jason graham, owner of jason graham hot rods ( www.jasongrahamhotrods.com  ) watched EVERYTHING burn to the ground in his shop tuesday feb 22, 2010. 
 
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

please let me know if you can donate anything (anything at all!) by contacting us on the facebook page...

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!

Sorry to hear about a good shop going down like that. I'll try to get some money together for them. Good luck with the benefit help.

I know that has to totally suck ,but didnt he have insurance? And i dont mean that in a negative way either just asking a question. It looks like he had customers cars in the shop.

Only the building and tools. My dog Molly did get out.__________________There are NO RATS in my HOT ROD !!!!!

I always make sure that customer cars in my shop have at least storage insurance which insures them for fire and theft. its like $8 a month here, well worth it. But I'm not sure how it works everywhere else. Like Chris said, I'm trying to do what i can through my business to help this guy out. I know a lot of minitruckers probably dont have extra income around to send this guy cash directly out of pocket (if you do, then obviously that would help the most) But if you are saving up or looking to order parts soon anyways, I'll be donating a minimum of 5% of all laser orders starting with anything I quoted yesterday. More Details Here  And chris, stop spelling my biz name 'right' LOL

i think i just threw up....such a waste

Reguardless if he had shop insurance or not(which i believe is illegal in most states) the mans dreams went up.  I know from personal experience what it takes to run and operate a shop.  My shop has insurance for everything under the roof including customers cars.  All of these things can be replaced and shit happens.  So to say "his customers got fucked" is rude in my opinion.  They didnt get "fucked" there dreams as well with the shop owners dreams were burnt to the ground.  Jason, I am sorry for your loss and hope the best.
