Dude is a mad scientist with his cars, love it
I agree
Rolling artwork for sure!
With a sense of style
@@yaboiterumi1904 👍
roof scoop is pointless the way he did it. It just adds drag
Beautiful machine
Love the fact someone used carbon instead of fiberglass
This builder has knocked out of the park two outstanding builds.Great content again Shawn, thank you for showcasing some of the worlds greatest drivable custom street art.
Wrong.
@@Gma7788 stfu and go build one then.
Seeing this guy's passion and innovation just makes me dread a world of EVs
Lemme help you out.... EVs for the commute and these cars for the weekend & track. Simple
@@vannevels6758 In a perfect world but they will make combustion emissions completely illegal. And people will let them, we have been voting away our rights since 1777.
@@torsteinrocks I SERIOUSLY doubt that'll happen anytime soon here in AmeriKKKa. So what rights have "we voted away" that you miss most and why since you mentioned it?
I will never daily an EV get that crap outta here
@@vannevels6758 wake up silly. Israel owns america, not whites.
That GT40 is wicked. I love all the custom touches he's put into it and that sound is awesome!!
And to think a massive mudslide could have ended it! Such an amazing build. Chris has true talent.
Glad to see Shawn is back in videos ride along/driving. This guy has a vision for sure bad ass build
Where did Shawn go, or did something happen??
Best car you’ve ever shot. Period. Chris is a phenomenal builder i truly admire his work
Watched this build slowly get finished on instagram, it’s a work of art
Sounds like an old NA Ferrari V8. The 348 comes to mind! Incredible build & it looks mouthwateringly amazing 😮💨🔥🔥
To me it sounds like a S2000 and Ferrari had a baby
Very exotic sounding for sure
@@fread51 lol I can see that!
This guy's vision, is something else! Awesome stuff !
That has to be one of the best looking cars I’ve seen in my life
My hat is off to whoever fab'd up the manifold, there's probably weeks of work in just that alone......
This is probably the most incredible gt40 build I’ve seen. I’m in love! I’m a sucker for some bad ass lighting! Not to say the rest of the mods are any less incredible. Crazy build!
This is by far one of the best whip’s you have showcased. Absolutely insane! 🤯
There’s not one single bit of this build that I’d change. From body to paint to wheels to motor to exhaust she’s absolutely perfect the way she was built!! Wish I had one for myself!
Wow, this guy's fabrication skills are unreal. Amazing sound on that thing... looks like a blast.
Chris is so frickin humble. And you can tell how much fun he has with the builds.
The car we all have been waiting on
Truly living the dream 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🤤🤤 dude what! Lol yeah he really meant it when he didn't want it sounding like another fast aluminator, this thing sounds like no other. Long gear greatness lol probably hitting 50 to 60 mph in first gear😄
Overall I'm in love with this thing, the design, the hard labor, the patience, the passion, the determination, the skill. Much respect to this man. Smh still got goosebumps after the video lol guys on automotive Crack man tf! #greatbuild
Yup, 60mph in first. Three digits in second gear by redline. Pulls really, really hard above 4500 rpm.
Love the sound of that big Ford. That exhaust system looks crazy. The bodywork and additions are stellar. Obviously beyond the range of most if us but a super cool car. Looks like a great car to drive and ride in. Be safe and stay well.
*AutotopiaLA* Wicked Ride, thanks fellas for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
Followed this build on IG, absolutely stunning in every way, especially those headers and the sounds they emit. Music to my ears. The color, the wheels, really everything about this car is absolutely perfect.
This guy is really a master. He deserve a big success in car built business.
You did very well with this showcase. Very good choice. Extremely rad car..
That sounds amazing, Chris is so good with his builds!
Good to see Shawn back in business! The builds are awesome, big props
Right hand drive w/Right hand shift? Outstanding!
"This is the exhaust...Oh, YES IT IS!!!" I'm still chuckling. Another great car from Ruffian.
Now that is a fine and creative build. Love it!
Sick AF. Dude is a master at his craft. I wanna build one now!!
I LOVE IT!!!! SO BADASS & SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Chris knocked it out of the ballpark with this car.
I love the drive by wire mod 🤯 that was such a simple unique mod that I’ve never seen or heard of. That’s awesome.
Genius creative move there
The absolute best of a resto race car it is wicked
Wow just wow, absolutely beautiful and that sound!
Whoa that's an awesome car. The headlights and air intake give off a huge Mclaren F1 vibe if you squint. Way to modernize an almost 60 year old design!
He took the perfect original and did a killer upgrade
His final product from conceptual is on par with billion dollar engineering firms making the same parts. Absolutely incredible. He's definitely a professional in this field, or comes from it. I don't even see the most popular supercar mod shops making this quality.
It's absolutely insane car. Wow!
Absolutely amazing!
That drive by wire cable fix is genius
He’s so damn creative
I’m 2 min in and I already know this is the most impressive car you guys have ever featured. Impressive shit!!! Love this thing!
Chris is an absolute wizard. I have been a fan of his for years. I am working to get this man to build me a car🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The headers and exhaust are siccc! Wow what build💯🙌✌
One of the best gt40 i ever see!!! Very good job it looks soooooo fantastic! The rear wheels are so cool, i think i love this car!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
You’re English works fine. I understand you and love this car too!
This GT40 Dream Machine really stands atop the mountain of legendary cars in a very narrow circle. Not only for the fact of what it is as a GT40 Beast Build; but the entire execution, fit and finish of the build, engineering and sheer class of performance and quality. This thing brings tears to my eyes as one of the most jaw dropping car builds I've ever seen in my life, one of one barely begins to describe this Gem of a car... It is otherworldly perfect, the history and legacy and the countless upgrades to the famous formula and the way it all comes together. One of those things man that makes you appreciate being alive today for truly just how god damn perfect this piece of automotive art could be. Stellar cinema
Absolutely bonkers of craftsmanship! There isn't enuff road to go through all the gears!! So bad azz!!
My Favorite GT40!! That thing is the stuff of dreams!!
True car goals 🔥🔥🔥
Fabulous work. The stuff of dreams
Wrong.
@@Gma7788 eh?
Very cool car! Chris is crazy talented!!
Thx Shawn
I deeply approve of EVERYTHING with this build. What a machine!!!
RSD with a RSD shifter now that's cool! 💯🏁
Very very nicely done!
Unreal talent.
Astounding Wood Elf craftsmanship!
The gearing makes the car. I love how much better it sounds then a short gear setup, what a great car.
Yes, it sounds like it belongs on the race track this way.
I respectfully disagree. I don’t think it needs to be a lot shorter, just a little bit would make it much more fun to drive. Plus you’d hear more of the rev range. Either way amazing machine.
Glad you're back in action Shawn. Maaaan, Chris builds SICK cars but this one must be right up there. Maybe this should be the new benchmark for GT40's. That cross-plane crank does it's job. Whole car is just straight up badass and bitchin' ride. Great video, thanks 👍🏻 👊🏻
One of my favorite builds so far - love it!
WOW!!! Just wow! Chris is just so talented!!! Cannot wait to see this one in person!
Man, that's usually not my style of car (I usually like muscle cars), but that's well done!
"Don''t modify it's perfect the way it is" Well I believe he has the right idea, if it ain't broke, Modify it anyway! I've said it before, people should build what moves them, and them alone. If it puts a smile on your face every time you get in it, it don't matter what anyone else thinks. Also, glad you're back in the game Shawn, we missed you!
incredible build!! exhaust sounds to incredible
OUTSTANDING! Well thought and very well executed.
That thing sounds like the love child of a GT 350 & a Ferrari! Awesome build!
joey mcc - yes!
That revving up to redline is awesome! Love that sound!
That car absolutely sick. What an amazing build. Awesome work Chris
OMG! That reeks pure racing! It was built absolutely Perfect!
Love this car! I was surprised to see how much the hood shook while driving it. Do all GT40’s do that?? I think it would make me nuts
They do. He’s working on a lightweight structural support to eliminate that shake which drives him nuts as well
The only thing I don't like, is that I will never get to drive it.
That’s badass Shawn. Great video and great to see you’re healed up and doing well.
That might be the sickest looking car I've ever seen. It doesn't have a bad angle. 👌👌👌
bro don't let Manny koshbin see this car he'll probably make you sell it to him!! lol This is by far one of the best ford builds I've ever witnessed on CZcams. This car looks like a demonic whale wait to swallow its next road victims. fucking bananas I LVOE IT!!
Good grief just when you think he’s gonna shift it just keeps on climbing. It looks just ridiculously wide, I bet it feels so planted to the ground. Awesome build, that dude looks like a humble surfer not a bitchin car builder 👍
Yesss! He Gotta be hitting 60+ in first gear alone lol
Guy changed the whole demeanor of the aluminator block. Incredible!
Bet it does a lot more than 60 in first.
As a comparisons I had a buddy in high school back in the 70’s with a ‘69 Z28. He could hit 60 in first with a 4.11 rear gear and the close ratio Muncie which had a tall 2.20 first gear. He had to spin it to over 7000 to hit 60 and ended up spinning a bearing.
@@danmyers9372 dope man, the man himself commented on my other comment lol he says he's definitely hitting triple digits in 2nd gear lol
Humble surfer come bitchin’ car builder sums up Chris perfectly... 🤣🤣🤣
That’s the sound of heaven. Simply outstanding.
はろー
Bonjour
Hola!
great build! Appreciate the builders spin on a classic; particularly those exhaust pipes.
Absolutely wonderful!
Sick as hell! Guy did a great job, nice to see an original take on this car!
This bredda is a genius. I love the build
That guy is a hell of a builder!!!!...Great Review!!
Ford Gt is the best car ford ever made. In my humble opinion.
Simply amazing
Awesome to see such a build, perfect choice of looks and mechanicals that modernizes but stays true to the original spirit. Would love to hear it flat out on a track..
Been waiting on a review/overview of this car
Drooling over this build
This is absolutely awesome.. Insane!
Both those cars are PERFECT.
The sound is unreal wow!!!! Insane level of craftsmanship here
Love the sound. Love everything he did on this and I know he’s still sorting through things
このカスタムSEMAショーのニュースで気になってたんです。メチャクチャかっこいい！アップロードありがとうございます！
Both cars are so bad ass. Im with you on the right hand drive and right hand shift. Didnt even know that was possible. Very cool build!
It's a cable trans, in theory you could mount the shifter to the roof if you wanted
What an incredible build
A radical GT40 build is the answer to the question we didnt realize we needed to ask! This is sick! this dude's vision for building cars is next level! The color! The widebody! The wheel/tire combo!
this thing makes all the right sounds..! Hell yeah..
Instantly one of the BEST looking machines I've ever seen.. ever.
Simply the BADDEST thing I have ever saw!!!! Automotive art.
Exceptional for sure
This is what i like about this channel. You have always a nice surprise for us. Beautiful car and the owner have a clear vision.
Potentially the most beautiful thing I ever did see!
Awesome rendering of a gt40!
I'm a huge fan of the GT40, he did a good job with this one, love it!!!
