from what I gathered talking to Kurt is that half the guys if not all wouldn't want to work with the same guy incharge of the first car at this point. And what I gathered is that most of them are still doing their part to keep the cars that exist running especially the mokery made with the broken display panel car (I forgot which one it is).
Honestly from the first pictures I saw I didn't think the car was that amazing but getting to see Kurt's sitting there in his garage I have to say I found a new appreciation for it. It really is something else once you see it in person.
I thought I recognized the house in those pictures especially the sled trailer in the background
