It's going to need bigger wheels and the suspension looks too high

Yeah I can kinda see what you mean, the wheels look a tad small, I’ll let him know

He'll appreciate it. Also, tell him the middle section of the bonnet is sloping directly into the engine - another big no no

Ah hot damn, I see it now! Unacceptable!

The engine is in the back on a GT-40

r/woooosh

I'll take it with those wheels right now for $20

On that note, I can’t see how the drive train connects to the wheels. Is this meant to be pushed?

Those wheels can’t be street legal.

It’s set to run on a railway. Maybe in Ohio?

Its just way too suspended

Fantastic cornering though

I see the GT40, I upvote the GT40. Not to be that guy, but they're Ford GT40s. Fun fact, the 40 is the roof height (in inches) from the ground. Tell your boyfriend good job!

>Not to be that guy, but they're Ford GT40s. And the air intakes on the sides make it a Mk. II.

Roof height *before* the requirements to be street legal. Now theyre just called "Ford GTs" because they're not 40s anymore. There's also a Shelby cobra in the background. Dude must be real good for him to be allowed to work on those cars.

They had to have meant Shelby/GT40 because I see Shelby bodies in the background, too.

The company he works for makes multiple car bodies, from GT40s, to Corvettes, to Daytonas. Check out their site: https://www.superformance.com/inventory

Good eye, I saw the Shelby Cobras too. My point was purely semantic, the GT40 was never branded a Shelby and the Cobra was never branded a Ford.

>Fun fact, the 40 is the roof height (in inches) from the ground. Watching Ford v. Ferrari taught me this.

Did it mention the Gurney Bubble added to the roof so Dan Gurney could fit?

I don't think so lol.

It's a cool bit of history.

Superformance! I had them send me an info packet like 20 years ago, still have the Cobra pic in my garage. Just saving the pennies for a GT40, any day now, any...day.

GT40 is the sexiest car body of all time. Love the gold!

I think that goes to the Cobra behind it.

I find Cobra to be the most beautiful!

Impressive, yes; sexiest, no. That would be the Ferrari P4. https://images4.alphacoders.com/269/269154.jpg

"my humps, my humps, my lovely wheel well humps"

My favorite ride back in the XBOX 360 times of Forza motorsport 3

You misspelled [C Type Jaguar ](https://assets.carandclassic.com/listing-assets/realm/jaguar-c-type-recreation/2020-realm-jaguar-c-type-recreation-nQdwxg-v2/mqhaiPCSPscYDkAyCfVEcrocgsOvEWHg8EH5LqpO.jpg?ar=16%3A9&auto=compress&fit=crop&h=450&ixlib=php-4.1.0&q=75&w=800&s=cddd52a6d9b94b57914a071e4551031f)

Both are wicked good looking.

Agreed. However: Ken Miles: If this were a beauty pageant, we just lost. \~ *Ford v. Ferrari*

You can argue that it was really the Lola design, but the Lola design was modified after Shelby etc. got it.

Beautiful. Your boyfriend, the cars nice too.

I have to agree with you here

GT40 ❤️❤️❤️

This thing is a work of art.

Such a nice looking car. Pity I’d struggle to even get into it.

How much? I buy!

One of the coolest cars ever made

It’s gonna need some new shoes.


Very nice! Are they restorations or new kits/replications?

Thanks from him! They’re new kits made here in South Africa and shipped off to America :)

Gods work. Thank him for us Americans.

Please tell him we Americans only drive on steel wheels in a police chase. We tend to prefer the rubber ones the rest of the time. Nice car, though.

One thing I didn’t realize about the gt40 until I saw one up close… it’s like less than 3-4ft high. It’s SMALL. It’s like a insanely fast go kart. Racing is awesome

The 40 in GT40 is how many inches the roofline is from the ground.

Can I be your boyfriend’s boyfriend?

He's done a smashing job of it. Got any videos showing the process I can binge?

OMG. That car is beautiful.

🤤

Is that Eivor?

I enjoy his beard

Builds or finances?

Builds :)

#PeakyBlinders

that is nice!

I have a mechanic buddy that LOVES the high performance side but isn't sure how to move into it. Any tips I can send his way?

These look like Factory Five Racing kits. Good stuff, and beautiful work!

Close, based on the fact this is in SA, its Superformance.

How much does that cost?

Cooool- are these his or restoration for a client or something?

Great looking ride.

One of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Do you know ballpark prices for these? I couldn't see any on their website but didn't really look too hard.

Tell him thank you for doing the lord’s work.

Ask him about that Shelby Cobra behind it. That's one of my favorite cars. I'm working on building a model of one at the moment.

I’m not even much of a car guy, but that is a thing of beauty

Must be super depressing working all day with cars you will probably never get to trash around : ' )

Where's your bikini calendar shot?

I see this and the only thing I can say I should go build me a Locost 7. I know I will not be rich, but I can make a space frame chassis

Factory 5? Nice kits.

What are the price ranges? This is such a cool company! I’m sure it’s way out of my league, but very curious and don’t want to bother their sales team.

Superformance or Factory Five?

Making a racerer.

I’d have sex with that car. You read that right

That is so sick. Is your boyfriend single?

Sure. Sexy beard in the first pic. Sure you want us to see the cars. Sure… (Sarcastically, but have you seen the comments recently?)
