Got the headliner back from Dee Trim in Plano. In lieu of a velvet Elvis motif I went with a suede black. Should have done blue :)

Well SNL has really worked their asses off to get the car back together. I'd say the wiring is close to 75% done. Most of the damage was local to the harness on the passenger side though we lost a lot of connectors. Melted the Line Loc and ruined the two step wiring Getting it back together. They also took the time to clean off all the suppressant. Between the fire and the power washing, the engine bay has never looked better. Here is a mixture of damage and repair shots.

What a mess to clean up.

I was wondering the other day where you've been. Can you elaborate on the fire source?

We've redone the wiring several times. I wrestled wit a cam position sensor code for about two weeks then rewired that part. Took the car on a 60 mile trip. Had a lot of theories on the source of the fire ranging from Alcohol fire to the TH400. At the end of the day it seems I had a short in a wire that set the insulation on fire. The fire burned for a while and eventually compromised the integrity of the fuel line. The fuel boiled and then vaporized filling the engine compartment, that caused the explosion. The fire seems to also have been fed by a leaking Transmission seal. Damage was mostly to connectors and the wiring insulation/sheaths.
