4000 hours to BUILD my DREAM CAR in 17 minutes 

Awesome job.

I love how like 1000 hours of this is just planning and design. That's some high level professionalism.

Comment c'est possible de réunir dans un seul et même cerveau autant de capacités intellectuelles, manuelles, auto-apprentissage, CAO, toutes les techniques de la mécanique, de l'ingénierie automobile, de carrosserie, et par dessus tout, d'avoir le temps de faire toutes ces vidéos RU-vid avec montage et le Timelapse final. Le tout, pour un rendu sublime. Mais quelle pugnacité, tu es brillant, bravo ! Hate de voir l'hypercar...

Now this is something money can't buy.

This guy took "built not bought" to the next level. You have my respect.

This is proof that if you have the determination, you can do ANYTHING. Can't believe you actually made a GT40 from scratch. You got so much talent.

I think I shed a little tear when it all came together at the end… 😢 perfect, it’s just perfect! This - in my opinion - is more valuable than a multi million dollar car that some rich guy just walks in and buys… you built this with your own two hands, mad love ❤

le mans 1966 - “It’s a truly lucky man, who knows want he wants to do in this world. ‘Cause that man will never work a day in his life. But there are a few, a precious few, and hell, I don’t know if they’re lucky or not. But there are a few people who find something they have to do. Something obsesses them. Something if they can’t do it, it’s gonna drive them clean out of their mind." And you just did it. Greatest respect.

I'm so happy RU-vid recommended me this!

this is EASILY, the greatest homemade vehicle i have ever seen someone build. your attention to detail and design are inspiring.

I am truly gobsmacked. I repair crashed vehicles as my description. Your dream coupled with your vision...then laid out on paper and then built...via stick welding....dude...you had me at HellO im'e delighted to see you drive your Workmanship! Dream! Keep doing what your doing bud!

This guy giving off Ken Miles energy it is not a coincidence they both make the entire GT40 except the engine and transmission. Well deserved I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

No one deserves a car this beautiful more than the guy who built it himself. Congratulations to you. I know you’re proud of it. Simply gorgeous!

Not only did you make your dream car from scratch which looks absolutely phenomenal, but you also managed to capture everything on camera! Astounding!

Cher Benjamin , j'ai suivi la réalisation de votre projet ( insensé ) en 2017 étape par étape , vous êtes un génie pas de doute et que dire du modèle choisi la GT 40 , une légende ! Félicitations pour avoir surmonté tout ces obstacles et d'avoir réaliser un tel chef d'œuvre , votre talent en encouragera plus d'un à se lancer dans une telle aventure !

You are a credit to our species. You and your team. Also my favorite car. To see it built from scratch and pure determination out of want is incredible to say the least. To see a thing or imagine it and say to oneself, I wish to behold that and then make it so from raw material is truly the work of a visionary and master craftsman! Salvador Dali is quoted to have said. “Those that refuse to imitate ,create nothing “ You my good man and comrades have done so flawlessly with great credit to the real McCoy and even in someways surpassing it, for yours to is made of dreams based on a dream so beautiful and worth dreaming for us all again . Truly an awe inspiring creation from thought to form . Thank you for sharing .

Projects like this RARELY get completed. This has got to be one of the BEST vehicle build accomplishments I’ve ever seen. Very happy and proud of you! Attention to detail is astonishing. Drive safe!

I went to school for mechanical engineering science while I was in the Marine Corps, and got my ASE certs after getting out. From both a mechanical engineering perspective, as well as an automotive technical standpoint this is beyond impressive. Building a go-cart from scratch is fun, and only mildly difficult depending on your suspension, drivetrain, steering system, etc. However the mechanical strain and allowable tolerances increases exponentially as the size of the vehicle increases. The planning, dedication, and work that went into this is absolutely an outstanding achievement.

Juste un mot...magnifique!!! En parlant du résultat et du travail accompli. Bravo pour cette œuvre d'art, parce que c'en est une.

il n'y a pas de mots..! t'ayant suivi au début..perdu entre temps.... et retrouver cette vidéo , là, avec un projet abouti, merveilleux, réunissant tant de précision , envies, persévérance...et j'en passe..! et imaginer ta satisfaction de posséder une des plus belle voiture, qui plus est..fabriquée par toi..Bravo

It's hard to believe the level of talent this guy has. This covers such a wide range of things that you have to know so much about. I am speechless at what I just witnessed.

Best 17 minutes I have spent on RU-vid in a long time. Bravo, what a work of art. Took that whole ‘go big or go home’ really seriously. Bloody fantastic.

Salute for making the whole car in just 17 minutes

It’s one of the best projects I’ve ever seen in YT. Impressive! You built a car from scratch!! Congrats guys!

Such amazing and incredible work! Really great handmade car!!! I hope it will bring you good emotions and warm looks. And thanks for your video, it's inspiring!

This brings car projects to a whole new level, I can't express how impressive this is. Very well done my friend!

The excitment and happiness in your faces when you started it up and drove it around is just priceless! Glad i stumbled upon your amazing channel!!

4000hrs 4000HRS!!!! DO BUILD A FORD GT40 THIS GUY A LEGEND.

Without a doubt, one of the most amazing passion projects I have ever seen. Incredible job not giving up. The sound, the style, the color. Awesome job

Absolutely insane. If i hadn't seen the process, i'd have thought Ford produced a brand new batch of GT40s. The attention to detail is incredible and your skills are superb. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Quelles sensations de dingue t'as du ressentir. T'es un exemple mec

What a beautiful machine! You should all be proud of your hard work and accomplishment. Thank you for sharing you project.

this is the absolute best handmade project i’ve seen in quite a while You are an inspiration well done ✊ henry ford would be proud.

I was not expecting much from the beginning. Kit cars usually seem cheap. But holy cow. You are a mastermind. What a work of art and engineering you have put together. You could do anything. This is a masterpiece.

Incredible, the most technical and well-designed construction project I’ve ever seen. Congratulations...!!!

I am in awe of your work. Hats off, the result was so satisfying.

This... is just insane, making an iconic sportscar from scratch is just mind blowing.. full respect 👏🏼

I've built cars almost 35 years now, congratulations on an excellent outstanding build. Truly wonderful my friend ❤

This is a great and inspiring documentary, just the clever filming setup to capture the critical developments over 4 years is an achievement in itself. But as someone mentioned previously it’s the ‘unseen’ cross-discipline engineering efforts, struggles, ‘lessons learned’ failures, and mini disasters that must’ve occurred across this epic project which all contribute to a successful outcome in the end.

This project is on another level. The amount of hard you put into this is unreal. Great job!

This has been my dream car since forever, I am 60+ and still dreaming, watching this video my jaw was on the floor. I hope you get many hours of well deserved enjoyment from your efforts. Merci beaucoup Benjamin.

Content de t'avoir découvert alors que la voiture n'étais que quelques dizaines de tubes pointés ensembles. Au final 4000h c'est assez peu quand on voit le boulot qu'il a fallu! Juste bravo!

Bravo folks, bravo!

BENJAMIN SOIT FIER DE TOI. C'EST LE MEILLEUR CAR HOMEMADE QUE J'AI VU DANS LE MONDE ENTIER. J'ESPÈRE VOIR D'AUTRES GRAND PROJETS AVEC TOI. T'ES ASSEZ TALENTUEUX ET OUTILLÉ POUR FAIRE PLUS DE MERVEILLES.👋

Quite possibly one of the most amazing RU-vid videos I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant work! I can't imagine the sense of pride at driving it having made it, from scratch, yourselves. Well done.

Man you got all the proportions exactly accurate its really amazing how you were so dedicated to this build, hope it gives you the best memories for the future

I was watching in awe the entire video. This my friends, this man is living proof that if we set our mind to do something, we will achieve it. You just have to put in the effort. Even revisiting this video after 2 years, it still makes me believe that whatever dream we have, don't just let it be a dream. Make it a reality. Thank you for this video Benjamin. Hats off to all who were involved in this project.

good lord the sound is glorious.. amazing job you did is an understatement

and here i am thinking restoring a Mustang is hard. I can't imagine fully custom building a GT40 literally from the ground up! Great work! It looks amazing!

amazing build. only dedication and persistence can achieve this kind of project

Psychedelic trance and metal fabrication in one video.... Sublime.

It’s really a pleasure to see an artist like you, consistency is the key of the success, you are the proof!

Dang such a wild build, it's insane to see basically everything made from scratch. Awesome job my guy, can't wait to see what you make next.

The world needs more of this! Hard work and dedication really pays off, and you deserve every smile this dream brings your way. Congratulations on a beautiful build!

This video actually made me cry, the amount of determination it takes to build your dream car from scratch is phenomenal! Outstanding work my good sir! Keep it up!!

Congratulations on the build. Amazing 👏👏👏👏

The skill and mastery that went into this has me speechless. This is incredible. Amazing job!

This might be the most impressive thing I have seen on all of RU-vid. The patience, knowledge and skills that it took to recreate such an iconic car from the ground up is amazing but then you filmed it all so that we could follow along. Thank you for that.

Amazing work my friend! Thank you for showing us what a master can do! Congratulations on your well deserved success!

Hi mate, I'm from Mauritius and I just want to say that your creation is perhaps one of the most beautifully crafted, by far one of the best builds I've seen on RU-vid. My grandmother (MAMA) has complimented you for your endeavor. I was wondering what types of welding rod are you using ?

Absolutely amazing !!! You literally built this GT40 from scratch with raw tubing, welding and a few specialized parts without a fancy jig or anything. This takes real skills with time, engineering, effort, patience and money to build this. This was not a kit, this was / is a build. Congratulations very much !!!!!!!

this is just ridicilous. i can't even imagine the amount of knowledge it takes to build something like this from absolute scratch. huge kudos to this guy

le travail est super, des répliques très précises. Idéalement.

Well done brother, you are the most skilled person that I have ever seen. Truly an inspiration!

Plus qu'un projet: une AVENTURE ! Encore bravo Benjamin 👏😊

Had my doubts at the beginning, but this guy did it and it's a beauty. Congrats.

Wow man! It’s my favourite car of all time. Amazing build. Your skills and passion are unmatched

once in a lifetime build.......awesome work

Everyone is in awe about the amount of time spent to see your build come to fruition, but the amazing thing to me is the multiple cross disciplines of skills you had to gain individually in order to bring on this project. The unseen hours!

It's impressive how he managed to build his dream car in 17 minutes!

110% amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. Such an enormous feat... You're awesome. Thank you for the journey.

Just incredible, so many skills you have mastered. Incredible!! 👏👏

Damn! That design is over 50 years old and still stunning to look at. Awe inspiring build. Bravo

Quand on lit les commentaires, on y voit plein de langues différentes. Ton travail est incroyable et a largement dépassé nos frontières. Félicitations et bonne réussite pour ton nouveau projet.

That welding work looks amazing

Unbelievable project. What a beautiful build.

Not sure why this video got recommended to me but it's a good thing as I fully watched it till the end, I respect the dedication you poured into building the machine. Really inspiring and I can't imagine to feel how you felt when its all finished. What a gorgeous car. Congrats!

This has been just about the coolest 17 minutes and 15 seconds of my day. I will have to go back and watch all the other videos to see more detail. Great work and some serious ingenuity on display!

Amazing, you inspired me to get up on my project again!

Congrats and hats off to you sir! Nothing but respect ✊

Astonishing engineering, when there’s no GT like the one you want, you made it 👌

Holy hell the amount of time and dedication put into making this absolute masterpiece respect dude also you have good taste in cars 👌

Extremly impressed!!! What a build! What a car! Beautiful, well done!

My favorite gt car of all time. amazing fabrication and design skills and a beautiful result🤩

I clicked on this thinking I might skip through and watch a couple minutes of it… I ended up watching the entire thing and absolutely loving it! Incredible job 👏🏻👏🏻 you have my respect 100%. I have to ask- what was the most challenging part of the build?

Watched from the beginning till the end… I’m absolutely stunned and amazed about the amount and quality of work… Your GT40 looks, sounds and I believe behaves on the top level, like it should! Great work man! Lot’s of respect!!!

Such a beautiful job! Great work. Big fan of the gt40.

So inspiring. Brings a tear of joy to my eye. I commend you, sir!! 👍🏻

I'm just amazed by the sheer sense of professionalism and effort that went into building this from scratch. I was grinning at listening to the sound of the car running on the road. You are amazing mister. Kudos to you and great success ahead.

MAN!! I can’t imagine all the emotions you must have felt during the entire journey. What an artist you are! Congrats and enjoy every bit of it - you deserve it! With love, from America 🇺🇸! -JE

Incroyable ! Bravo

One of the best videos on you tube, incredible build

Hey, Ben! I followed the GT 40 construction since the beginning, even without understanding a word of french! Thanks, your work showed me it's possible!

C'est la vidéo la plus vue de la chaîne, magnifique récompense après ce projet astronomique et toutes ces heures de travail, bravo Benjamin.

This is a great example of Patience... really amazing and wonderful... appreceateble

She's an absolute beauty! love your car and your work!

That excitement when the car moves is rewarding enough. All the hours of hard work pays off. Engineers lead the way.

Easily the best video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. You’re an inspiration! I was already thinking of starting a 60’a V12 F1 project but i think you just sold me on starting my project ASAP. I have no words for how beautiful your GT40 is. You deserve all the praise bro

WONDERFULL!

Juste remarquable ! Bravo, bonne continuation. Stive
