Wow, really sorry for your loss, those pictures are painful to view but I'm glad you are OK.

I have just completed building my Cobra, it has a 2.5lb Halguard Fire extinguisher between the seats, I also installed a Firebottle fire system with nozzles around the motor and in the trunk. I am so paranoid about fire that I have an inertia switch and a fuel pump safety switch that only runs the fuel pump when the motor is running.


Last week, I was setting the fuel pressure and got too much fuel pressure to the carb. After a test drive, I noticed the motor was running real rich, I popped the hood and found the intake manifold cutouts full of fuel that came from the carbs vent tube. After this event, I realized these cars need really good fire suppression.
