It took almost 5 years to completely restore the beauty.
could use some paint maybe but who knows what the original color was, fantastic recreation though, and glad it wasn't built out of a mostly complete car like some may do. a 30's grill was a fantastic idea for racing, not only does it look fast and streamlined, its perfect for protecting the radiator from damage, likely the main reason for it being installed
My wife won't let me get mine out of the garage it's a 1965 GT40 MK1 right hand drive
Cool! As of 5/24 there’s a Model T Speedster on eBay for $18,500. It has a rare Frontenac overhead valve conversion that doubles the hp.
Great design, coachwork and mechanical skills.
Adam, Great video thank you. Do you have other videos on adjusting the carb prior to trying to start the engine? My model x carb goes on my 1929 AA Ford Truck. Thanks in advance. Les
Beautiful! ❤it! Some clever innovation on that engine to drive line set-up. Thanks for sharing.
Great Find. All those hammers
Meditation in Steel. Terrific, thankyou.
Cool build
What a nice job of building this machine. I do wonder why you are using a model T engine. Why not a model A since you have later parts anyway?
How many man hours in each car? Can you imagine how much it would cost to build a car out of sheet metal, using a hammer today? Fantastic film footage
What a cool video! I think Henry would've really liked this car. I didn't know racing these was even a thing up until a couple of days ago when I ran across another video on YT. She turned out beautifully.. I just wish I could hear it run.
What a great build. Love the attention to detail on this car,,,,Izzy Strong,,,,,
Yes, let's just assemble rusty parts.
Beautiful masterful work!!
Adam: A question: how critical is the 0.040" orifice in the jet at the bottom of the float bowl - the one that allows fuel to flow down to the main jets? I am asking because I was unsuccessful in removing the old jet - it broke off - and I also failed with an extractor to get it out. So - I resorted to drilling it out. I tapped the hole to 1/4-20 thread. I want to put a vented set screw in that tapped hole - with a 0.060" diameter hole in it. Seems to me that bigger is OK - the main jets coming afterward will do the actual metering of the fuel into the fuel/air mixture. What do you think?
There is more than just hole size to a jet. entrance into and out of the jet affect flow. I would get some brass allen head screws. Start around .040 and drill larger as necessary. Time yourself over a measured distance and redrill until it slows down. Then drill a new screw one size smaller and you're done. BTW, Holley carb jets are 1/4-32 if you wanted to use a Holley jet.
You did a marvellous job . Bodywork is fantastic. The old patina with new sheetmetal is a great idea.Well done.
Nice job, keep it simple technique😉🙂👍👍
I have a bit of chalk that I use to load the file, so that the alloy does not stick in it.
Awesome job guys . . . nice to see this History preserved. Maybe one day I will get to the Museum to see it. Mark Donahue was one of the best, got to see him race at Edmonton Speedway several times in TransAm & CanAm back in 70 & 71.
Was the team able to reuse the original engine block with the hole in it or was it replaced?
What was the official color of the car? Was it a mustang color??? Who drove the #4 at Le Mans?
Alguém tem como eles fizeram a estampa do assoalho.
Só queria saber como estamparam o assoalho
The GT40 is truly a Sexy car!❤️🏁
My grandad worked at Abbey panels, famously on the Etype jag but I like to think he knew some of these blokes
I worked with Mose at Henry Ford Museum, and saw this car in Greenfield Village at 2018 Old Car Festival. Very nice! Did you do mechanical and body, or mechanicals only?
Very helpful. Exactly what I need
Gorgeous car, amazing job guys.
This ishud be name Ford Cheeky 40 project. That is how a racing car shud sound.Looks nice in the shop , gorgeous on the track and perfect when its moving😁✌️
1.250 for the diameter of the rollers, .4375 for the diameter of the pin shaft. If you know the dimension for the roller pin head, it is important as the head of the pin rides the roller track and centers the shoes.
What a Beast!🔥The GT40 is the Sexiest, most Beautiful American race car ever!🏁
Fun project! and great music1
A wonderful group of volunteers I was privileged to work with. Without their over 4.5 year dedication, this never would have been possible. From the folks at the Indy Museum to the helpers at Mayflower, The painters at Project 203, Plymouth Plating Company, Mike Teske (lots of NLA GT40 parts), Ford Archives, my wonderful wife, late father, and many friends! Special recognition for Adam C. who was a consistent pillar of strength thru the whole project and kept the team inspired.
Thank you, amazing footage
I hope the Museum at least warms it up every once and a while...
Isn't that Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough?
Abbey Panels at the start. FAV where you see cars in build. '64 race season with the initial prototype cars in action. There must have been a soundtrack to this promo film originally. Please, someone, put names to some of the faces. I spotted Wyer, and McLaren at the end. Who are the other drivers shown? Looks like this is found film that has been transferred to DVD by the kind of high street service offered by Timpsons or Max Spielmann, hence the dreadful wedding music and generic start/end. The original footage is historically important and should be in the hands of an archive which can properly conserve it. Adam, thanks for putting it up but more info please.
@@davidpalk5010 I was under the impression the Prototypes and early Mk1's were assembled in the Lola factory before FAV. The White Prototypes were pre Shelby development cars (the famous 'British couldn't make it work' cars)
@@K2edg pardon me. Lola at Bromley for the first three at least. British did eventually make the 289/302 work with Weslake heads. Not an endurance motor before that. I think Wyer properly set the record straight in '68 and '69. Credit to the US for the '67 win, a fully US operation that one. I'd like to know more about Shelby's contribution to the programme early on. Does anyone know of a reliable reference source?
@@davidpalk5010 classic example of 'History is writen by the victor!' So the only Gt40 that wasn't built in the Uk was the J car or Mk4.........Shelby's biggest contribution was when aproached by Ford he got on the phone to Wyer (his mentor), John Wyer ran FAV and built all the Gt40's, they were then sent to race teams such as Shelby, Holman Moody, Alan Mann etc it was Just Shelby's race team that won with the cars. When Ken Miles died in the J Car that set a chain of events off than saw Shelby retire to South Africa in 67 and Ford pull out of Lemans. By that point John Wyer had purchased the FAV facility and has completly reworked the GT40 in to the wide body light weight mirage that won in 68-69 ironicly on a shoe string budget. And if you doubt how much John Wyer had to do with the success he then went on to take the Porsche 917 and do it again...... he turn it from a unstable killer to one of the most iconic race cars of all time.
@@K2edg Thanks for that insight. Is there a book that details this period and the various characters accurately? The thing that maddens me is the '66 photo-finish fable. Amon is on record as saying that he couldn't resist blipping the throttle for a last second sprint at the line that gave him and McLaren victory by fifty yards or so. Naughty boy! The ACO rule that's often quoted, about the McLaren/Amon car starting further back and therefore winning a dead heat finish due to having travelled further, is such nonsense. That rule might have come into play if it had been a dead heat, but it clearly wasn't. Amon won it because he crossed the line first - by an obvious margin ahead of the other two cars. Would you concur with that assessment? It seems that Shelby was a showman ready to take personal credit for as much as possible, regardless of the facts. Hopefully there is a reference work which sets the history straight. I'd love to know the title if there is. Also, the Henry Ford II's "Ford Total Performance" programme which inspired the whole thing is never mentioned. It's always the BS about a personal vendetta against Enzo Ferrari without any mention of the bigger story that Ford had set out to dominate every aspect of domestic and international motorsport regardless of the failed Ferrari deal which was just one aspect of the FTP programme. It's a fascinating story heavily obscured by popular myths. I will never watch Ford vs. Ferrari! If there isn't already a book, someone needs to write up "Ford Total Performance" as a historical reference work. Now that would be absolutely fascinating...
What a sound. Just wonderful
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for posting it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
oohhh beautiful !
Beautiful video...! thanks for sharing it with all of us, GT40 True Story..!
this is the best thing ive seen. sweet jesus this should be in a museum
Awesome!
Amazing footage
There is more information here on the Mk 1 than I have seen elsewhere. Thank you!
Awesome video. Just got a tillotson for model a & plan to rebuild it.
You really need to update I am dying to see it up close and how you mated the Model T and A transmission
Is their any specific height it has to be between the crankshaft and oil pan .
great video thanks! I have the xf..can I put a small amount of gasket sealer to seal the 2 halves? any lube where all the jets go?
I am an aircraft mechanic by training, and I am new to Model A’s. We use this product (EZ TURN / “FUELLUBE”) from Aircraft Spruce. I would use it on all the threaded components except the screws for the throttle plate, the choke plate, and the three fillister screws that hold the bowl together [where my personal preference is an extremely light coat of blue Loctite]. Additionally, on aircraft we have very good luck using Fuel Lube on the gaskets - it keeps them soft and pliable and creates a good seal with less torque.
You don't want to "glue" carb gaskets. Firstly, because any goop you slather on will inevitably find its way into drilled passages between pieces, possibly compromising flow. Secondly, eventually, you (or the next guy) will want to change that gasket. Any stuff that makes it stick will need scraping off. Scraping pot metal is iffy at best. If you want to make it sticky for assembly, either the aero goo the previous guy suggested, or plain vanilla white lithium grease will goo it on, but not plug stuff up, or force you to drag hard stuff on soft surfaces to clean it off next time.
