i'm glad that you're okay Waylon! i had a feeling that something was up when you went quiet. but either way, you definitely dodged an artillery round with that fire, at least you're still alive which is what matters the most. but hey, you'll be able to fix almost everything and it wasn't a total loss, including the Dodgellac which just adds a bit of optimism to an otherwise tragic situation. You're a huge inspiration to me and many other people in the youtube and car communities! I've been a frequent flyer when it comes to watching your videos since i was 13 years old, the rockabilly is easily one of my favorite builds that came out of your shop. Your builds are true works of art and i'm glad you've shared them with the world! And thanks to your videos i found my dream truck, a 1937 chevy truck. i bought a 1.5 ton last year and now i'm getting around to building it and hopefully i'll have it done by november, oh and i'll be using it as a welding rig. your "if i can do it, you can do it'' attitude towards building cool stuff is one of the best parts of watching your channel. no matter how tough things get, you always gotta keep moving forward and to keep up the good work!

Hang in there Ken, can't imagine my days without your corny humor and your amazing ADD mind, (just like mine!). Been a musician all my life and am a retired music director. Grew up on blues, folk and bluegrass. So, we all have your back... keep on wrenching and picking brother!

Praise the Lord, Ken that you didn't get hurt! You know your guardian angel was helping you fight that fire because things could have definitely got out of control in a hurry. There is one thing to be thankful for after this accident and that is all your engineering was saved, all you have to do do is replace parts. You could have been looking at a lot of molten missing pieces and would be scratching your head as to how did I build this part initially! So, just keep your head high and look at the beautiful piece of equipment that you put a lot of years into and maybe just toss a few parts at the old girl as you recover? YES!! please keep the videos coming, there are many of us that value your wholesomeness & creativity & fresh content. Take care old buddy!

thank you for the nice comment. I appreciate it very much.....you make it sound very minimal haha.. but I'll tell ya...its much more involved than just "replacing a few parts" its going to cost a fortune!.... all the suspension is destoryed, A arm bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, everything!.. the tires (spendy) the carbs (spendy), the windshields (spendy)! the 39 ford teardrop headlight lenses and bezels(spendy).. all of the wiring and all of the air bag system is destroyed.. on and on.. but in spite of all that..its all material things and I'm counting my blessings.. I'm so grateful that i didn't lose my shop like poor ol Brent did.

I found your channel at the end of the dodgellac build, went back and watched the whole thing, and I'll be looking forward to watching it again.

You are a testament to the strength of the human spirit. It's obvious making this video wasn't easy, so thanks for doing it. Looking forward to Dodgillac (sp?) version 2.0! Nobody makes 'em like Waylon Wire!

Glad to see you back. Super happy to know you are ok. I really missed your videos. Keep them coming please sir. I truly enjoy watching them you are an incredible fabricator and mechanic. Sorry to hear about the fire. stuff happens like you said we have all been there. a few years ago I was having some carb issues and went to purge the cylinders and forgot to pull the wire on the coil. I burnt up a freshly rebuilt motor and ruined the paint on a really nice Camaro.

Hi Ken, Glad are alright. I been watching your channel long time. As you know, when you take a hit. You have to dust yourself off and get back to it. I took a hit Monday and I was beating myself up. Tuesday I was back at it and had good results. It's life, you have to kick back. It will get better.
