Thanks man... I'm sure it'll all work out. Just glad nobody was hurt; things can be replaced.

The fire sucks, but shouldn't insurance cover the at least a good bit of the cost of replacement?

It's really terrible to see the loss from this fire. I feel bad for you and all the others who were affected by this.

Bob mentioned insurance, but he also was talking about all the labor and parts that he had into the rebuild (it was nearly complete). MY insurance said that his should cover the "real cash value" of a "like replacement", but since it's a classic (a 1976) AND it was being up-rated/customized from stock, I'm expecting that the insurance will put up a big fight about the whole thing. I just wanted my *&^%$! engine back so I can drive.

It sounds like this guy will try to do right for ya. I don't know them personally, but I've read good things about them.

Matt I'm very sorry to hear that your engine was in the shop. FWIW Bob is a good person & I'm sure he will do right by you. Let me know if there is any way I can help.

OK, looks like I misunderstod him: he's insured and it should cover the replacement of one (1) working late-model 1275 engine, carb, manifold, etc. No idea how long it will take to get a quote on how much $ that will be - a rebuilt non-uprated 1275 goes for about $6k shipped at 7Enterprises, so it would be NICE if they covered that, but something tells me it ain't gonna be that easy...

I'm sure you will be made whole again. Was the transmission in the shop or just the engine?
