Michael, great job on the car! Looks and sounds amazing. Good job on the video as well. Looking forward to seeing it painted although the white still looks darn good.
I appreciate the compliment, Scott! Paint is nearly complete, though it has been FOREVER getting it done. I'll put together an update when I get it back from paint.
Although I only worked on it a little on the weekends and evenings, I was very consistent and never took any time off, etc. So it was slow but steady. I also had H Smith nearby to lend advice. Are you on the gt40s.com forum? My car is on there detailing the build. So I have proof :) You have a Superlite as well? Tell me about it!
@@superlitepilot5506 Cool! I'll PM you on GT40s if that's OK. No phone numbers on a public chat! I'm on vacation in Cabo right now - about to head to "El Arco". What's your gt40s id/handle/whatever? I'll contact you later.
@@MountainTopDrive BTW, I am just starting an RCR GT40. I am in SoCal and found a great interiors shop. Right now, I am looking for someone to do the LS3 to Porsche transaxle work. The suspension parts are like jewelry.
Louder than you wanted it!!!!????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The thing sounds like a sewing machine. 🤣😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd want that ILLUMINATOR beating the ground. But,....that's just me.
@@MountainTopDrive I imagine my story is similar to yours, you just got to the “finish line” first. It is the perfect choice for all-in-one Dream Car. I’m OTP, so I’ll be one of the grinning idiots if I happen to pass you!
Thanks! The shifter is made by Superlite (same as the car). It's a little bulky but does look pretty cool. The transmission is a Graziano V10 (used in Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo)
Are those the Ford GT gages from speedhut, or just their standard gages? I'm curious if/how you got their Ford GT set to work without the factory computer. They told me it couldn't work
They are just standard gauges but bought as a set specific to this kit. i.e. the Speedometer has a little "GT-R" printed on it. But as far as the connections to sensors, etc., they are generic.
Yes, I hate that!! When I get it back, I am going to design and install roll-up windows. They will still be acrylic and not glass, but it will be a huge improvement. This is a major undertaking but is doable.
@@MountainTopDrive Uh , no plexy ! Lexan will be better choice . Try to find a work shop that they could bend the windows plus install scratch proof folly !
@@crnogor Got it. I never can remember the difference between the two. Polycarbonate, right? I will have to have the plastic bent. The windows are a constant 4' radius. I think I know someone that can bend it for me.
@@MountainTopDrive Yes . polycarbonate . Be picky on be there on the shop all the time cos they hawe to do right for you ! Must not be any damage from heat on the surface ! , nice and clear !
Congrats dude! Looks good.

Superlite GTR is a replica of the 2005 Ford GT. It looks good alot of hard work and you must have an automotive mechanic with knowledge.
No it's not. It's a replica of the les man car
@giovannebeistline2575 it's a mix. Mostly made to look like the modern gt from 2005
@@AIIen-u they took molds of the les man car and the interior is superlites take on the ford gt.
@giovannebeistline2575 I thought you were talking about the 1969 lemans gt40
Good on keeping a responsible emission system. You CAN have your cake and it it
Yeah, I thought that was important. We don't live in the 60's anymore.
Congratulations! What a dream come true.
Thank you!
Great job on the GTR build! Congrats on getting to the 1 yard line!
Thanks, Joel!!! It is at the paint shop now, in Marietta GA.
Boy, are you going to love that car!
Indeed!
Great job. I’m saving up for mine. I’m super excited.
Thanks! Good luck!
Well done Michael!
Thank you so much! When I am done with this one, I think I may build another.
Amazing. You should send this in to the makers of Gran Turismo!
thats a great build mate. Enjoy
Thanks for the compliment!
I’m considering one of these
Go for it!
Stunning. Well done indeed.
Thank you, Simon!
EXTRA MODEL ..Great job.
Thanks!
Good job MIke... Building this car in less than 3 years is really unheard of. Have you built an RCR before? If not then I find it hard to believe.

Well thank you very much, sir!

It looks and SOUNDS the business!
Thanks! I can't wait to get it back from the paint shop!
Within 10 secs of watching this video I feel like my financial future is in danger lol
Yeah, I am experiencing that right now!

Hyundai. Not fancy enough to use Kia parts! 😂
Awesome video thanks for making the videos
Thanks!
is there some 'tubing' supposed to be hooked on that large aluminum 'air- box' to capture fresh air from both rear side scoops.vents..??
'yes' there is. Next on the list!

Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧. Great build, how many hours have you invested in the car?
I don't know. I started out trying to track my time but gave up pretty quickly. I'd say a good 500-700 hours, though.
I seen one just like yours at the concourse at château elan or was that you?
No, that was not mine. Haven't been up there yet.
@@MountainTopDrive I’m also thinking about building one
Awesome job!
Thanks!
my dream project
It was mine too!
Wow 😳
Amazing
Thanks so much!

Well,....if nothing else,...that interior is, ....um,.....interesting. Different for sure.
Total cost minus labor?
I'll have around150 in it before I am done.
I wish Superlite would make a replica 2005 GT40 complete interior.
Yeah, that would be nice. H Smith in Buford, GA will sell you most everything though. Center console, door panels, etc.
@@MountainTopDrive do they sell GT40 replica stuff?
@@walk4348 Ford GT (2005-2007) yes, but GT40 no.
@@MountainTopDrive will the GT dash fit the GT40?
@@walk4348 I don't expect so. I think the GT dash is wider.
