In this special episode I've put together a time lapse video documenting the 1500+ hours work put into the restoration / rebuild of my GT40
The work started November 2020 with the car making it back onto the road September 2022 but the journey hasn't finished yet!

I chanced upon this but it was amazing to watch. Kudos mate.

@Ralph2 Год назад

Watched this project from the very beginning so was well aware there was no aspect of this car that had not been re-engineered, modified or re-imagined. Even so, watching the whole project from start to finish in one go is a strong reminder just how much love and care went into it. It's a wonderful monument to your achievement Andrew.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thanks Ralph really appreciated :-) it was weird to go over all of the old footage as I'd forgotten just how far it's come

@Rich77UK Месяц назад

I LOVE the new colour. Gorgeous! Well built too. Congrats and kudos to you.

Wow. Blown away by this Andrew. Superb work 😲😎👌

@ratchetgt40 10 месяцев назад

Many thanks!

@miguelperaza6615 Год назад

Now , since you started this project? We are convinced you are the VERSACE of exotic car re - styling .

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Haha, thanks!

@tuftyterror983 Год назад

Such a beautiful car

@miguelperaza6615 Год назад

Seems your changes made the frame stiffer and more space age modernistic 😊

@svgproductions72 Год назад

This is an impressive project! I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos lately. I’ve always wanted to get a GT40 in your spec, the wide body MKI, but a Superformance is a bit out of the price range. I was looking at other options such as the Tornado kit, will you do a video on how much the project cost you? Looking forward to more content from you

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

HI, thanks. I'm getting together some ideas for further content on the car, I'll perhaps try and get a gauge of what the build cost me, I dread to think!

@charliemessenger6537 Год назад

Absolutely amazing! I had forgotten so many little mods. And you did all of this in a relatively short amount of time. From cobbled together Purple People Eater to centerfold car in two years is quite a Herculean feat. You sir, have bragging rights! Very beautiful, Andrew.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thank you Charlie!

@jamespatton4214 Год назад

Still think this has to be the best non original GT40 in Britain. If there's a better one.....show me! Again, a job superbly done Andrew.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

That's a bold claim James! haha. I highly doubt it though :-) There are some builds which are on another level and some in progress even above those! For my first ever go it's turned out reasonable, it's by no means perfect :-)

Dude your good dam.

@miguelperaza6615 Год назад

I have to congratulate you for such fantastic job you did 👏 it was epic.😮 Here in America we got a manufacturing company called Superformace , I called them and their gt 40 cars are not rain proof .

@dallisb1047 Год назад

Nice!!

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thanks!

@SportsandGT Год назад

I parked alongside your GT40 today at Cotswold Barn but by the time I’d warmed up with a coffee you were gone!

@williamlanphar630 Год назад

Such a great job Andrew. I hope you have years of enjoyment with it !

@suntzu5836 Год назад

Two long years........And that's the color you chose!

@doctorhouxoflemans Год назад

Such a meticulous build. Heaven knows how many hours in total! How is the Nyalic on the panels performing? I guess you treated all yours before fitting back on the car? I did mine in situ and some panels had micro bubbles whilst others never seemed to fully harden and are a little waxy to the touch. Think I may have had some sort of residue on them so probably my fault, not the product 🙄

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

I roughly worked out that its around 1500 hours. The Nyalic is holding up perfectly, sorry to hear you had issues with yours, by the sounds of it the panels weren't clinically clean unfortunately hence the reaction. I washed all of my panels with soap and hot water, then went over them very carefully with acetone on paper towels, wiping them over until the paper towels didn't lift off any more dirt. Due to me scratching a couple of the panels I did have to touch them up again and that was done just by again wiping them down with acetone and then spraying the Nyalic, the new & old coating married in perfectly

@erich5318 Год назад

well done! car and video 🙂

@johntisbury Год назад

You tend to forget all the steps and changes you made along the way. This video is a great reminder, despite it not showing all the extras you did along the way.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thanks John, if I tried to cover all of the little tricks and touches the video would have been triple the length! haha

@panchovisa Год назад

Mine minutes into your video and I had to pause, I was exhausted for you. Great job, you should be very proud. Built, not bought. Ok, back to the video.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thanks 👍

@rockeroller 10 месяцев назад

Rebuilt to factory original specs, looks like.

@cal4050 Год назад

Which chassis company is this? CAV40? How much did it come to total without labor?

@Jimmy_Broadbent 9 месяцев назад

This car is gorgeous mate, awesome job!

@ratchetgt40 9 месяцев назад

Thanks mate

@TP-3000 8 месяцев назад

Damn, that is perfect

@deanwallace1680 Год назад

One of the best vids so far!!!! You did such a great job mate. And all in your own backyard! Very inspiring for a future 40 builder!

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@1984ChrisHill Год назад

Great job Andrew. I've been following you since very early on. I saw your car down at the NEC (it's stunning) and took delivery of my own tornado chassis 2 weeks ago. Your videos are a massive help. Thank you!

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thanks for following the build mate and congratulations on starting your build!!! Are you going to be documenting the build anywhere? FB, GT40 forum? I'd love to follow another builder on their journey!

@1984ChrisHill Год назад

@@ratchetgt40 I keep thinking about it. You've set the bar high! I'll send you a link if I do. Thanks.

@muffty1337 Год назад

it looks fabulous!

@andresgarcia7757 Год назад

Andrew you are an artist. You did a wonderful job, it looks so classy with the color choices, the wood touch points, and the body color. At first I couldn’t understand why you were cutting the body but now I can see why! Your car is stunning!

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Thank you so much 😀

@HedrickSpeedsports Год назад

WOW!!! Bravo!!!

@miguelperaza6615 Год назад

Oy mate? You seemed to get younger as you re - built that gt 40

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

I'm Peter Pan!!

@jonathanohagan1349 Год назад

Just stubbled into this one. Nice. Good colour, like the red stripe.

@JC-jj1xm Год назад

I'm preparing myself for the possible purchase of a RCR kit in Dec, this gives me a little insight on what to expect except your chassis is tubular, where there is an aluminium tub. But seeing the modifications to make it look more accurate is the kind of inspiration and information I needed to see! great job, looks absolutely amazing!

@ratchetgt40 11 месяцев назад

Thanks, enjoy your build!

@darthpeteza9624 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful job well done :D

@integrars100 Год назад

Love it!! Would you recommend doing this? Rebuilding a kit car. Or just go buy a kit brand new? Also curious if you have and would share a cost break down.

@ratchetgt40 Год назад

Peter, both routes have their pros and cons.... perhaps a conversation for another video! :-)
