These guys need a show on discovery so I can series link it then watch them all in one day at the end, so painful waiting months for the next video but it's worth it at the same time.

Currently on episode 9, only started watching this today (or maybe it was yesterday I can't remember)

The wife in the earlier episode was quite tasty as well

Great fabrication and I like how he wants to keep it all under as much of the body as possible.

I thought it was pretty good, they just didn't get much done in it. Amazing amount of work has gone in to that one item. I wonder if they will paint the inside of the heater unit?

The wipers were fantastic though and the braket they made for it was sooooo clever. I just love the way that nothing is impossible to them and they didn't even use very sophisticated tools.

I think they should have started making it all on cnc so that they could knock out turn key mini's at that spec for people to buy.

If the finished car ever goes to a show I know that I could just look at it for hours.

I think the works fantastic, the only problem I see is the GT4 is now even more outdated. I would love the skill set they have and had no issue watching an episode on wipers! Just hope they do finish it. As said above I'd love a look over it at the work done knowing what can't be seen also

Yeah, I think it was originally budget related and the fact he had one but a nearly brand new donor would have been better.

It is just awe inspiring what those guys put in to a simple little bracket. They are so clever how they use a tool to make something that the tool would not normally be used for as well. I would love to have them build a car for me to that level of design and detail.
