[Fot] Thunderbolt on TV!

 "repeatedly tests brakes after they work on them, by going really fast in a straight line then standing on the brake peddle and locking all four wheels for a very long skid."


 As an ex-airdale (USN aviation related), I worked on a flight line crew, and I'm absolutely convinced that he was one of those pilots who had the habit of landing with the friggin' brakes on, causing much extra work for the plane captain and airframes shop...
Yeah that guy!

I caught the program the other night.  
I totally agree with you Steve...douchebag!
It's the only T.V. hyped restoration shop that repeatedly tests brakes after they work on them, by going really fast in a straight line then standing on the brake peddle and locking all four wheels for a very long skid.  If it were my car, I'd be very pissed and demand a new set of tires.
Total douchebags.  
Thankfully, you have spelled douchebags correctly.  Spellcheck didn't apply.
The other douchebag program is, speed is the new black.  Capitals for the title should not apply.  I don't know where they find these guys.
Lucky for them, there are many with deep pockets that don't know the difference.

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.
