Awesome job.
OMG Colin furze 😮😍
Yes he put lots of efforts on this video like u do U both are legends
Hi Colin! This amazing car project is like your tunnel project. Takes a lot of time =). Best wishes for you both.
It's the tunnel guy from the tunnel channel. How's the tunnel, funny tunnel man?
My boy Colin ❤️❤️
I love how like 1000 hours of this is just planning and design. That's some high level professionalism.
Yeah seriously, I don’t have the patience for that when it comes to building cars lol
When you use any cad software, you have to spend the time to make sure that it works digitally before you implement it. It would mean thousands of more wasted hours if all that welding you did something wrong or made something that didnt work.
An Hour of Planning Can Save You 10 Hours of Doing (found somewhere, not coined by me :-)
Fail to plan then plan to fail.... Incompatent managers hate to see people planning ...but imagion all the hard work is actually doing the physical work.... Thats a great job...and what a skill set
it comes out a wash .... the damn car isnt that expensive! at his level of employment! if it was a house i could see it... wait until the first car runs a stop light??????good bye 4000 hours! edit it is a good job all the way around....
I think I shed a little tear when it all came together at the end… 😢 perfect, it’s just perfect! This - in my opinion - is more valuable than a multi million dollar car that some rich guy just walks in and buys… you built this with your own two hands, mad love ❤
Comment c'est possible de réunir dans un seul et même cerveau autant de capacités intellectuelles, manuelles, auto-apprentissage, CAO, toutes les techniques de la mécanique, de l'ingénierie automobile, de carrosserie, et par dessus tout, d'avoir le temps de faire toutes ces vidéos KZhead avec montage et le Timelapse final. Le tout, pour un rendu sublime. Mais quelle pugnacité, tu es brillant, bravo ! Hate de voir l'hypercar...
Merci beaucoup ça fait plaisir. La passion et la ténacité !
this is EASILY, the greatest homemade vehicle i have ever seen someone build. your attention to detail and design are inspiring.
This is proof that if you have the determination, you can do ANYTHING. Can't believe you actually made a GT40 from scratch. You got so much talent.
well, the original gt40 was also built from scratch. i definitely agree, though! also really cool to see the whole process in a video
Money*
@@palomito1502 if you actually have the determination then you can make the money to do this unless it's something very highly expensive
@@slattslattslatt2xxxxxxnxxxxtxxxxxxxxxxxkttçxkxcb,n
@@slattslattslatt So you're saying this isn't a very highly expensive stuff to do? Cause it is...
le mans 1966 - “It’s a truly lucky man, who knows want he wants to do in this world. ‘Cause that man will never work a day in his life. But there are a few, a precious few, and hell, I don’t know if they’re lucky or not. But there are a few people who find something they have to do. Something obsesses them. Something if they can’t do it, it’s gonna drive them clean out of their mind." And you just did it. Greatest respect.
Now this is something money can't buy.
Well you need money to build a car 😅
That's true, you can't buy joy and satisfaction.
it cost 15k to built it@@haydar1150
I mean, it literally cost a lot of money even if he had to do it himself.
@@jeffw8218 around 10k
This guy took "built not bought" to the next level. You have my respect.
@@tdcm666 try harder, kid
@@sepg5084 What?
It would've made more sense to buy one lol I mean there soo many Mistakes by him making that Frame
@@KILLVMINVTI He made it for himself Who are you to judge?
@@KILLVMINVTI he obviously could but having the feeling when youre using something you built out of scratch is unmatchable and the process if building it is enjoyable, i guess you could say
I'm so happy KZhead recommended me this!

Galil man appears again
hello!!
I am truly gobsmacked. I repair crashed vehicles as my description. Your dream coupled with your vision...then laid out on paper and then built...via stick welding....dude...you had me at HellO im'e delighted to see you drive your Workmanship! Dream! Keep doing what your doing bud!
You are a credit to our species. You and your team. Also my favorite car. To see it built from scratch and pure determination out of want is incredible to say the least. To see a thing or imagine it and say to oneself, I wish to behold that and then make it so from raw material is truly the work of a visionary and master craftsman! Salvador Dali is quoted to have said. “Those that refuse to imitate ,create nothing “ You my good man and comrades have done so flawlessly with great credit to the real McCoy and even in someways surpassing it, for yours to is made of dreams based on a dream so beautiful and worth dreaming for us all again . Truly an awe inspiring creation from thought to form . Thank you for sharing .
Projects like this RARELY get completed. This has got to be one of the BEST vehicle build accomplishments I’ve ever seen. Very happy and proud of you! Attention to detail is astonishing. Drive safe!
No one deserves a car this beautiful more than the guy who built it himself. Congratulations to you. I know you’re proud of it. Simply gorgeous!
How did you get thru the vid with the absolutely, incredibly annoying background noise?
Could not have said it my self
@@savage22bolt32 Mute it weirdo.
@@sanjuyon_ thank you so much for the advice!
Well said. Anyone born rich could just buy a rare example. Happy no White privilege comments here.
This guy giving off Ken Miles energy it is not a coincidence they both make the entire GT40 except the engine and transmission. Well deserved I hope you enjoy it for years to come.
Cher Benjamin , j'ai suivi la réalisation de votre projet ( insensé ) en 2017 étape par étape , vous êtes un génie pas de doute et que dire du modèle choisi la GT 40 , une légende ! Félicitations pour avoir surmonté tout ces obstacles et d'avoir réaliser un tel chef d'œuvre , votre talent en encouragera plus d'un à se lancer dans une telle aventure !
Merci beaucoup Claude
Not only did you make your dream car from scratch which looks absolutely phenomenal, but you also managed to capture everything on camera! Astounding!
I went to school for mechanical engineering science while I was in the Marine Corps, and got my ASE certs after getting out. From both a mechanical engineering perspective, as well as an automotive technical standpoint this is beyond impressive. Building a go-cart from scratch is fun, and only mildly difficult depending on your suspension, drivetrain, steering system, etc. However the mechanical strain and allowable tolerances increases exponentially as the size of the vehicle increases. The planning, dedication, and work that went into this is absolutely an outstanding achievement.
🙏
I attempted and failed this exact plan. Glad you made it, enjoy the dream.
Cool I am not old enough to drive but i'm already trying to find out how to make my dream car and I think it looks good but I think the the 3d designing website he used me would help does anyone know what it is?
@@jaws978which plan are you referring to? The guys career path?
join the corps, go to school while in, become a mechanical engineer. I ended up drinking, fokking too much to focus on education. Did however have the time of my life..@@Mawyman2316
That is a beautiful car. Watching you and your colleagues work shows you have skills and dedication. Then watching you drive shows you are channelling your inner Ken Miles. Nice job, man.
What a beautiful machine! You should all be proud of your hard work and accomplishment. Thank you for sharing you project.
Best 17 minutes I have spent on KZhead in a long time. Bravo, what a work of art. Took that whole ‘go big or go home’ really seriously. Bloody fantastic.
This brings car projects to a whole new level, I can't express how impressive this is. Very well done my friend!
Salute for making the whole car in just 17 minutes
Psychedelic trance and metal fabrication in one video.... Sublime.
It's hard to believe the level of talent this guy has. This covers such a wide range of things that you have to know so much about. I am speechless at what I just witnessed.
Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video. really insane job in a good way 🤩🤩
This isnt talent bro. It’s skill. The result of blood sweat and tears, thousands of hours of dedication. Talent is nothing when its not being taken care of.
@@janiewiemstary8710 Don't forget about natural talent! Some traits run within the blood. While you may task two similarly qualified mechanics/enigneers to complete the same task with the exact same tools, you'd receive different results. It's how the tools are being used and where.
Without a doubt, one of the most amazing passion projects I have ever seen. Incredible job not giving up. The sound, the style, the color. Awesome job
I am in awe of your work. Hats off, the result was so satisfying.
il n'y a pas de mots..! t'ayant suivi au début..perdu entre temps.... et retrouver cette vidéo , là, avec un projet abouti, merveilleux, réunissant tant de précision , envies, persévérance...et j'en passe..! et imaginer ta satisfaction de posséder une des plus belle voiture, qui plus est..fabriquée par toi..Bravo
Absolutely insane. If i hadn't seen the process, i'd have thought Ford produced a brand new batch of GT40s. The attention to detail is incredible and your skills are superb. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
A German guy approved the details, you passed the test bro 👍
@@210ANS haha i came here to say something similar :)

@Ex Japan there are lots of good experts out there but most offer little ROI's. I will advise trading with Mr Nicholas Burke-Gaffney's team as I make over $35,000 on average per month from their trading bots.
It’s one of the best projects I’ve ever seen in YT. Impressive! You built a car from scratch!! Congrats guys!
The excitment and happiness in your faces when you started it up and drove it around is just priceless! Glad i stumbled upon your amazing channel!!
this is the absolute best handmade project i’ve seen in quite a while You are an inspiration well done ✊ henry ford would be proud.

amazing build. only dedication and persistence can achieve this kind of project
And a couple million dollars worth of tools...
@@BoyFromMa certainly helps
@@BoyFromMa couple million dollars of tools is also dedication
Gift too. God have us all gifts. What's yours? What's your talent that makes you different from. Everyone?
@@xxbublebee123 God bless you, my child, talking about religion every minute, you must be fun at parties.
This is a great and inspiring documentary, just the clever filming setup to capture the critical developments over 4 years is an achievement in itself. But as someone mentioned previously it’s the ‘unseen’ cross-discipline engineering efforts, struggles, ‘lessons learned’ failures, and mini disasters that must’ve occurred across this epic project which all contribute to a successful outcome in the end.
Hi mate, I'm from Mauritius and I just want to say that your creation is perhaps one of the most beautifully crafted, by far one of the best builds I've seen on KZhead. My grandmother (MAMA) has complimented you for your endeavor. I was wondering what types of welding rod are you using ?
I've built cars almost 35 years now, congratulations on an excellent outstanding build. Truly wonderful my friend ❤
You?😂😂😂
@@petermartin4691 is there something your trying to say or can you only mange a word with some pictures ??
This has been my dream car since forever, I am 60+ and still dreaming, watching this video my jaw was on the floor. I hope you get many hours of well deserved enjoyment from your efforts. Merci beaucoup Benjamin.
i' m almost 60, I remember an article by Peter Egan of Road and Track from 30+ years ago... When he was a kid his dream cars were out of reach, after he was successful, they were still out of reach. Some things never change. Magnificent video, did the suspension geometry workout, that would be the scariest part for me.
I mean there are gt40 kits available now for reasonable price if you ever wanna get your hands dirty
@@navnoorsingh7969 indeed, and the best and most accurate is from Roaring 40s less than 50km ftom me, but I don't have the $. Maybe if I win lotto.
Incredible, the most technical and well-designed construction project I’ve ever seen. Congratulations...!!!
It’s really a pleasure to see an artist like you, consistency is the key of the success, you are the proof!
I was not expecting much from the beginning. Kit cars usually seem cheap. But holy cow. You are a mastermind. What a work of art and engineering you have put together. You could do anything. This is a masterpiece.
The fiberglass body parts are presumably from a kit (I don't know - I haven't watched the many other videos) but otherwise this is not a kit. It is a replica - is that what you meant by "kit"?
@@brianb-p6586 companies sell plans and designs to cars that you can buy some of it and build or assemble the rest yourself. There's some that are really cool and well designed, and others that aren't so much. For example, factory 5 racing makes/sells some really nice kit cars.
@@DevDog67 It's only a kit car if the kit supplier provides the design and the parts of all of the major components. The builder designed and built the frame and suspension himself; he didn't buy it as a kit of parts. The fiberglass parts came from an outside supplier (the builder isn't shown making them, and in #22 he mentions getting them from a French company), but that's not a whole car. The body supplier doesn't sell a car kit, only a body kit.
@@brianb-p6586 right - this isn't a kit car build video at all. This surpasses that easily.
@@DevDog67 for the conception of the car he took a lot pictures of GT 40 and he used them to build all exept the body parts
Quite possibly one of the most amazing KZhead videos I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant work! I can't imagine the sense of pride at driving it having made it, from scratch, yourselves. Well done.
Totally agree 👍
Just incredible, so many skills you have mastered. Incredible!! 👏👏
I was watching in awe the entire video. This my friends, this man is living proof that if we set our mind to do something, we will achieve it. You just have to put in the effort. Even revisiting this video after 2 years, it still makes me believe that whatever dream we have, don't just let it be a dream. Make it a reality. Thank you for this video Benjamin. Hats off to all who were involved in this project.
and here i am thinking restoring a Mustang is hard. I can't imagine fully custom building a GT40 literally from the ground up! Great work! It looks amazing!
Man you got all the proportions exactly accurate its really amazing how you were so dedicated to this build, hope it gives you the best memories for the future
seat is on the wrong side so he missed that
nice
@@randyreynolds4252 the GT 40 was designed by ford which is an American car manufacturer, so no, technically he didn’t put the driver seat on the wrong side
@@ethandean206 Actually the steering wheel is indeed on the wrong side. REAL GT40s were RHD.
BENJAMIN SOIT FIER DE TOI. C'EST LE MEILLEUR CAR HOMEMADE QUE J'AI VU DANS LE MONDE ENTIER. J'ESPÈRE VOIR D'AUTRES GRAND PROJETS AVEC TOI. T'ES ASSEZ TALENTUEUX ET OUTILLÉ POUR FAIRE PLUS DE MERVEILLES.👋
That car turned out great! The video production is on the same level. REALLY, really, nice.
This... is just insane, making an iconic sportscar from scratch is just mind blowing.. full respect 👏🏼
its not actually from scratch
@@runnerpizza-bn8ln I consider it scratch enough, done in a garage with tapes and box steel, crazy.
yea okay
@@runnerpizza-bn8ln just one body kit, and a garbage Audi...
@@jean-noelthomas thats a stolen car right there buddy. Dont mind it. It will be destroyed in a little bit because of the lawsuit Ford will take on this guy XD
The world needs more of this! Hard work and dedication really pays off, and you deserve every smile this dream brings your way. Congratulations on a beautiful build!
110% amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. Such an enormous feat... You're awesome. Thank you for the journey.
once in a lifetime build.......awesome work
This might be the most impressive thing I have seen on all of KZhead. The patience, knowledge and skills that it took to recreate such an iconic car from the ground up is amazing but then you filmed it all so that we could follow along. Thank you for that.
Content de t'avoir découvert alors que la voiture n'étais que quelques dizaines de tubes pointés ensembles. Au final 4000h c'est assez peu quand on voit le boulot qu'il a fallu! Juste bravo!
One of the best videos on you tube, incredible build
Wow man! It’s my favourite car of all time. Amazing build. Your skills and passion are unmatched
Had my doubts at the beginning, but this guy did it and it's a beauty. Congrats.

Absolutely amazing !!! You literally built this GT40 from scratch with raw tubing, welding and a few specialized parts without a fancy jig or anything. This takes real skills with time, engineering, effort, patience and money to build this. This was not a kit, this was / is a build. Congratulations very much !!!!!!!
Question so what about rust and the body structure
@@chriswright8074 He had the frame tubbing all powder coated so yes it is rust proof… Besides that who in their right mind will drive such a nice car in rain or snow!
@@chriswright8074 I would assume it will be powder coated on the framing and the structure as raw steel will rust. Aluminum will be left alone. Body panels will be painted.

ÉNORME !!! 😳 félicitations 👍😉
I'm just amazed by the sheer sense of professionalism and effort that went into building this from scratch. I was grinning at listening to the sound of the car running on the road. You are amazing mister. Kudos to you and great success ahead.
Holy hell the amount of time and dedication put into making this absolute masterpiece respect dude also you have good taste in cars 👌
I’m honestly blown away that he literally made everything! The shifter, the suspension, the muffler,etc it’s very interesting to see how all those things are designed!
Quelles sensations de dingue t'as du ressentir. T'es un exemple mec
This has been just about the coolest 17 minutes and 15 seconds of my day. I will have to go back and watch all the other videos to see more detail. Great work and some serious ingenuity on display!

OMG you've done an awesome job!!!! I was thinking to myself that maybe you should have used more triangulation in the chassis, but then I gave myself an uppercut once I realised I would never be able to work through such a massive, ambitious project. your skills are amazing, but your planning, hard work, and resolve are even more impressive.
Amazing work my friend! Thank you for showing us what a master can do! Congratulations on your well deserved success!
I clicked on this thinking I might skip through and watch a couple minutes of it… I ended up watching the entire thing and absolutely loving it! Incredible job 👏🏻👏🏻 you have my respect 100%. I have to ask- what was the most challenging part of the build?
but: v
He has made a whole playlist of vids (about 70 videos or so) on this project. He said in one of them that the most painful and tiring part was everything prior to the production of the car, basically the planning and the design (that correspond to roughly 1000 hours of work).
Watched from the beginning till the end… I’m absolutely stunned and amazed about the amount and quality of work… Your GT40 looks, sounds and I believe behaves on the top level, like it should! Great work man! Lot’s of respect!!!
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen. Absolutely inspirational, well done! 👏🏻👏🏻🤟🏻
Well done brother, you are the most skilled person that I have ever seen. Truly an inspiration!
