- Tune in to this episode of Built by Dan to see the unboxing of Dan’s long awaited Ford GT40 replica kit car and all the kit components / parts supplied to complete the build.
This episode will document the unpacking / unboxing of the GT40 crate, as well as unpacking all the parts/components packed into the crate and chassis of the GT40 and grouping them as best as possible onto the shelving in the garage for ease of access as they are required. Dan also moves the chassis off the crate and onto the chassis stands he designed and had fabricated for the build. A final tidy up and rearranging of the garage and Dan will be ready to start the first step of the build in the next episode!

I look forward to seeing this build when it’s finally finished.
Did someone say GT40 ?? I'm all ears and eyes !! I'm already a fan of 'GT40-Dan' 😎💯
Thanks Shane!
This is going to be fun to watch. If I could make a suggestion...switch to a lav mic to get rid of a lot of the echo in the audio.
Thanks David, have purchased a wireless lav mic. Next episode there should be a significant improvement in audio quality.
@@BuiltbyDan Tesla powered ? 700hp should be ok for it lol :):) (there is a 650bhp Tesla powered beetle in the UK).....
@@kylereese4822 V8 or nothing, there simply is no replacement for displacement
@@ToyotaCorolla-qs7ml Remind me of the 1020bhp Tesla Model S
@@kylereese4822 No One turns their heads for a Tesla because they can't hear it coming but everyone turns their head for a GT40.
I love the garage setup. Painted floor and shelving is what I’m going to do with all of my builds.
Absolute Pace produce and awesome package! I really look forward to seeing this build develop!
Thanks for the support!
hello from CANADA , i build Cobras , love the GT40 mk2 ,looking forward to seeing this car being built
Thanks for the support!
Been looking forward to seeing “what’s in the box”. Looks like a high quality kit. Roll on the next video!!
Thanks Simon. The build has now started and a new video should be posted in the next couple weeks!
@@BuiltbyDan where did you purchase the kit ?
@@BuiltbyDan yooooooo , where did you purchase the kit ?
I’m thinking on buying a full kit from RCR but I would be nice to compare pricing with yours , well that’s if you answer ..
@@groundzero4044 the kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia. Cost was approx $100k (AUD). Apologies I missed your previous comment.
Looking forward to watching!
Best wishes from Sweden. I’m excited about this project, i can’t wait to see the next episode. 👍👏👏👏🏆🤩
Thanks Mathias! New episode coming soon where I finally make a start building / assembly the car!
Good choice going with the Mk.I. The rear is far better looking than later versions.
This video came up on my CZcams feed and I'm glad it did. I've now watched all the previous episodes and look forward to many more as the build goes on. I predict you'll get a large following on your channel. I'll be proud to say I was a subscriber since the unboxing!
Thanks for the support Al! Glad you enjoyed the previous episodes.
Keep them coming! Planning on building a kit of my own!
Will do Matt. When I started looking there wasn't really a lot of vlogs out there documenting GT40 builds, that was my inspiration to start this channel. I hope it assists or encourages you in some way for your build!
Just found your build vids Dan, absolutely love it. I just recently finished building an ICCAR'S AC Cobra kit so have a good understanding of what you are going through. Looking forward to watching the rest of your series.
Thanks Richard, hope you enjoy the build series!
I look forward to watching this build
Can’t believe it all fits on one shelf!
I know Ryan, I was shocked! Only items not on that shelf are the side and rear windows as I didn't want to damage them moving them around all the time to access other parts.
I've been in hospital clean rooms that were dirtier than your garage. I'm excited to see this build. Congrats again on the new project.
🤣😂🤣 thanks mate, appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy the build series!
So excited for the build
Thanks Stefano, hope you enjoy the build series!
Once you get all the stuff out of the interior, the VERY next step should be "sitting in the driver's seat and going vrroooom vrrrrooom" lol Come on, you know you wanna hahahha
I sure did! (Without the vroom vrooms though), I think it got missed in the editing or its in there but at light speed.
@@BuiltbyDan haha no self respecting guy WOULDN'T hahahaha
Good luck, making a dream come true... My favourite car with the Miura
This looks like a very cool project I am excited to watch it unfold
Thanks for the support Chris!
wow really pleased this popped up as a recommendation to watch great video and will be following along 👍
Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy the build series.
Subbed. I love th gt40. Seeing one get built like this is something to look out for :D
Looking forward to see the end result!
Thanks Emils.
Sweet Dan. Look forward to following from NZ 🇳🇿
Thanks for the support Matt.
looks like a really complete kit and very nice quality look forward to seeing it come together :)
Thanks Ed, the kit was available in 3 stages that can be purchased as you go, but I decided to purchase all three at once.
@@BuiltbyDan that's a good shout I have been doing mine piece by piece and it's been holding me up with waiting times looking forward to seeing it come together 😁
This is just the channel I've been looking for!!!! I want to build an RCR GT40. I will be following this religiously lol good luck! Be safe!!
Thanks Anthony! Hope you enjoy the build series.
I'm taking delivery of my cobra in November. This is the second one I will have built and this one's going to be vicious with almost 600 horsepower haha. The GT40 kits in America are very expensive they sure are nice though maybe next time. Good luck with your channel
Congratulations!
Thanks Bruno!
Watching from sunny Hermanus South Africa 🇿🇦😎
Hi I have just come across your Chanel, and it is going to be fab to watch!, you have chosen such an iconic car to build, i my self am currently restoring a 1974 MG Midget, so it is always enjoyable following someone else’s journey! Looking good so far, Ade UK
Thanks for the support Ade!
Hi, from India.... Good to see projects like this✌
G'day Kevin, thanks for the support!
I'm a new subscriber, I'm looking forward to seeing this GT get built. I'm actually kinda excited and intrigued in this build, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
G'day Mike, thanks for the support and encouraging words. Much appreciated!
Hello Dan from Utah in the US! Just stumbled onto your channel and subbed! I have done a couple replicas ( Sterling VW based-AKA the Nova for Europe. Also a Prova Countach built some 30 Yrs ago and sold on, only to re acquire it 4 years ago and doing a refresh on everything presently! Getting new leather interior beginning next week. One day I'd like to do a channel as well, but I'm a little tech challenged! Cheers, and good luck with the build! I'll be watching!
G'day Edward, thanks for the support, couple of interesting projects you have built there. The channel does require a broad set of skills if you intend to do it all yourself, but there are plenty of opportunities to outsource as well. I've really enjoyed developing the new skills myself. Hope you enjoy the build series!
this is great!
beautiful. good job. show, man.
Thanks Sergio!
I stumbled on your channel somehow and as a fellow Aussie which I assume you are I'm really looking forward to this build. My old boss had a GT40 which he raced and was a member of that club. I was lucky enough to have a drive on one occasion although the pedal box was a little too close for my 6' frame to heel and toe comfortably. Good luck with the build.
Thanks Graham, yes I'm in Melb. Appreciate the support!
This is the stage most kits end!
Watching The Fresh Beat Band as a very young child there was an episode where they bought a car not knowing they had to put it together themselves and that gave me the dream as a child to build my own car so I hope to someday get my own kit car
Great garage! Nice car!
Thanks James!
Can’t wait to see your progress. You might want to hang some blankets or carpet or something similar on the walls. It’ll help cut down on the hollow sound.
G'day Raceydog, I actually went looking for some carpet offcuts from my house build the other night to look at doing exactly that, believe it or not! Thanks for the support and suggestion.
Awesome to see this type of project in Australia! Clean workshop too, subbed :)
Thanks mate, appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy the build series.
Dang..even you subs. Love your r34 project dude.
Good job
This is awesome ,I’ve always wondered how to build one of these🔥
I hope you enjoy the series!
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..
A childhood dream come true!
@@BuiltbyDan I remember getting up on a Monday morning a long time ago and hearing that Chris Amon had won Le Mans in the original GT, such a thrill for a 19 year old fan!
Hi mate, I follow a lot of the American and British car building channels and I’m glad I finally ran into a Melbourne channel. Now I’m going to have to sub and catch up on the older contents. ✨✨👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Awesome, thank you!
Great.....👍
Dream Car! Liked and Subscribed!
Thanks for the support Ben. Hope you enjoy the build series.
Your garage is super clean i love it,you got a new subscriber (witch is me) "lol" for this built,thanks for sharing... thumb's up!
Thanks Dany! Appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy the build series.
Following from Melbourne 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart, hope you are fairing well in Lockdown 6.0! Great to have some local support.
Looking forward to see your build! Great garage , but I think you could use more lighting
Thanks MrZ, definitely looking to get some additional lights installed in the near future. Hope you enjoy the build series!
Watching from Hollywood, CA
G'day @Hunter Scott thanks for the support. Hope you enjoy the build series!
Just came across this...gt40 is my second favorite car.so subscribed to watch the build..my first favorite is the shelby Daytona...I live in canada and as far as I can see there is only 5 here...
Thanks for the support! Hope you enjoy the build series. I love the Daytona Coupe as well, it may be something I'd consider building after the GT40 🤔
Love your channel a lot of good info and work, I’ve got the RCR kit and will be running a 5.2l out of a 2017 gt350 I’m still looking into what transaxle I want to use I’m hoping to find a good automatic because I think it would be a beast with one.
Thanks for the support Jesus, all the best with your RCR build. Be interesting to see how you go with the auto transaxle.
This is my dream man!
I'd like to think a power plant from CID is in the works. :) Good look'n kit chief !
Thanks Gene!
You're my idol 😂, I'll be following you through this! One day I'll do the same!
🤣 thanks mate, appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy the build series.
I did the Lambo, as I am an artist and wanted one with my own twist. Stop by and have a look some time. I did put in 100 hrs of blocking as my glass was pretty wavey. Not high $$$ but I did well.
Wow.
All you have left to do is everything.
:-)
Wow impressive project, I'm subscriber 857 from South Africa 🇿🇦
G'day Dane, thanks for the support!
I never thought of that
I was watching you "unbox" it and look at all the cool parts and told my wife "THAT'S a cool kit" she said it was gonna take an awful big Christmas Tree to put that box under it. 😆 Got your power source figured out yet? One of the Aluminator mod crate engines would be super, all one big plug-n-play package. Not to mention all aluminum AND supercharged.
Sounds like you just need to buy a bigger tree! 🤣
I'm looking at going coyote engine, but would ultimately like to install 8 stack injection, so will be going with an n/a engine, not supercharged.
Argh...I hate it when the universe sends me epic build videos.....at the beginning of the build. God speed man, this is gonna be good!
🤣 the pain of waiting for the next episode to be released, right? I'll be looking to release a new episode every 2-3 weeks as I really only have weekends to work on it.
I live in international falls Minnesota way up on the Canadian border and in my former life I had a race shop around super dirt late models for Budweiser love engines love vehicles love cars I don't know if this is the first one that you've built but two things keep your shop clean and 30 minutes before you quit for the day make sure you wipe all your tools put them where they belong because it you spend more time hunting for tools if you don't know where they are but this is going to be really fun to watch and I hope that you put out videos with the progress because when you get done with this thing when you get it on the road it's going to be an instant Woody
And thank you for keeping your floors clean the last thing that I did before I shut the lights off at the end of the night was mop the floor
Thanks Bernard, appreciate the support and words of advice. I do enjoy having a clean workspace! I sweep / vacuum every night and mop as required. I'll be documented the full build assembly and covering any challenges/issues I come across along the way.
Nice nice nice nice nice 👌
Subscribed. I couldn't find the manufacturer kit you used. My plan is to get a non-rolling chassis and I assemble suspension/drivetrain to meet local transportation laws.
G'day Darin, Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia. I'm currently working on a new episode to run through the kit in more detail, as well as the 3 stages it is available in, I just opted to purchase all three stages at once.
Subscribed👌
Thanks Jerome!
Please, for the ease of watching for new subscribers, fix the playlist from first to last, because now it's the other way around.
Looking forward to the progress.
This is going to be fun! 👍🏻
G'day Paul, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into that. Hope you enjoy the build series.
@@BuiltbyDan Maybe look at numbering the episodes.
@@jonmarsden1366 good idea Jon, I'll try that and see if it helps with the ordering too. Thanks for the tip.
just found this , am looking forward to see the build commence , what engine is going in ?
G'day alex, thanks for the support, first episode where I actually commence the build will be coming out in a few weeks time, currently working on it! Looking at a coyote engine for it.
Lfa v10 would be nice 😁
Duuuude!
Curious how your going to manage and track all the tasks you now have to get through?
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! 🤣
Hi Dan, I’ve subbed to your channel and I’m looking forward to watching your build. I’m a huge fan of the Shelby cars, GT40, Cobra, and Daytona. I was planning on getting a Cobra from FFR but after watching the first few of your videos I’m wondering who made the GT40 kit you’re building?
G'day Steve, thanks for the sub! The kit is manufactured by Absolute Pace in Queensland, Australia. Will cover more details about what's included in the kit in my next episode.
Look hot in that cockpit already and there’s no V8 in there yet 😁
Please just fix the audio. Definitely gonna follow this. I built a Factory Five Cobra about 15 years ago and it was satisfying. Good luck.
Thanks for the support. Working on the audio, it's frustrating me just as much!
Hey Dan I just stumbled across your videos and watched them all straight away as I would like to also build a GT40 in the not too distant future. I really like the look of the package you have purchased. Are you able to fill me in on the supplier you purchased from?
G'day Wade, I'll be covering the details of the kit in my next video as well as running through all the parts that come in the kit and the different stages it can be purchased in. The kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland.
My dad just bought a GT40 kit that somebody started. It's got a formula 1 engine and trans and runs. I'm not sure what chassis it's on it's got real GT40 wheels breaks etc. It's basically an authentic GT40 with a replica body. Cool car the drivetrain alone is worth more than what he payed but still a lot of work left to do.
G'day Gary, that sounds like an awesome setup! Would love to see a video of it driving!
Gear shift on the right or in the middle ? Is that a choice you can make when ordering ? Great videos , mate . Good luck , it will be so good to watch you progress through it . This does it for me so much better than an Ultima - all respect to the Ultima and it's fans and builders .
G'day Greg, thanks for the support! The supplied shifter can be mounted in either location.
I want one.
Hi Dan just tuned in to your build it will be great I see you bought a gearbox but if you have problems check out Hollinger gear box an Australian company building trans axle gearbox
Thanks for the recommendation mate. Hope you enjoy the build series.
Well on side off the country you will have a much easier time building your car it would a nightmare to build in Western Australia
Are you going to keep the shifter to the right of the driver in the door sill?
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.
You need to Mike yourself my dude! Props from BC Canada.
Thanks for the suggestion! I used a wireless mic in my latest video but still managed to stuff the audio when listening on some devices! Working to sort it out for next release. All a learning process!
Great build ! How long do you think it will take to complete ? Is it just you doing most of the work ?
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 CZcams, 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.
Thank you for showing. What company did you go with for the replica the boxing and packaging looks clean
The kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia.
So you watched FORD vs Ferrari and you decided the GT40 is the best car to have? So did I but I am still saving my funds LOL. Cant wait to see this thing being build.
All started well before the movie for me, but the movie definitely did make me go back and revisit the idea of building one... and here I am!
In addition to the mic tip, I recommend getting a gimbal for the camera. It reduces the shaking of the video by quite a lot. Looking forward to more videos from You. New subscriber from San Francisco, Calif.
Thanks for the recommendation Ray, I'll have a look into them.
is that alloy box all that's protecting you in a frontal impact?
There are some chassis extension panels that are installed in front of that boxed section, but structurally that box will take most of it.
Super Happy I found your channel. Can’t be inexpensive to build one of these beauties Down Under. What power train did you decide to use?? Who is the manufacture? Thanks
G'day Dave, nothing is cheap here in Australia with all the import duties and taxes! Going with a coyote and graziano transaxle. The kit is manufactured by Absolute Pace in Queensland, Australia.
@@BuiltbyDan thanks for the reply. Can you tell me in US $ what the kit cost? Thanks
@@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!
I'm stunned at how clean and empty your garage is. Is this home or did you get a place for the build?
G'day whelk, yes this is my home garage. I cleared everything out of it and storing it under my house where I have a large storage area so I had a clean area just for this build.
Curious to know where one buys a complete kit car like this within Australia? Or did you buy this kit internationally?
There are actually a few local Australian kit car manufacturers that produce GT40s an Cobras. This one is from Absolute Pace in Queensland. I'll be providing a more detailed overview of all the parts that are included in my next episode.
I can only imagine what the seller told Dan to get him to buy this .
Where is did you buy the kit from, after viewing your videos, I'm inspired to build one
G'day Lee, the kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia. I provide more details in my latest episode, as well as a link to their website in the description.
Awesome channel Dan can I ask where did u buy the kit from
G'day Adam, this kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia. There's a link to their website in the video description. 👍
You should install a lift before you start. Really looking forward to watching the progress.
I've opted to build the car on chassis stands that I've had welded up, this is in line with the manufacturers recommendations (they supply a sketch of a chassis stand suitable to support the vehicle whilst it is being assembled)
@@BuiltbyDan That makes sense, needs to be on a perfectly flat square surface. Who is the manufacturer of this kit? Seems very well made.
The kit is manufacturer by Absolute Pace in Queensland, Australia.
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.🙂
Wow that look's like a super cool project! Who make's the kit and is it available in the USA? Looking forward to seeing your progress.
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!
where did you order from need this in my life
Where did you buy the kit from, it looks fantastic.
G'day Paul, the kit is from Absolute Pace in Queensland, Australia.
Question : Could you have hung the front clip on the wall ? That would save some space ...
That is a possibility. You'll note in my latest episode I have all the body panels sitting on a pallet in the back corner or the garage. I've sat all the panels on the pallet the way the manufacturer recommends to avoid them warping out of shape.
interested to see this come together, sorry if i missed but did you purchase the chassis with components or have youv collected everything personally ?
G'day Cheese Pizza, all the components came as part of the kit. There are various stages to the kit that can be purchased individually as you progress with the build, but I chose to order them all up front. Hope you enjoy the build series.
@@BuiltbyDan subbed
Dan could you list who makes this kit in your notes? Thanks
G'day Leslie, working on another video to provide some more details on the kit and will be sure to link their website in the description. The kit is from Absolute Pace.
I am really looking for building one myself., Can you mention where you buy it from
Absolute Pace in Queensland Australia.
Great project Dan, looking forward to the progress, get your self a wireless mic set up as the sound is a little hard to hear. I got the robe set up and works well on my channel :)
G'day and thanks for the support and feedback. I literally just received my wireless Rode mic today!
@@BuiltbyDan ahhh sweet good to hear👌🏽🤙🏾
@@BuiltbyDan Great stuff, my mate used to weld up all the gt 40 chassis down in Dromana for the roaring 40's co I almost ordered one too ;) Who are you using for engineering?
@Demop Garage I'm still trying to get a hold of Enkelman in the South East suburbs as they are familiar with this kit having engineered many of their cobras and a few GT40s in the past few years.
@@BuiltbyDan ahhh right on👌🏽 yeh should be too hard to get it all done then😉
