I don't know if you still see these comments but I've just watched this and WOW you're dad is an incredibly talented man! Thanks for sharing, I hope he's still enjoyed the beauty!
I really enjoyed watching this vid and all 3 parts from start to finish. Incredible to see all the hard work that went into this and such a real beauty in blue! I hope it gave many hours of pleasure driving something that you know inside out. 👍
Wow, from nuts and bolts into THAT. Truly AMAZING. That v8 sound is sooo awesome. Congrats on finishing and owning one of the most beautiful cars ever created :)
bless you for documenting this build. My son and I have been dreaming together about building our own GT40 replica. Thank you for spending the time to shoot and edit the footage.
I watched all three videos from start to finish, it was only about half an hour but I know the time invested was so much more. I admire your expertise and determination, you've created a genuine work of art. Thank you so much for sharing your work(and some of the fun), do exercise caution and always respect your "Living Breathing Baby". God Bless.
I have to have one of these... I'm obsessed with them, I just have to have one. I'm planning to order a CAV GT+, having most of it assembled at the factory and then finished at Renner Auto in Melbourne Australia. I've got some skills, but not on this guy's level. I also really want something very much on the restomod side of things, with all up to date running gear/suspension/brakes, a well insulated and trimmed cabin and (crucially) the doors need to open vertically; because I plan to use it all the time. Plus, those guys are just so good at it now, it's worth the expense for the quality and ease of registration. Fingers crossed I'll be looking at mine within the next 18 months or so. There's a GT40 shaped hole in my life that need to be filled.
Amazing job you must be proud of your dad seems like a great guy..would would be the total cost for turn key version or completed minus the engine and the transmission? thank you.
You can see more of my dad's work on this video, building another classic car (before the GT40 build), the Jaguar XKSS - th-cam.com/video/fsQNZVP0mK4/w-d-xo.html
Im wondering what flywheel he used on the 302 engine? I would think he continued using the rover pressure plate assembly . But if you could tell me it would be very helpfull. Thanks
@@thatguy83ful Hi Thanks for your interest . I used a Porsche G50 gearbox and bell housing running inverted which is capable of taking the power of the 302 V8 ( around 400 BHP with upgraded heads and fuel injection.) I sourced the complete flywheel and adapter plate from Kennedy Engineering in the USA , and fitted a geared starter motor . The system has proved very successful over many " launch control " starts , continental journeys , sprints and hill climbs .
Thanks for the quick reply. Thats exactly what i needed to know. Is your father on gt40s.com website? If not you should set him up an account. He has a wealth of knowledge. I was tryn to decide to go with kennedys kit or fabricate the same way your dad did for the v6 engine. Except i would have to weld the porsche flywheel mounting holes shut and redrill etc.. so i was going to buy a wheel and clutch and plate of alloy. I now will just source from kennedy also. Thank you for the help.
@@thatguy83ful This is not an easy site to deal with , but what I was saying was that I am a member of the GT40 Enthusiasts club , and I have written a few article about developing the car which you may be interested to read if you could get hold of them . best of luck Ian
TOTALLY cool! He took out those lousy single tail lights and put in the double tail lights!!! Thats how these cars SHOULD look and almost none of them have those cool lights!
Great video - to take on this type of project you certainly need some skills! How were you able to get a C (1966) registration plate? Also, the original GT40's had the cabin roof made of steel, doesn't this fibreglass part of your's compromise the car's integral strength or even the safety in the event of an accident? I would have thought an internal roll bar would be necessary, even to pass a safety inspection?
"dave glover - regarding the reg... you can buy any registration as long as it is not a later one than the year the car was made. Regarding the roll bar - it has a main roll over hoop over the drivers head, and a diagonal will be added to satisfy the MSA blue book regulations. Very few GT40's have been fitted with front roll bars as there is not room to fit them in - there have been two serious accidents with cars with front roll bars fitted. Front roll bars may acceptable for race cars with full harnesses and head restraint systems and to be driven wearing a full crash helmet, but for road cars, the single hoop with a diagonal is probably the safest option" Ian C.
I asked my dad, and he replied... "Yes , the in-car footage was taken at a GT40 AGM at Castle Donnington when we had sole use of the track along with some Cobras and a Ford RS 200 , a very rare car."

Alistair Cowan Okay. I like your replica of the GT40.
In the UK a replica/kit car will most likely have to go through an IVA, but there are lots of different categories of how you can put a car through the IVA test. I'm going to guess this (Alistair Cowan do confirm!) GT40 replica went through a Basic IVA as a 'vehicle manufactured using parts of a registered vehicle'. I think a Ford Granada was the donor and it would have a had a cologne V6 engine in it - so to comply with the whole IVA process you have to IVA it with the original engine. Once you've passed the IVA you can put in a different engine and also just buy an age-related number plate. It's all just how the system works and having to jump through the hoops.
Hay diferentes kits variando a su vez el precio. El kit de rcr (race car replicas) varia en un precio minimo de 25.000 dolares y un maximo de 45.000 dolares. Son de calidad, pero el de mejor calidad dicen ser el de superfornance y el precio minimo es de 125.000 dolares, y un precio maximo de 160-170.000
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :_(
Loved seeing his wife help with the windscreen! Having a supportive spouse helps with a project like this!
Ken miles is smilling in the heaven
I don't know if you still see these comments but I've just watched this and WOW you're dad is an incredibly talented man! Thanks for sharing, I hope he's still enjoyed the beauty!
Thankyou - yes he still enjoys the car. I’ll pass on your comments :-)
Thank you for making this videos, I enjoyed every minute watching. Very interseting
Out standing build, greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
Doin it all old school. Well done.
Also love the use of old school common hand tools and power drills to accomplish the job! Absolutely brilliant and well job done sir!
Congratulations from Mexico, beauty project!
All I can say is "Awesome!". I am building a space-frame GT40 (year 1 of a 3~5 year project). Using this masterpiece for reference. Thank you!
great build. thank you for putting this up.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I watched all three videos and I'm happy that you took it to the track. God Bless.
What a project. You are a master mechanic!
I always wanted one, had to settle for a GT6 MK2. Older now, but I enjoyed your video.
This man is a legend.. I'd love to learn from him ! He did a magnificent job.. I'm in awe..!

Magnificent work. Good on you sir!
You are impressively talented! Great work and a great car. Congratulations on you awesome re-creation.
Dude is a master builder, wish I could learn from him
thankyou for sharing these video log builds, very interesting
Loved watching this. The dedication and nuances to creating this beastly beauty was awe-inspiring!
My absolute dream car. Great work.
Absolutely fantastic, I loved every minute of this build and the end result I'm speechless 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Greatly enjoyed this. My '65 type R coupe build starts next year.
I cant say,,,, its a masterpiece work!!
LOVE how he speaks.....He's the Bob Ross of the automotive world!
Great fun to watch a master craftsman at work.
Beautiful car and great craftsmanship!
Thank you for the great video and a job well done, I really enjoyed it.
I have to have one of these... I'm obsessed with them, I just have to have one.
I'm planning to order a CAV GT+, having most of it assembled at the factory and then finished at Renner Auto in Melbourne Australia. I've got some skills, but not on this guy's level.

Fingers crossed I'll be looking at mine within the next 18 months or so. There's a GT40 shaped hole in my life that need to be filled.
what a great job .. you should be very very proud
WOW....Did I enjoy this !
Well done
Inspiring, good work bringing a legend into life.
Great job, great car !
Absolutely BOSS sump mod!
Awesome. Thanks for the videos.
very nice one day i will build a car rebuild enough engines in my life
el señor que construyo este gt40 es un maestro. lastima que en Paraguay no exista nadie asi.
Bravo, elle est superbe , puissante, on sent la passion !
The Ford GT is the most badass car ever created!
We are working on and will get 350 MPH!
Amazing job you must be proud of your dad seems like a great guy..would would be the total cost for turn key version or completed minus the engine and the transmission? thank you.
Fantastic video and production, and a great job. So we use the Granada engine, because it’s compliant for an IVA?
I'll check, but pretty sure it was to get it licensed, and after that it was replaced... with the V8, shipped from the US.
Very nice car! Do you have quartermiles-results?
Great film. Any updates on the car? How ;ong did the buiid take start-to-finish (with the V8 installed)?
He's done lots to it - it's an on going project. I'll get some updates from him
How it cost one like this my friend, i would like to buy one.
An e type jag in the background. That will do me.
Fantastic work. This car has a current MOT ;-) Shame mine does not
Awesome job, very impressive! Approx how many hours did it take in the end and what was the elapsed build time?
Thanks for the videos. How does it handle compared to the real thing?
Very skilled and patient engineers looks very satisfying to build one great job

Where can I buy a kit car and how much would it be?
TOTALLY cool! He took out those lousy single tail lights and put in the double tail lights!!! Thats how these cars SHOULD look and almost none of them have those cool lights!

A well done is deserved we have to remember this was probably over a couple of years with plenty of frustration and blood letting
what brand of kit was this, as nothing seemed to fit properly?
I think it says in Part 1. Southern GT.
That circuit is Donington Park?
I asked my dad, and he replied... "Yes , the in-car footage was taken at a GT40 AGM at Castle Donnington when we had sole use of the track along with some Cobras and a Ford RS 200 , a very rare car."
Alistair Cowan Okay. I like your replica of the GT40.

Price??
me gustaria tener un gt40. cuanto costaria en total?

Son de calidad, pero el de mejor calidad dicen ser el de superfornance y el precio minimo es de 125.000 dolares, y un precio maximo de 160-170.000
Total cost?
I asked my dad... he could only hazard a guess at £25,000... and it took him about 2 years.
👍👍👍👍
