Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) Makes me think about building a steel-roofed steel garage with a 10,000 gallon rain-capture cistern and a couple of decent sized pumps... EDIT: with directable spray nozzles, and gravel or concrete for at least 20 yards in every direction Edited January 15 by Ace-Garageguy ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2

Ths one doesn’t look like it was in a garage. I’m sure many classics.was lost.. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I really hope that all the cars destroyed in the fires, particularly the vintage and classics, don't get automatically crushed by the insurance companies as total-losses. Even a car in a quite hot fire can yield hard-to-find parts that are made of ferrous metals that will survive...like engine blocks, crankshafts, gearbox housings and internals, etc. 1
espo Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Sadly, many of the news coverages I have seen on TV show many vehicles that have been burned. More than a few interesting older cars and trucks along with several that you can tell they were of a special interest type prior to the fire.
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) I remember just watching some part of a documentary, I think it was called ice on fire; anyway there was a scene where they showed a city that had been on fire and there was the scorched shell of a 1967 or 68 mustang fastback. Very disturbing. Edited January 15 by Falcon Ranchero

Check out the direction of the shadow from the bugbus relative to the rest... It was on the AP website, allegedly taken by Mark J. Terrill of the AP from a helicopter. The woman who owns it didn't lose her apartment either (allegedly again). Stranger things have happened.... 1

Yup, there's a photo floating around of a '58 T-bird with no damage, sitting in the middle of burned-out desolation.
