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.
