turns into charcoal!

Maybe put in a BIG rubber band or some squirels in a cage.

That is just too coincidental. The word possessed comes to mind.

Sorry to hear about the mishap. I feel your pain after having a fire myself this year. Sucks for sure but I guess the brite side is it was not together or painted yet. And yeah the word possessed seems to come to mind

No joke, I`d sell that thing and never look back............Had a 69 Sport Satellite that right after I painted it got smashed by a drunk driver, hit a big dog then sold it to a friend. His wife crashed that car several times and needless to say he sold it.

On the serious side....any time you run at that level bad things are eventually going to happen.
If you play with fire.....

It needs exercised alright. Get an engine in that thing and run the dog poop out of it. That is one bad car.
There's still a nice picture of it on Summites Motorsports Park ad for Octobers Shakedown Race. Our spot is rented for that race and we will be there spectating.
