You don’t watch anything Larko does for Supercars? It’s kinda hard for Supercars to show us the build of a car, because ya know, they don’t run a team/build cars...
You know closing up the paddock & the pit area for racing fans is something that does the sport no good . There is a proportion of fans that want to know what’s happening with the cars. These days you don’t get the chance . Also V8 Supercars don’t really want you to know that a Ford Mustang began its life as a Nissan Ultima.
Beagle76 - to be fair, if you don’t know that COTF is based upon a unique chassis by this point, no amount of paddock access is going to give you that. Also, no amount of paddock access on race weekends is going to give you anywhere near the info that this build series is giving us. How are Supercars supposed to replicate this as per the original complain?? They don’t build cars!
Chris Kelly Even when Larry began winning Bathurst in 93 I think, you could get near the cars & see what made them tick. There was a period around 2000 where everything under the bonnet was hidden. The whole show has withdrawn into pit enclosures for most races. That’s my point. This is 1st class, Todd is giving a lot of interesting information.I am a bit of purist . I grew up getting close to these cars. Larko’s stuff is very interesting as is Crompton’s commentary. I admit I have only been to Sandown recently.
Wow Todd, I take my hat off to you guys. To basically start from scratch with plenty of unknowns and the associated costs that go with takes plenty of guts. I love this video series and keep up the great work!!
Kudos to all at Kelly Racing for having the foresight to produce and share such fascinating insights into the fabrication journey you are on. Good luck with it all, and keep these episodes coming - they are just awesome!
Gee, what a bloody ripper Channel. 👍👍 The mind boggles with the total amount of work/engineering that completes a Super Car. Thank you Kelly Brothers 🤗👍👌
@ Jay Rielly...R & D would be the most expensive process, after final testing is completed, the parts will be fairly cheap to manufacture. A lot cheaper than consistantly buy "off the shelf" parts.
@ Symo S...That's the whole idea, a "piddly" 650HP engine will last a lot longer than an 850HP engine, which would be lucky to finish a sprint round let alone an enduro.
Seriously great content. I'm a ford fan but always loved Kelly racing's professionalism. This is amazing behind the scenes stuff and every supercars fan should watch this. Thank you
In all the years i have watched the V8's this would have to be the best "documentary" information video i have ever seen. FYI personnaly was not a Kelly Racign fan before but these vids have changed my tune. Great stuff. Thanks
Never new how much development goes into a brand new Ford car. Loving this and thanks to the Kelly development team for letting us in. Good luck with the construction of your Mustang
You keep the fans well informed and you've prioritised nurturing young talent as well as done your best to attract and maintain new manufacturers. What a superb outfit, everything that Supercars should be.
This series is amazing! Thank you so so much for literally breaking it down step by step!!! Love seeing how the stangs are built!!! Bring on 2020!!!! Can’t wait to see you boys behind the Ford Mustangs :) xxxx
Thank you Todd for your very informative series from the Altima days to now with your Mustang development. Wishing you every success and I look forward to your team’s progress and success during 2020 and beyond.
Just love what you guys are doing here. A real look behind the scenes of what brings a racecar to life. As a machinist by Trade, I naturally take a bit of an interest in that billet stuff and it's just beautiful. But I'm blown away by the quality of the work by the fabricators. Those welds are perfect. Real craftsman at work. Keep the episodes coming. Cheers.
Keep em coming boys. Cant wait till we see 'The Stang' completed . Hopefully when u guys get the engine on the Dyno u will show it. The mind boggles at the CNC machines. The finished component, compared to the block of Aluminum/Steel they start with is phenomenal. I could stand there all day and watch this symphony of drills & assorted bits carve out this pieces of art. .🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👌👌👌
Lookin good Todd, what 10- 12kgs off... well done From race fans to engineering geeks, thanks for taking the time to show us inside a very private and secretive world..
Thanks Todd for sharing so much info It's awsome that you are running Mustangs and even better that you are building your own engines I will be following you guys enthusiastically in 2020 The build is awesome Can't wait for test dy at the Bend
What a massive undertaking. After years of barracking against KR in commodores, and feeling sorry for you in the Ultimas, I think it’s about time I get onboard TKR. Huge effort to stay the course. Good luck 😉
Thanks for showing so much behind the scenes!! Seemed nice and personal in house produced. Love your work👍🏻🤓😎 Yeah that was totally awesome... New subscriber 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀
Must admit I wasn't a Kelly racing fan too much, but after seeing behind the scenes with some of the Nissan stuff and now with the entire Mustang build without hiding all the details, I'm coming around.
Wow I would have never imagined that its so much individual work building a Mustang Supercar. Thought you get more parts from Ford ready to bolt on. Thanks for sharing.
Great video series. So with all V8 engines having to make the same hp, I'm surprised you guys are designing your own. What are the advantages in doing this, rather than going to one of the other suppliers?
A question I've always had is why isn't the Firewall and the floor above the exhaust double skinned for better heat management? Surely that would give an advantage on those really hot racedays?
Wow , I'm really getting an insight into why the Supercar event tickets are so expensive... those milling machines look mighty pricey. Can't wait for the dyno runs though that should be a fun one.
As a lifelong "gearhead" I really enjoy the tech. Is it really less expensive to machine a large billet sump than to weld it? I guess the labor costs would be fairly high. Cheers.
Seems like a lot of money is spent on basically one off custom parts to make although reliable but mere 650hp. Surely this can be achieved with off the shelf heads, intake and pistons across the category for a fraction of the cost.
Good work loving the vids and the workmanship thats being put out in both the video's and cars. But Wow supercars have it so backwards :o for what is a full chassi car that could of just had the body hung on it with simple brackets instead they make you use old pre project blueprint methods of building the car that were done to be cheaper back then no wounder supercars cost is out of control that's just crazy like 3 weeks to hang the body on the car which would just take couple of days at most.
im glad someone is taking us behind the scenes because supercars lacks that big time.
Appreciate this comment.
This is a huge reason why I watch a lot more of WTAC and F1.
Bit of a shame really since this is Australia's motorsport.

Absolutely fantastic to watch and very informative. Thank you Kelly Racing.
It's so rare to see in-depth behind-the-scenes footage like this. It's the most interesting aspect of the sport and yet you almost never see it.
Wow Todd, I take my hat off to you guys. To basically start from scratch with plenty of unknowns and the associated costs that go with takes plenty of guts. I love this video series and keep up the great work!!
Loving sharing this journey with you Gays & Gals!
I wish Kelly Racing every success!

Can't wait to see it on the Grid in 2020
Jay Rielly for the money they should have their true 850HP to justify the investment. Not the piddly 650

Really enjoying the effort you guys are doing in bringing this to the masses. It really is much appreciated and welcome to the Blue Oval family.
Respect! What a massive undertaking. Hope you guys kill it next year!
Fantastic insight to the work that goes into building a Supercar. Thanks Todd and the team for taking us along for the journey to Mustang 🙏

Unreal, I truly hope Kelly Racing kicks Butt in 2020. Has to be the best down to earth team out there.

Ps welcome to Ford and good luck.
Love seeing all this come together. Great Job Kelly Racing.
Awesome ..didn't realise you had so much input into it and so much fabrication..new fan of RK
Just love what you guys are doing here.
A real look behind the scenes of what brings a racecar to life.
As a machinist by Trade, I naturally take a bit of an interest in that billet stuff and it's just beautiful.
But I'm blown away by the quality of the work by the fabricators. Those welds are perfect.
Real craftsman at work.
Keep the episodes coming. Cheers.
Very cool video series. You'll pick up a few supporters through sharing this look behind the workshop doors.
These vids (Part 1 & 2) are great. Thanks to Kelly Racing for the behind the scenes look at the preparation work. And good luck for 2020.
Keep em coming boys. Cant wait till we see 'The Stang' completed . Hopefully when u guys get the engine on the Dyno u will show it. The mind boggles at the CNC machines. The finished component, compared to the block of Aluminum/Steel they start with is phenomenal.

Lookin good Todd, what 10- 12kgs off... well done
From race fans to engineering geeks, thanks for taking the time to show us inside a very private and secretive world..
Always great to see the machine shop in action,
Wow those machined parts look amazing. The Castrol livery looks cool as.
A true Aussie workshop icon ..... the Safety Step (milk crate) at 11.54. Super informative videos...well done and good luck for 2020.
Awesome video series, keep up the great work and looking forward to watching more from the series.
Looking good gents, can't wait to see the finished product! Keep up the awesome work

Thanks Kelly Racing, this has been so informative. Welcome to the fold. I can’t wait til next season..
Loving the insights 👍
thanks for making the videos please keep it up motorsport enthusiasts love to see this awesome thanks
What a massive undertaking. After years of barracking against KR in commodores, and feeling sorry for you in the Ultimas, I think it’s about time I get onboard TKR. Huge effort to stay the course. Good luck 😉
Wishing you all the best! I hope it's fast out of the box and puts it to those big other teams!
Another quality behind the scenes vid love your work guys and girls cant wait for the next
Love this series already, thanks for showing us!
Really enjoying these episodes. Gives a real insight into how it all comes together, Great work guys.
Keep them coming Todd, it’s great to see how much work is going into making next year’s Championship car
Thanks for the insight. Really interesting to see all the work being done behind the scenes. Exited to see KR on the grid next year. 👍
Great videos! Thanks for taking the time.
This is sensational to see the nity gritty of building a great race car thanks again guys love the video so from all here to all there Melbourne
Nice work. Shame I have not seen this earlier. Great content.
Thanks for showing so much behind the scenes!!
Seemed nice and personal in house produced.
Love your work👍🏻🤓😎
Yeah that was totally awesome...
New subscriber 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀
Interesting stuff. Looking forward to the next one.
Must admit I wasn't a Kelly racing fan too much, but after seeing behind the scenes with some of the Nissan stuff and now with the entire Mustang build without hiding all the details, I'm coming around.
Can't wait to see the progress.
Excellent stuff very best of luck
Thanks for the great content Kelly Racing 👍
Great videos, very cool insight. I’ll be supporting your team for sure next year 👍
when is part 3 coming out guys , looking forward to seeing my new ford team going ahead
Cool stuff thanks for the insight guys..
Great videos thanks. You guys should use the Lang Technik Work Holding. Save you a ton on material.
Wow I would have never imagined that its so much individual work building a Mustang Supercar. Thought you get more parts from Ford ready to bolt on. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the KR mustang hitting the grid....going to be cheering you on...go Ford. Paul
A thx for showing us around 😁
Love following the journey, I'm subscribed. Can't wait for the next episode now :)
Great work awesome to watch.
Another great video, would be great for a weekly vlog
this video series is great, keep em coming
good luck mate on new season my ford bring you good luck
wonderful insight and Todd is quite knowledgeable for an owner and more so for an ex diver
Top notch machine shop!
Great video series. So with all V8 engines having to make the same hp, I'm surprised you guys are designing your own. What are the advantages in doing this, rather than going to one of the other suppliers?
Another awesome vid guys. Love the channel
Absolutely fantastic !
A question I've always had is why isn't the Firewall and the floor above the exhaust double skinned for better heat management? Surely that would give an advantage on those really hot racedays?
Wow , I'm really getting an insight into why the Supercar event tickets are so expensive... those milling machines look mighty pricey. Can't wait for the dyno runs though that should be a fun one.

It is wonderful to see the car taking shape .... have the crews been picking names for their new babies yet ?
Great video Todd , mint 👌
Seems like a lot of money is spent on basically one off custom parts to make although reliable but mere 650hp. Surely this can be achieved with off the shelf heads, intake and pistons across the category for a fraction of the cost.
Great video
Love this stuff! Spot on, great video
Didn’t know they had all the factory inner panels I thought they were space frame with a carbon body on top like a sports sedan.
Gotta ask , I know 888 sell chassis and race engines , do DJR or Tickford do the same ? Save you a heap of work.
Loving the videos,thanks
Amazing videos
Was the engine one of the main reasons for switching manufactures?
Good work loving the vids and the workmanship thats being put out in both the video's and cars. But Wow supercars have it so backwards :o for what is a full chassi car that could of just had the body hung on it with simple brackets instead they make you use old pre project blueprint methods of building the car that were done to be cheaper back then no wounder supercars cost is out of control that's just crazy like 3 weeks to hang the body on the car which would just take couple of days at most.
Love these vids ...keep em coming.
Australia is in good hands with fine young men like these.
