Nice car! I'm glad you caught the fire before it caused damage!
I have problems with chipmunks. The ate through a vacuum hose on my Dodge van, ate the main engine wiring harness on my Tundra, stuffed my lawn vacuum engine so full of nuts that it wouldn't turn over, and just this week when I took the housing off of my 911 engine I found roasted hickory nuts on the cylinders, courtesy of the little buggers. There were nuts on the oil cooler too.
