HM1121 caught on fire in my shop

[mrobbins]

 It's a long story but my Cobra caught on fire in my shop two weeks ago . I was able to stop the fire quickly but my car looks like hell and since I am not planning on ever selling
my car I have been working on improvements to my car . I have stripped all the cut pile  carpet and will be installing loop style carpet with the plastic backing . I have dropped
the seating and have given myself 1 1/2 " lower seat set in the car. During the confusion of putting out the carb fire I tripped over a half gallon of red alkyd enamel and of
course the the damned thing landed just right and red paint was all over the rear area of my pretty Viper blue . I am to the buffing stage and am happy I didn't lose my car !

      I will remake the header on the Gen. I one car . They fit like a first time welder built them...........more to come as in pics .           Mike

Yikes- Mike, that sounds like near disaster. Glad you got it put out. Any idea of the cause (leak, backfire, electric)?

Mike, glad it wasn't any worse than it was. I can relate to the red paint episode. It seems like any time I do something lately, if there is anything that can fall, tip, spill, etc near what I'm doing it does and just causes more work. Good luck and keep us posted on the mods with pics.

Mike, so sorry to hear this news. Any fire damage to the body, other than the red paint?
Keep us posted.
