It did get hot in there pretty quick but I was able to coast to The shoulder in time. My legs feel a little sunburned but nothing too bad

My large extinguisher beat the fire down for 5 minutes until it picked up again(when the pics were taken) and the fire crew showed up. I believe it kept the fire contained to the engine bay(combined with fire dept timung)

Wow. That is insane.
I apologize, that wasn’t to imply that you were unprepared just that I’ve been putting off buying extinguishers for my project cars for far too long.

No worries.
I t was a worthwhile investment of $70. Also glad I had placed it close to the door opening. Id recommend the larger size, because they go really quick, I can't imagine a little one helping as much as the one I had did

Sorry for your loss mate, never happy to see a soarer in flames. Any idea on cause? Will you salvage the parts into another car? Hope you are insured, and glad you are ok. Top marks for having an extiguisher with you.

That sucks. Any idea what caused the conflagration?

Fuel leak sparked in the distributor which quickly led to flames everywhere. The parts, mainly the manual swap will live on in another SC, or I may keep this chassis alive so I don’t need to smog another car. Insurance won’t give a damn because it’s minimum coverage. I didn’t want the annual insurance cost be the same as the cars value.
