Sad if that's the case as I was looking forward to following his process. He did however have a number of people warn him of issues he may face. Hope no one is injured as a result.

He is fine and no injuries for him or others. Car sounds to be very much melted with a big fire. The guy will be hurting so let's try not to be too clever people :) Sure he will update his threads soon enough.

Its not a matter of being "clever". Its a matter of him being advised by many people that know more than him that something like this would happen and him being a stubborn know it all and dismissing everyone by posting reams of waffle. I've had a car catch fire a few times, luckily put out before too much damage was caused, and obviously I feel for him and wouldnt wish it on anyone but perhaps a lesson might be learned. I doubt it though

I havent said much on the car/build at all, but I have to agree with Mark on this.
