Thanks so much for the support guys. I greatly appreciate it.
Does anyone have a harness and or a fuse panel for sale? I will also need a fuel tank.
The fuse panel was hit on the left side and the thick wiring harness above it was too. The right side along with the computers were not touched at all. I jumped the windows to get them back up as I had them down initially. I disconnected the fuel lines and plugged them. I tried to key on just to see what would work and the dash lights went on as well as the radio and center console lights. That was a good sign. I pulled the battery right after that as I don't want to push my luck with faulty wiring shorting anything else out. How involved is the harness/fuse panel to change out? Does Wayne live around here?
Thanks again

The fuel tank will probably get back into shape when you fill it up completely with gas. If not, it can be popped out with compressed air. If it was folded in all the way there might be cracks in the tank, but chances are it´s still okay to use. You will need to find out why the tank doesn´t vent. There are enough threads on this to get you started. It is probable that the charcoal cannister assembly under the right front fender is not venting the way it should.
Did you find out what caused the fire? Was it fuel/oil or electrical?
