Bryan uses a high temp paint that he paints on turbine housings of certain turbos then he uses a hand held torch to cure it. The housing hangs on a hook for this process, after painting he sat the can down, the housing fell off the hook, hit the can and punctured it, at which point it was ignited from the torch and exploded. He has 2nd degree burns on both arms, hands, neck, face....31% of body I believe was the doctors determination. If you dont know anything about 2nd degree burns, in terms of pain they are the worst. They require the same scrub treatment as 3rd degree but you still have all the nerves in the skin which makes the treatment MUCH more painfill than 3rd degree. It is beyond painfull when they scrub your burns every couple days.
He is going to have some delay, however hopefully not too bad. As soon as we can get him out of the house we are taking him to the shop so he can sit there and tell me what to do so we can get his orders filled. Im basically going to be his hands untill he can get back to using them. If you have a order placed, dont freak out just send Bryan a email at BNRsupercars@yahoo.com and he will give updates. He will probably start checking the email and giving updates in a week or so. *If you need to place an order go a head and do it so that he doesnt loose business over this situation, your order will get filled*
Thanks for the concen guys! He really appreciates it,
Stephen

Jonathan told me what happened yesterday and I was devasted to here it. I am glad to know Bryan will be o.k. On the way to Deals Gap Bryan opened his shop for me @ 10:00pm Thursday night and gave me the grand tour I was impressed with his shop and jobs from all over the world. We even did some midnight tuning on my Haltech. Bryan if we can help in any way please let me know.

Hey all.
Thanks for your support. I went through a lot of pain and I am still not out of the hole just yet. I get a bit more movement and flexibility everyday and some parts of my face are clearing up quickly. Bandage changes are terrible. The ones at the hospital were unbearable. The only thing on your mind when you get burned bad is the pain. It is horrible and no word describes it. So the next time you are painting, keep in mind that can in your hand can ignite and mess you up.
.
Take it easy.

Unfortunate things do happen to the good people. I spoke with Bryan for the first time on the phone last week. GREAT guy! Was able to supply me with gaskets that I was having trouble to find. Still haven't received them yet, but I now know why I may not have gotten them yet. Take your time Bryan, no rush. Just get better as soon as you can. I Hope the best of recovery for you!
