It's amazing to me these guys seek out revival challenges such as this one, within extreme cold weather. They're definitely committed to their craft! These guys trust their wisdom and their experience. They obviously enjoy bringing things back to life. Their fascination with "car culture" is intriguing, which makes me want to watch. They're making money doing what they love. They're teaching their broader audience about their passion. It's rather inspiring, actually. Well done guys!
