    I just caught it on YouTube. Once again the work is over the top and the problem solving is fantastic.

    Ooooo I can't wait. Whatya think they'll cover this time? Not counting all the body work needed, is it going to be when they finally install the engine and fire it up?

    Based on what they posted on their Facebook page, they completely re-engineered the front suspension and mounts yet again. My guess is that they may have had to re-engineer the steering rack and it's mount too.....

    I'm thinking they may not have made a lot of overall progress.

    I also wonder what those arches are going to look like, considering the entire tire is out from under the fenders....

    What time is 8pm GMT to us in the central time zone, 11 am or noon?

    Right now, it is 6 hours difference between GMT and CST. So, 20:00 there is 14:00 Central.

    It's out!

    I enjoyed it, the boys did some good figuring stuff out and overcoming big challenges (and I didn't fall asleep during the math part!). They are stuck with some tough problems, but they solve all of them in style.

    But I think they are getting tired - their typical humor seemed to miss a bit this episode IMO.

    I wonder in real time how many hours they have up to this point. I don't

    think I have enough fingers and toes to count, but it is sure enjoyable to

    watch.
