I just watched the Fantom Works program that featured the T-Bolt.

It was great to see that car on TV and hear it run.  I got pretty emotional 
when the family picture of Bob Wismer came on the TV.  

I do need to say that the ?Star? of that program, the garage owner, is a 
complete jerk. (I?m being very polite.  He?s a total douchebag!) They couldn?t 
figure out how to rebuild the gearbox?  They were totally surprised and 
disappointed that the car did not have a TR3 chassis?  Also, the electrical 
fire was obviously staged, who rewires the dash with the battery connected?  I 
think they create this fake conflict to create drama for ratings.  It was a 
great car, built by some of the best restorers around.
