That sucks dude.  :o That's it. I am adding a fire extinguisher to mine. I have been working to hard to get this thing the way I like it to watch it go up in in smoke.  :'(

The TDS Safari requires you to have
an extiguisher, so I mounted one 4
years ago. So the other night I'm enjoying
the new engine, and round a corner a
little fast, one of the swampers in the back
(seats removed) slides over an pushes the
extiguisher handle, powder everywhere inside
the trucklet  :P

Ohh well, better to have and not needed than
needed and not have.

Sorry to hear about the trucklet  :'(

Damn I hate to hear that. Did you at least have full coverage insurance to cover it?

Sorry  :'(

Mine is a '90, so I better watch out. I wonder what was on the distributor that ignited. Yours doesnt look bad enough to scap it. If it was mine, I would take a trip to the local pick and pull and strip one of all the parts I needed to fix it.

That sucks, I feel your pain.  :(

I know first hand what you are going through right now. I had a 1966 Buick Special, it looks just like a Skylark or a Chevelle of that era, which burnt up due to a short in the wiring harness. It sucked because I was in the process of customizing the car when it happened.  :'(
