I can't imagine how exciting it must be to have a full-sized GT-40 sitting in the garage.. It's fun to see a pristine garage at the start of the build; so many projects are filmed in garages/sheds where you can barely move for other unfinished junk. Dan there's a guy in the NSW Southern Highlands with a GT40, if I can catch him I'll put him onto your channel, he might be able to offer some insights for this project..

He's only 35, he'll be ok for another 10 years but from my perspective, there is no question that he needs a lift. If it was me I'd buy a good drive-on lift and modify it to lift the chassis flat until it is on it's wheels. Creepers suck. Working 6" from your nose sucks. But that's probably just me. I've wanted to do a GT40 since about 1970 but not realistic.🙂

G'day Fred, the kit is manufactured by Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia. You could probably import a kit into the USA but not sure what that might involve or the cost. The kit alone is approx USD70k.

@@BuiltbyDan Very ambitious project Dan, good luck take your time and do a good job but try not to obsess over every little detail. I'm currently building a 59 corvette resto mod. Original 59 body, SR111 racing chassis, ls2 6.0L, C4 suspension and a Muncie 4 speed. I got like 600 hours it to it so far, it's drivable but far from done. Cheers!

@BuiltbyDan

I'm not too sure on timeframe to be honest. Initial feeling is that it seems it will take a bit longer as I document for KZbin, than it would if I was just building it without recording it. I'll be doing most of the work with my partner helping out where she can. No doubt I will need to seek some support from others along the way where I don't have a particular skillset.

G'day Ryan, for now I'm largely referencing the build manual and trying to identify a logical order to avoid installing and uninstalling parts too often, but its inevitable I'll probably overlook something. It's been suggested I mount a whiteboard on the wall and keep a list of tasks that I'm unable to finish or need help with etc. I'm told most areas are generally accessible for most of the build so there is no hard and fast sequence that needs to be followed. Having said that, I am a Project Manager, so I'm sure it won't be long before I develop a program or spreadsheet! 🤣

Just to give you a little piece of advice and you can take it or leave it that's up to you but you're going to get into this thing you're going to get fired up and then you're going to all of a sudden shut down and think that you're not doing enough because you will not see the progress that you made and I realize doing this talk to text there is no periods or karma so I'm sure you can figure out you're smart enough I will say one thing and this is going to be really important and I want to ask you a question and I would like a response. How do you eat an elephant? My response one bite at a time. You're going to get frustrated and when you do clean your tools up walk away and come back the next day and do it right

Are you going to keep the shifter to the right of the driver in the door sill?
@BuiltbyDan
@BuiltbyDan 3 жыл бұрын
Great question, I'm not sure yet... there really isn't a lot of room to mount the shifter to the side of the door sill, whereas the central shifter, although not as authentic, is more natural in terms of driving position, particularly here in Australia where all our vehicles are right hand drive with central shifter. Will consider this further as I get to fitting out the interior.

@@dave5833 based on a very simply conversion it would be approx USD70k, but if you purchased all the same parts within the US it would be much cheaper. A lot of the parts in this kit come from the US and are hit with numerous taxes when they land here, so that basic conversion is not a true reflection of the cost of these items in the US, if that makes sense!
