    Sad News - NCRS Members Corvette Shop Damaged in Houston Explosion

    Sad to report that Gordon Andrus, fellow NCRS and Texas Chapter member's business was severely damaged in Friday's morning's explosion. Thankfully, no one at Gordon's shop was injured. Gordon's collection and other Corvettes were damaged.

        In the video an employee smelled gas right before the explosion.

          What a shame Gary. I heard that on Fox/CNN about over a million in damage were done to Corvettes and a shop. Sad. At least no one at his business was injured. John

            I just saw the video.
            Story: In Sept 1963 I was living in my parents house working on my hot rod with a Corvette engine with 3 twos. There was a gas water heater in the corner of a one car garage. I was using Gunk Carb cleaner not far from the water heater as I was rebuilding the carbs.
            All at once there was an explosion that blew the garage door off. I got burnt but not real bad.
            . But a neighbor was burnt and to this day he has scars on his face.

            My shop and garage has an electric furnace. I worry about fire all the time.
            One more thing. I read too much about battery tenders on cars. It is your business but when I leave my garage and shop I made sure nothing is plugged in that could cause a fire.
            My ultrasonic cleaner has Zip cleaner from Lowes in it. Green in color. Won't burn.
