[QUOTE="JoeJ, post: 5285601, member: 1328"] Guys, I dropped off the Cobra R at Bob Hahn's Body Shop in Nacogdoches, TX today and put it on a lift. It is really hard to tell the ignition point until we remove the fuel cell. The charcoal canister and hoses were really burnt. I think after the fuel cell pressured up something failed on the cell or I got liquid in the charcoal canister and blew off one of the lines. I think it was spraying gas out and the rear brakes set it on fire. I had just finished braking hard and making the left hand turn #1 when the car ignited. We will not do anything to the car until a State Farm adjuster looks at the car. I have a $1000 deductible other than collision on the car. Hopefully they will cover the repair. It looks like I will have to replace the half shafts, rear hub assemblies, the fuel cell, rear wiring harness, the rear deck and wing, and much more. Bob will get a list together and we will start sourcing the parts required. I am so thankful I did not have a passenger with me and that the car was headed into the wind. Sometimes, it pays to be lucky. I will attach a picture of the car and fire just before the firetruck started putting it out. Hope I never have to see this again. [/QUOTE]
