    Yep, and as I'll be building one for my project too, I learned a ton of important little design issues with it.

    This was the longest episode they've done so far and yet it just flew by......at this rate I can see this project easily taking another 2 years to finish. They still have to refurbish the engine, trans, rear diff and suspension, build an intake and turbo system/wastegate/exhaust manifold etc, build a dashboard, instruments, interior, paint the whole car, and wire it up - massive amounts of work yet even if they sub some of it out.....which I expect they will do with the paint and interior at least.

    Wonder what the real time frame is from day one to what we just saw?

    They have over two years in it now so unless a lot of work has been completed and just needs installed they still have a long ways to go. As Minidave says it could go another couple of years.
