Well it was a sad day today at my house my dad was restoring a 68 cougar. Built the motor 306 with a demon carb heads, edelbrock intake,I mean the whole nine yards.The car was going to be wimbledon white with a black top with an elimantor hood and spoiler, with brand new magnum 500's.He has invested almost 12 thousand bucks in it and was hoping to get it finished in April. That would be almost a year to date when he dropped it off. Well found out this morning that the guys shop burned last nite with my dads car in it, burned the carb all the way down to the heads,melted it. Nothing left but a burnt shell. It made me feel sick to my stomach when I found out, I can only imagine how my dad is feeling, and to top it all off no insurance on the shop! The guy was doing car restoration on the side and I have seen some of his work and it is immaculate, but he was just renting the building and not sure how the guy who owns it will handle it. I just hope my dad doesnt end up loosing his ass. I just dont think that would be fair at all
RIP 68 Mercury Cougar I, like my dad will miss u!
