Finally !! ....a practical use for all those old crack knife blades I've got hanging around. (23:22)

Anyone want to guess how many hours it took for the exhaust?

Forget about the fuel tank....what tool/s did he use for his haircut?????
Sounded like a cross between an angle grinder and a sawzall.

How many hours did he spend making that wheel fabricator jig? - no wonder the episodes are so long in coming.

Can't imagine a voluntary retirement will happen for these guys. They seem too good at and too absorbed in what they are doing.

Brilliant execution. Not only because of the car, but how they produce the show.

I just watched the first episode, these guys are great. The fabricator is a brilliant guy. I love the subtle humor too.

Great episode but are we OK with flexible brake lines?

I would have gone with hard lines on the body.
