A sad day at a killer shop/jason Graham Hot Rods

Oh fuck....that hurts...so sorry.

 

sucks - hope it all works out in the end for everyone

 

Yikes!! Sorry to hear about this.

Fire. Also my greatest fear in the shop...

 

that's awful! sorry for your loss.

 

can someone post the pictures that are on facebook? i dont have an account there and dont care to make one...

 

wow, bad dream come true ..

 

Ugh! That's ugly. Hope it all works out in the end. I'm sure it's hard to see how right now though.

 

Keep your head up man! People can't be replaced tools and cars can.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

that's horrible to look at.. sickening really. I lost a few cars and most tools in my shop during Katrina, but nothing on this scale of loss. I know you're probably still in shock. It took me a few days just to get where I could deal with looking for what might be left ..Welding accident? wiring? anyone know?
I'll head to the facebook page...

 

wow

 

Danm!!! That sucks.

" vaya con dios ".. To hot rod heaven.. Or maybe not.....

 

damn! that's harsh. I got a pit in my stomach looking at that.

Heartbreaking, I hope you fellas recover.

 

my best regards. Makes me sick to my stomach

Im gonna go out and hug my car now

 

I haven't read the whole thread. And I hate when someone else does this, but did anyone mention what started the fire?

 

Not at this time Ray. Fire is the one thing that scares me as much or more than anything.

 

thanks for all your attention to this matter guys. ive had the pleasure to see many cars jason has built and ive met him on many occasions. he lives a matter of minutes from me and i felt that i should step up and get something together for him. we have set up a facebook group page which has 245 members in less than 24 hours. we are planning a benefit on his behalf sometime soon if we can iron out the details.

i ask you shop owners and suppliers to step up and help jason out.
parts, tools, supplies, nuts/bolts, cash, ANYTHING!

we are taking cash donations via paypal to his email address elky59@hotmail.com

the facebook group page is

joel liss at mindless metal fab is setting aside a portion of his profits to go straight to the fund as well.

this cat lost EVERYTHING - even if you can drop a few unused tools in the mail that would be great!

thanks for your attention and your help to get a badass builder back on his feet!

cheers,
lucky

 

That just makes you sick to your stomach..

 

Jason is a good man and a very talented sheet metal man.

 

Wow i cant believe that, Fuck thats just hard to look at im shocked..Heartbreaking

 

So sorry Jason. If I can do anything to help, just let me know.

Glad your dog made it out.

Wow, that just sucks. don't know what else to say.

 

That is just devastating! Man I hate to see that.

 

that bums me out to see that classic steel charred-as long as everyone was okay--it's just steel man-but damn good steel it was.

 

That brings tears to my eyes. Lots of dreams ruined.

 

A few years back I had some trouble out of the lil yellow tub on the way home from L'ville. At about midnight, a clubmate of mine, Gator and I dropped in and fixed my car in Jason's shop. Jason had never met me, yet he opened the door, looked at me and Gator and said help yourselves to whatever you need and home he went. I hate hearing of such misfortune, but I got to think that he will overcome this in a short amount of time.

 

i almost got sick at the pictures sorry to hear about that anything we can do out hear in oklahoma

 

That's a fucking bummer sorry for the loss man... sheesh worries the hell outta me that any of us here might go through that. My buddy and i kill the breakers everytime we leave his garage where we work on the cars, saves money and prevents this tragedy.

Any word on how it started?

Would you like us to email first for an address for any donations?

Maybe us HAMB artists can have a benefit art auction here to help out i don't have a lot of tools but i can donate towards that.

 

Sorry for your loss Jason,take care of yourself.Theres a LOT of strong arms hear wanting and willing to help....................YG

 

So sorry for your loss. Thank God no one was hurt. If there is anything I can do, let me know. You probably have opportunities closer than me, but it you need a little work while you get things squared away, just give me a call. I am sure I can find something for you to do for a bit while you get the shop rebuilt. Or you just need to get out of town and come down to the beach for a week. We can give you something to do to make some bucks while you catch some ocean.
Again, sorry. Good luck.
