mike is fine just some scratchs from trying to save some stuff. and when they pushed corys accord from out of the garage. they tried to put out the fire but it was 15 gallons of fuel that just went so it was nothing they could really do.

is it possible that he can use the shell? i mean it does sound rediculous but i think it would be awesome to rebild it again that thing would really be back ffrom the dead lol

good thing i looked in this off topic, i was just gonna post a new thread.

yea this thing is legendary, glad to hear he made it out okay. This car is a pure example of the love/hate. i read on a bunch of sites peoples opinions on this car and its great that he just kept at it and always ignored peoples comments, because at the end of the day it was his car, his money, his hard work put into it. not the people talking. At times i feel i have a fully rusted out BMW, since i am always defending and stating my case as to why i am working on a 20+ yr old car and why i sell one and continue to buy and look for the same 4th gen accord? in the end a handful of people will really understand our love for our cars. and everyone else can just assume what they want, we are gonna do what we want , drive what we wanna drive, and customize the car the way we envision it in our heads.

Sad day for what i think was a very iconic car and i know at least for myself, seeing his build and what he had been thru gives me inspiration to continue my project and keep moving forward in a world we try to be innovative and different. RIP , would be EPIC if he dusted off the ashes and brought it back to life!

Holy shit, that really sucks. He had 24k plated wheels on that sucker. Not sure if they were on at the time of the accident. Hopefully Mike can recover this is terrible.

Best wishes.
But hey cb7_tillidie, that's pretty sick you knew Rusty and know Mike in person.

I wouldn't call the car shit just more less art with a car. Have fun with a car or let it get crushed or sit in a junk yard. But yes many failed attempts at this car by people.

Sucks to see someone's hard work and ingenuity go down hard like so.

Were they doing a photo shoot while they were working on the car? I can see a softbox used for photography sitting on a light stand just in front of the burning garage. Perhaps one of the hot lights ignited something. A soft box that size isn't cheap and it wouldn't just be set up for no reason. Using that as a work light is a huge waste of the bulb also so I can only assume they were doing some sort of photo shoot before the garage went up.

[TracieS]

Naw that was there shop light lol. Everybody asked the same question.
