Thought I'd Share

Most of you do not know me, due to the fact that I don't really get out much. I spend more time on my car than I do showing it off.

Anyways I thought I'd share the sad news that this morning my 1982 Pontiac Trans Am with SB Chevy 305, heavily modified with Edelbrock Top end caught fire and burnt completely. The fire consumed the entire engine compartment minus the block, the hood, all the glass except the T-Tops, the entire interior.

I have not decided where to go or what to do from here, I will either be on the look out for another car to start working on, or to rebuild this one as a strait drag car (due to not having the time or ability to purchase basically a whole other car)
