A Jewel up in flames!!

[suntech]

I got a phonecall from NorwayCharger just now, and he had a sad story to tell. Sunday morning when he went to his bodyshop, the inside of it was completly destroyed by fire, including his  CHARGER
It turns out that a customer car had caugh fire during the night, and pretty much everything is trashed. His beautiful car was standing next to it, and is in very bad shape.
It is really sad to see the loss of a jewel of a car like that. Arne is a supernice guy, and you have all seen his work with the car, and the sweat, heart and pride putted in to this amazing car. We have all been blown away with the craftmanship and quality of this build, and been even more impressed by the fact that Arne did pretty much everything himself.
I know full grown men, that has been in tears for a lot less than this. Lets hope we see him back, with a even more stunning project.

This sucks beyond belief.  That was such a beautiful car.

[Charger1973]

Oh man...  that is a shame.  That car was amazing.

[dodgecharger-fan]

Well what can i say..
Since i bought that car in 2000 i have invested all my savings in it, and now this.
I do not feel like i have the drive or spirit to do it all over again
Now i have my shop to worry about too.

I´ll share some pic´s

  that is a sad sight....
Is it rude to ask about pictures of the Charger?

No it´s not.

It looks like a vulcano exploded in my garage, it is acid gases and a LOT of grime/soot
And the cause of it all seems to be a Chevy

[NorwayCharger]

My Charger was parked aprox 6 feet from the Chevy.
It´s hard to see on the pic´s, but there is warping in the sheet metal

[69charger2002]

well at least that motor is saveable. air filters look good, as does the washer bottle. which means it didn't get too terribly hot under the hood at least. trying to be positive! that shop looks pretty bad. stupid chevy....

    damn sorry to hear this .... the  custom work that went it that charger  was amazing  ................ sad & your body shop wrecked too  ............... 

[NorwayCharger]

Last for now

[Drache]

Dude don't give on her! Even the tires on the chevy van weren't melted and thus a good sign. The sheet metal on your charger might be a little warped but I get you that you clean your car up and she will shine. The Charger didnt burn that thus you should be thankful for that.

[Charger1973]

It looks better than I expected it to.  I would clean it up and see what you're really looking at.   

[Red440]

Man that is  just horrible 

That car is an inspiration for my build. Best of luck with rebuilding your place of work and your fantastic machine 

[tan top]

    don't look bad ..was expecting a   big mess ............  how much of the sheet metal has warped  ( roof  i'm guessing )...  could  not of got that hot ..as the paint is still there ......

[NorwayCharger]

Yeah i believe i could fix it
I can see that there was 3 wet spots with oil under the car, one for the engine, tranny and rear.
And that ugly smell.
It´s funny that a volvo and a MB that was parked 12-16 feet away was much more damaged.

Nothing's built like a Charger....

The paint has some bubbles and other places it has come loose from the body.
The warping is on the roof/decklid and hood.
I have not really study the car, to painful right now
