    Jamie,

    Man that hurts, sorry you lost all of that.

    The one good side of all of this is, when the insurance pays out you can have it rebuilt, just the way you want it.

    It may seem like the end of the world right now, but that will change. Hang in there :TU:

    First thing that came to mind was holy $hit.

    Hope you are ok. The shop and things can be replaced, but you can't be.

    That is hard to hear now, but remember it could be worse. You could have spilled the cleaner on your self. Then where we be?

    Hope everything turns out for the good.

    Crap! I'm very sorry to hear this Jamie, I'm glad no one was hurt!

    I know a little about what you're going through. We lost our body shop to an electrical fire when I was in high school. Tools, a 71 GS 'vert, a brand new dune buggy, a bunch of parts for my original '64, etc. and it's heartbreaking. But hopefully you had everything insured? It can be replaced, people can't.

    Keep your head up and watch out for bouts of depression. We went through that briefly back then.

    Seeing the pics makes me absolutely sick. It pays to have insurance when something like this happens. I hope you have coverage. And I am glad you and anyone else weren't hurt.

    I'm in shock. A loss like this is horrifying. So sorry to hear it. I know what it's like, I went through the same thing in 1980 and your advice about having fire extinguishers at hand is the best possible advice you can give right now. So everyone, please take this seriously, we now know it can happen to anyone at any time. Let us know if we can help in any way.

    I understand your anguish, tho we all move forward. Keep us posted.
