Jim, that had to be the finest example I've ever seen. There's more heart in that car than any other GT.
For a replica, it sounds good, but does not sound just like the track race car.
Dont forget Ken Miles with his love for the car
I just was at paddy's markets tonight and saw the GT first hand and spent an age looking over it and had a chat to Jim’s partner about it.
A fantastic showcase for craftsmanship. Absolutely loved it.
the sound is intoxicating, the body work is really incredible. Aluminium !! Amazing work Jim. A beautiful car, and you drive the nuts off it too!!! AWSOME!!
Love the almost rat rod look to it, probably the coolest most badass version of the GT40 I have seen.
Huh?
That exhaust note will be my first born son's lullaby
I agree the crew have done an awesome job. Thanks guys it was a great day.
Brilliant car, if you are going to hand build a car may aswell build the best
I love seeing people in their element of their passion and especially speaking of it... There is something extra specially about a person of the trades being able to create something from nothing though... Kudos and hats off! This is a sublime effort and mammoth undertaking. The will power to see it through speaks volumes.
Allen Millyard videos.
That tone is mesmerizing
Aesthetically this is the best I've seen out of all the GTs. Amazing!
that shot at 7:41 when its behind the falcon, realy makes you realise how low they are
Incredible craftsmanship sir. Beautiful.
Well done video guys! You really captured the story and passion behind this car. I'm an old school DIY modifier myself and love seeing these kinds of stories. Most people just don't believe the kind of passion it takes to build a car of this calibre. Serious respect for the owner.
I've seen the car many times around Sydney events and Nulon Nationals. Thanks so much for giving us the story behind it.
7:54 "They weren't perfect ya know....I see little imperfections..." 8:28 "It turned out perfect". 😁
Perfectly imperfect.

Grants on thew video Jim truly gives perspective on your efforts and passion. That crossover exhaust on a V8 can't be beaten. WOW.
Simply fabulous work Jim... You're a true master craftsman! Oh and that spin-out on the video - like I used to tell my students back when I was still instructing "Sometimes you don't know just where 10 tenths is until you've been to 11 tenths"... Glad that the momentum of the car bled off through the gravel trap and assume that there was no contact with the tire wall..
This Guy work and skills is so under rated .......pure talent .
_Jim, l too was an Architect from 19 to 24!_
Then in '85, got the break of a Lifetime when David Jones introduced me to Lindsay Fox....for 12 months l restored and Presented to Concours standard 4 different marques ( 4 outright highest points )
Porsche 356, Rolls Royce, Mercedes and VW......
Bryan Tanti moved into the space after l decided to pursue new challenges!
My meeting with Brian at Hawthorn Rd Caulfield years after l departed, left me with some understanding of the mind of an Artist! You and Brian share many traits, and that makes both you guys AMA2!NG in your own sweet ways!!
Thanks
A beautiful exotic one a kind car built with pure passion and thrilling excitement good job jim and a beautiful sound!
Great feature guys! Captured the story really well.
I've passed this car a couple of times while driving on the Old Pac Hwy. It is good that he didn't paint it and left it in raw aluminium - makes it unique and really stand out from the other GT40 replicas.
This is a movie worthy monster! Beautiful , organic, amazing.
This guy is my hero. What a stud.
The metal work S superb. Carroll Shelby would be proud.
Yep :-)
Absolutely incredible. Genius Work!!! Bravo!!!
I am glad it wasn't painted, it looks awesome!
must be stainless steel?

Geez you make me envious. It would be awesome to know how to do the things you do. The car is bloody brilliant.
Wow, just wow
Awesome video, hope you plan on making more.
It's a series. Three videos per month. Subscribe and see them all.
Top job!!
I have to have one of these... I just have to have one. I'm obsessed with them.
Mine will lean a little more into the restomod category, with a modern drive train and brakes etc. Because I plan to use it all the time, it'll be a road car.
I'll probably order a CAV GT+ and have most of it built at the factory for me. I have some skills, but nothing like this guy.
Imagine the pride one would feel driving a creation like that. Pheewww!!!
The shot at 8:40 is amazing. Congrats
That sound is incredible….
That's the best sounding GT 40 I have ever heard.
Every single GT 40 is a masterpiece and this one is not the exception.
This guy is a Legend!
Brilliantly beautiful
Masterpiece!
Good job man...

Not really a car I like but all those countless hours of work on it and then he goes out and race it hard, that's just awesome!
Badass!
What caught my attention hand made wheels and suspension
Throttle body & linkage, suspension, too. Original GT - 40 had steel body & fiberglass bonnet and boot.
