 :scared:  :scared:  :scared: holy crap Phil!  Talk about a dangerous situation.  I've seen a Tv documentary on the plant very hi-tech. Hope that was for the lot and not someones order.

With all the Tin foil everywhere, looks like they might have been doing some paint touch-up and got a heat lamp a little too close.  Too bad for the car.  Looks like an SRT.  Wonder if there will only be 1099 of 1100 or if they will build one to replace it.

I wasn't sure until I blew up the pic, but yeah, it's an SRT.     :crying:

I've been through that plant and they're pretty careful! It looks to have started in the lft frt corner as shown by the melted alum hood. I don't know if that's tinfoil. It looks more like the deployed and cut out airbags that would have cooked off. Damn shame any way you look at it!  :eek4:
