They will still air the stuff they filmed already in 2025, but wont be producing any new content. They will still produce their magazine and events, its just the TV production that is stopping. It sucks, so many good shows, but glad they got their youtube channels.
As you know, Phil, getting things to car-show quality takes a lot of work, effort, time, and money. Hopefully you can get it looking "good enough," and just enjoy having it, and driving it. It looks pretty nice in the pictures and video.
Last night Alex Taylor said that nearly all of them have something set up already that they are going to. She said most of them just aren't saying anything about it.

I have a second set of 77's, 2 or 3 sets of 7s, and a pair 11's in the garage (sans woofers since they're in the other set of 77's).
I recently upgraded parts of my system to get to a 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos setup with a 65" Samsung QLED sceeen. I think every part of it (other than speaker wire, cables, etc.) was eBay, Best Buy open box, refurb-ed, on sale, or Goodwill finds. I have less in this entire setup then I've seen some people spend on speakers, but it sounds great to me.

Dayton Audio makes some very good replacement/upgrade parts. That's a key component to what you did, for sure!
I'm hoping to get the Nakamichi amp in tonight. One of my struggles has been dealing with "slope". My new Kenwood deck puts slope on the output, no matter when. I can turn it down to -6db. My Pioneer amp does the same damn thing. So, I'm stuck with -12db of slope. I really don't like the way slope sounds, personally. I grew up listening to music without it so it doesn't sound right to me.
In fact, if I think if I don't like it at -6db, I might get a different deck.

Thanks guys, the car is still nice, just cracked around the rear bumpers and the rear spoiler.
I frame off restored the car 11 years ago and it was darn near perfect.
It was appraised @70K in 2013 when the restoration was completed.
Now 11 years and 1k miles I get this back from my uncle.
Rear bumpers where they meet the body.
And the cracks along the rear spoiler.
You can tell how long they are by the floor in the pics.
And the big chip in the paint on the convertible deck from the hardtop.
The engine seems way down on power and now I am concerned he did not use high zinc oil in it and the camshaft is worn down.
I got on it yesterday and it could barely chirp the tires.
When I sent it down it would literally smoke them in 1st and 2nd gear effortlessly.

Fresh fuel ...plugs..timing... ? You're going to go through it I imagine.
