    Imagine Injection Inc is part of that building. This is such a loss!
     
  5. just found out about this.

    I was staying late finishing a job for a customer just a few miles away, stopped at the QT at 27th and Tomas and could smell the smoke.

    TmcG is (was) the shop manager there.

    I'm sick to my stomach about this, these are friends of mine.

    Sorry to hear this, Mate being the victim of being burnt out completely three times I know that it only seems that hard to start again, you can do it.
    You have Hot Rodders the world over on your side, don't let it get to be too much, its only 'Stuff'.

    Doc.

    PS, Took me years to realise that, its only 'stuff' I worked that out serving overseas in combat. You have family and yourself, thats 90% of the fight.
     
  10. Sorry to hear the news, thoughts and prayers to those affected.

    Fire is my biggest fear, having to watch my '50 Ford burn to the ground once. I wish you the best of luck on rebuilding your business and may God be with you...
     
  12. Bummer for sure. I am praying for you guys...

    There is probably nothing anyone can say to help you feel better, but if no one was hurt, you'll be ok. I've been through it. It's a bitch. I lost everything that I cared about in a garage fire with no insurance. It's like a kick in the nuts. It hurts like hell for a time but it does get better with time. I'm sorry you guys have to go through it. Hang in there.

    Really sorry for Rod and the guys. I've known Rod for many years and he does a really good job. Hopefully he will rise from the ashs with a bigger and better shop.

  26. This is just really bad news for the hot rod community here in Phoenix. If there is anything we can do for them please let us know.

    There was just a piece on the fire on FOX news. Fire ravished a Phoenix hotrod shop, then some film and commentary.
