Anybody watch this? Kind of interesting to see the way they have to improvise since they haven't had a good source of parts since the embargo began in 1960. Guess that will all change now.
I came away thinking....don't try this at home!

I watched it again today because it is enjoyable/informative television!

Two of my favorite scenes....painting the car without primer because there wasn't enough time and washing their cars in rainwater puddles by the side of the road!
