- The Superlite GT-R is back from the body shop. Happy to have it home, and only have a few items to complete. Take a look at this silly video and let me know what you think!
Front end is raised (Hydraulics). I left it up after the last ride (need to raise the front to get in the driveway).

I am impressed with the results of your hard labor. Very good build and great paint combination.
Thank you, Frank!
That car with that motor and a pair of turbochargers would be my holy grail vehicle!
Such an amazing kit from SLC, I'm very impressed with your hard work on it.
Enjoy brother you're living the dream😂
🤜🤛
Thanks, Tom!!
It is a nice video. You actually explain that there is a need for a reverse camera.The ride height needs to be raised.I hope you completed building your 2005 Ford GT.👍
The ride height needs to be raised? It looks like a 4x4. It needs to be lowered, especially in the front.....
Looks sweet , I like the engine choice also. Great job.
Thanks!
Looks incredible. This is my favorite color combination for ford GT-R.
Mine too! :)
Following your build for a while. it came out GREAT. A lot of hard work really paid off.
Thanks, Greg!!!
That car looks amazing! Well done.
Thank you!
Beautiful car and I am sure lots of fun
Thanks!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow!!! This is very very nice.
Thank you!
When you coming back with this beauty?
You’re awesome for building it. I mean exquisite 👌
Thank you!!!
I just want to thank you for answering my questions. Very helpful . I was also wondering what length wiper you used ? I have the arm for it but still need to get a wiper. Thank you .
Hi there! My wiper is a 20" variety.
Really nice
Thanks!
😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious with the lawn mower on jack stands lol
Love it,
Enjoy!!!
Thank you!!!!!
I've been on the fence about building this car and would like to see it in person if you still have it. I'm local to the area.
I do still have it. You are welcome to see it in person. I keep it at my office in the warehouse at the moment. You can e-mail me to set up a time if you want. mhampson at xlautomation dot com.
Nice job. Anybody would be happy with that
Thanks!!!
Very nice build ! Would love to see this in person, I’m in Kennesaw. Do you take it to caffeine and octane?
Hi there! Thanks for the compliment. I took it a couple of times early in the year. I'll probably bring it up there again in the next month or two. I look forward to meeting you!
Awesome job Michael would there be anyway I could go for a ride in my dream car?
Of course!
What are the colors? What blue and grey?
What transaxle did you use?
Deep Impact Blue (Ford color). Trying to get the code for the metallic grey - I'll have it later today. The transaxle is a Graziano V10.
Well, not sure about the grey. It is not a manufacturer code. It is MIPA color B7-643-60, I think.
Great job. What latch system are you using on the deck lid? Thanks'
Thanks for the compliment! They are Aerocatch latches on the rear deck lid. aerocatch.com/product/120-2000-above-panel/
Looks great. I wondering where you got your fog light buckets and lenses? Im looking for ones for mine. Thanks for your help
I purchased the buckets from H at H Craft Customs in Buford, GA. hcraftcustoms.com/. I thermoformed the lenses myself. I can sell you a pair when you are ready. I have a very brief description of the process on my blog at gt40s.com: www.gt40s.com/threads/michaels-gt-r-build.53210/page-14#post-583609
Thanks for the info appreciate it .When you mount the buckets is there a trim piece over the fiberglass or is the bucket all on the backside with just the lens on frontside . Hope you are enjoying your day
@@milaart1867 No trim piece. The bucket mounts on the backside of the fender, and the opening in the fender is cut so that about 3/8" of the bucket surface is exposed around the perimeter of the hole (I hope that makes sense). Therefore, the lens mounts on that flange so that it sits flush with the fender surface. I installed four Rivnuts around the perimeter of the bucket and flathead screws on the lens make everything smooooth and flush.
Thanks for the info. Did you run a flyby wire gas pedal ? Have you had any problems with it if you did ?
@@milaart1867 Yes, the Ford Performance Pack (I think it was called) included the ECU, wiring harness (main wiring harness, but not the engine harness), fuse box, clutch switch, fly by wire throttle pedal, etc. I have had absolutely no issues with it.
where to built one like this ? when I have money
amazing build,from an italian you have great taste,how much does it cost to build?
Thanks, Marco!! The kit is around $50K, and then the sky is the limit on how much you want to spend. If you do all the work yourself and keep material costs economical, you can probably assemble a complete car for around $80k. You can easily end up with $150K if you go high-end with running gear and outsourcing for paint & body. That's what I heard, anyway. 😁
@@MountainTopDrive THX👍,i really like your build,i saw many Ford gt replica and most of them lack in interiore design and colors but your car,White Blue with that cockpit and the flat Planet Ford engine.... is exactly how i would make It,so 80 ground + handwork for a build like this?even if the final cost Is 120k Is Still One hell of car,really good job.
Keep It,in the best future in planning to build a kit car and man,i was in love with the ultima rs but this Is a great option,sadly the Ford gt350 Is no more in production and probably this 5.2 Will not be avaible
I love it!!
I want one so bad 😖
(Your license plate says "Autom8" backwards)
Great catch!! And thanks! (My business is in the automation field)
Glad to see you finish. It looks great.
hey this is a dumb question, but I'm 6'5 do you think I would fit in one of those?
Ive been wanting to build a RCR/superlite car but the gt40 I know I dont fit in and I'm not a huge fan of the slc
Hi Tom! I think it would really be a tight fit, but I expect it is doable. I am only 5"10, and I'd say my head is only two or three inches from the roofline. Of course, you can probably recline the seat somewhat, and perhaps customize the seat a bit to get your butt right on the floor. It also depends on where your height is. If you're all legs, then it will work out better. if your height is all in your torso, then it will be a little tighter. You can make it happen for sure. Remember that the GT-40 was only 40" tall (and the GT is 42"), and Dan Gurney was 6'4"! Lastly, I'd say a pre-purchase requirement would be to visit the shop, meet Fran, and see for yourself. Good luck!!!
@@MountainTopDrive hey thanks for the quick reply!
roughly how many hours did it take to build the car?
also looks like im in your neck of the woods, how hard was it to registeR?
@@toml1446 I have no idea on hours. I worked on it for two years, but only averaged an hour or so a day. There were days where I worked for 6-8 hours on it, but sometimes a few days or more would pass without any work. I'd say 1000 hours as a guess. You can put as many hours as you want into it.
It wasn't hard to register. I think there are some options here, but my choice was to register it as a 2019 Superlite GT-R. First, you have to get it inspected to ensure it is roadworthy. You can do this through the state, or an independent inspector. I did a local inspector in Marietta, GA. This will allow you to title it. Then, I sent an e-mail to the Georgia Clean Air Force requesting an exemption for a "component car". This was approved in a matter of days. Then I had to do emissions. This is what happens when it is registered as a post-1993 vehicle. But, because of the exemption, you don't have to meet all of the emissions requirements of a newer car. After emissions, I was able to register it and get my tag. Now I have to do the emissions game every year. It's a PIA, but not too bad.
Where did you get the center console?
"H" Smith at H Craft Customs in Buford, GA.
@@MountainTopDrive thank you! I reached out to them but no response
How about a 1yr update
I will work on that! :)
Are you interested in selling at all?
Yes, I am going to move onto my next project sometime this spring and will likely be selling it. I enjoy the build more than the ownership!
How much hp does it produce?
The engine is rated to 580HP, but with the tune I have in it, it was putting down around 450 to the wheels.
@@MountainTopDrive to the crank around 520 like the gt350,do you think this engine can really push to 580hp?
@@MountainTopDrive we need a new video video update :D
@@MARCO-rq2ph Dunno. That's what is listed on the Ford Performance specs. I don't really have a way to test and don't know enough to assume anything less. :)
@@MARCO-rq2ph I know!!
Those motors are stupid expensive.
True, though I paid about $8K less than that. It would be cheaper to put an LS in it, but I wanted a Ford!
@@MountainTopDrive Good choice! 👍
Sits so high in the front 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah, it has hydraulics in the front, and I left them up from the last time I entered the driveway!
What size rims?
They are 19x9.5 in the front and 20x12 in the rear.
Love it but the front wheel/fender gaps bother me.
They front hydraulics are raised, so it looks a little weird.
