[Fot] Thunderbolt on TV!

[Bill Dentinger]

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.
