Wow, that really sucks. I hope everything turns out ok for him.

Man, a roll cage is the next item on my 'to do' list. I really didn't need to see this.

Welding near a fuel line = time to be ULTRA CAREFUL.

He had a welder, but no fire extinguisher?

Very sad... sorry to see a car destroyed like that.
