Major Setback

Well, the worst thing that could ever happen, happened to me last Sunday. My garage had an electrical fire and I lost every tool I had along with the Vista Cruiser quarter and door I just got. I also lost a restored 69 Mustang Fastback and 87 Honda Magna. I was just starting to see light at the end of the tunnel with the Cruiser and now I'm back farther then ever. To say that I am down is an understatement.




You can see the Vista door in the one




1987 Honda Magna

Wow that thing went up for sure! Looks like the 69 Fastback can be saved and restored again. Sorry for your loss and hopefully the insurance will treat you right so you can buy new stuff.

Yes, I went in and rolled out the Mustang. The issue was the other vehicles I had were in the way so I could only roll it out as far as the picture showed. My big mistake was not closing the door after I got it out. Had I done that, it would have given me time to move the cars again. My brain was so focused on the disaster, I couldn't think right.

Bummer!

Thankfully nobody was hurt, cars and motorcycles can be rebuilt or replaced.
