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. Rolf |

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....

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.

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