One of the challenges was, in fact, to turn a new VW Beetle into an
amphicar- They're given the car and a budget- about $2,000? to build a
transformer. In this case, they succedded but just barely, ol' Jesse James'
feet were pretty wet by the time he made it back to dry land.

That $2000 budget is pretty bogus. I watched an episode where they
converted a limo to a fire truck. After converting it spending under $2000
(not counting all the freebies) their painter came in and layed on a $3000
paint job (all off budget, mind you).
JYW, on the other hand will "stock" the yard with stratigic items I've
never seen in a junk yart nor would I expect to see in a junk yard. But
still a lot of fun.
