Why Does This S**T Happen To ME!!!!!

I finally got the engine cranked the Barracuda I've be restoring, and even took it down the road for a test drive! When I got back and was pulling it back in the garage it stalled and before I could restart it I noticed some smoke coming out from under the hood. At first I thought it was some residual stuff burning but the smoke was getting worse and figured something was on fire, so as I went pop the hood I noticed the black lip of the hood had become recessed below the cowl (probably bowing from the heat). I knew if I open the hood it would bind, but I figured that bent hood was better then the whole car burning up! So open I did and I found the complete air cleaner up in flames! I got the fire extinguisher out and to put it out and what a mess! Well I thought I was almost ready but it looks like I have some more work to do! ANYONE GOT AN EXTRA HOOD?:-?
