    Man, I'm sorry to see that happen to one of the best 4-doors I've ever seen. Glad no one was hurt though. You will rebuild one way or another.

    Jason and his girls proved that 4 doors can be as cool as a 2 door. Even had me wanting one. Wow let's all take a step back and reasses where we are. 2 cars in a week. That's enough! J. keep your head up bro. We'll ALL be back. And, I am very glad no one was hurt, and that you got it out of the garage before your home was damaged.

    If you can get the doors open do you think you could gut it and put a new roof on and wireing harness and interior and the other stuff and maybe save the car.

    i doubt it. the roof is bent and buckled pretty bad from the heat. i can pop the roof metal up and down with 1 finger. to rebuild would mean a complete gutting and start over. much easier to find another car and transfer parts over. the doors are welded shut and bent from the flames too. the front end is still good so i will pull it apart as well as the rear end parts and wheels. anyone have a good car for sale. CHEAP cum mon help a brother out.
    the light was a halogen work light. the kind that has its own small stand under it. you can get them just about anywhere but be warned they get very hot to the touch. i learned my lesson.

    Dayum man... :(
    Your car is the only 4 door that I ever liked!

    Sorry to hear about it.
    Tell the girl to keep her chin up and her and daddy will build another.
    Even better this time because of how much you learned with the first!
