Your take is pretty comman amongst the Tbolt Fold.  I cut the FantomWorks Host 
some slack, thinking...that's just 'business'.  His comments concerning the car 
as a race car seemed reasonably even handed. I do not think he favored the 
conversion. I was not put off by his comments on wiring or fuel lines.  The car 
got a complete go-over between events.  We never had a fire.

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.

FOTers,

If you have TV service that gets the Velocity channel, look for the episode of 
FantomWorks that aired a new episode last night.
It is episode number 57 and is titled "Busted Knuckle".

Within the first 5 minutes you will be introduced to the very rare and famous 
TR powered Thunderbolt owned and raced by our very own Bob Wismer and Bill 
Dentinger.  In fact, you will see one of his daughters and her husband that now 
own it.  I've had the privilege of being on track with that voluptuous car many 
times over the years.

Sandy wasnt here to watch it with me so I'm saving it for later today when we 
are both available.
