 Well guys my bodyshop almost went all up in flames. :'(.My car spray booth set its self on fire some how.Know one nows how or why.Luckley no one got hurt and it was contained to just a corner section of my shop.The fire department shut down a major street and took 3 hrs before they were done.So now this makes it a lil tough running a body shop with no spray booth for 6 six.Great just what i needed.Here are some pics of the back of the unit.












This could have been a major fire as my shop is 10,000 sq so it could have been nasty.But ill be busy with my shop a little so ill try not to be a stranger around these parts.O No one was hurt so thats another plus.Ok guys ill keep ya updated take care.




Just another weekend with the smoker...

Glad nobody got injured. I used to restore old muscle cars, shot alot of Imron, rootbeer brown was my fav color.

You are very lucky IceRat! That could have been a huge amount worse. I'm in the property insurance business and unfortunately get to see the ugly stuff too often. Good luck with the repairs and always look at the positive side of things.

Well there about 75 thousand dollars in damage.A new spray booth is on its way.Nice upgrade too.That a good thing.But running this shop without a spray booth is going to be a hugh challange.But i do have some other friends up the street with a body shop that are going to let me use there shop so this will be very interesting to say the least.Thanks guys.

It's never easy to face a loss like this, but you will discover friends that you never thought you had.  Best of luck in getting every thing up and going again.
May the fragrance of thin blue smoke always grace your backyard.

Glad you are alright rat.  With upgrades, true friends showing their colors, and an inhanced awareness, this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.  Let me know if I can help in any way.

I'm really sorry to hear about your shop damage Rat, glad you're ok, and i hope it's not too long until you're set up 100% again. Very frustrating when things happen that can compromise your income, anyway hope you get sorted very soon. ;)
