He put a late model mustang rear end in it for one thing.

This was a homage to Ford GT-40 kit on a VW chassis. Fiberfab in Sunnyvale Ca. Ultimate sheep in wolf's clothing. Best wishes to the project
figaro808
And I thought that I had a reason to be proud of my 84 CRX project... PS! Love your project!
16sosspectre
My dream car from the 60'S. GT-40 dreams on a bug budget YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB fabricating. Keep us posted
chrishallett83
You uh... you gonna put any triangulation in that chassis? Gonna plate those cut bends? Great job ditching the VW garbage, but do it right.
hatertotsandcranchops
I recognize that rear subframe, putting one in a 67 camaro restomod build im doing!

This shop is amazing looking

Oh cool. A Fiberfab Avenger. They were only made for a few years in the mid 60s and their national meet was in Carlisle PA last weekend.

They apparently go for next to nothing https://fiberclassics.org/avenger/

Where's the completed pic? Now I have a case of blue balls.

Go Speed Racer!

Yikes. At $1/hour you might be better off buying one in mint condition. Labor of love!

This build won't compare performance wise, stay tuned for the rest of the build.

I need a follow button doh

What is planned?

Bruh that's the Mach 5.

I need so many more pictures and notes on this. It's awesome!
Bex316
The front top A-arm inner pivot needs to move down, the current arrangement will induce positive camber under load. Otherwise awesome!
begonedouche
its a massive undertaking, is it possible to restore like new? I do look forward to seeing more progress, thanks for posting.
mbparcell24
Good luck with that. I hope you have deep pockets.
TheSkyOpenwide
Woah. Saw the engine and got excited. Keep us posted.

The use of a walkie stacker as a lift frightens me deeply.

Is there a monkey... and a small child in the trunk

Unbeknownst to Speed, racer X is his older brother Rex, who ran away from home years ago.

Logged in just to upvote this comment. My hubby used to look like Speed Racer! Love it!

Thank you

That's a lot work. Nice work, chum!
PizzaIsAlwaysTheAnswer
Can someone explain to my friend what's going on? I'm guessing its some sort of restoration...

Check my info 6 postscomments up.

Buy shitty GT40 shaped lump of plastic, throw away shitty bits and make new chassis out of goddamn girders.
bagel69
It's an engine and chassis swap
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
So basically a new car?
bagel69
These cars were just VW Beetles but with a replica gt40 body. They're just getting rid of all the crappy VW parts so it's actually cool lol
Janusha
Insane to start spending time and money restoring something that was itself a copy, a replica, that has no value and is rotten to the core
Hubb
Its a hobby, not really the worst use of time tbh. Anyone this good at restoring old cars is a great person to know on mechanical stuff
thekirk
VW...? Really? Try "Chevy Corvair"... That engine's pulley system is pretty 'effing unique.
bagel69
I wasn't really sure. I know that VW chassis were very popular for kit cars so I thought it was that
OliviaWilde1234
No idea what I'm looking at but +1

The original is the greatest American endurance car ever, designed and built by Ford in England. This kit is based on a German chassis and>
CWStJdeNobbs
> using a GM engine... I love it, I know someone who it will send apoplectic though lol.
CWStJdeNobbs
Like the changes, aren't showing him that though ?
Janusha
Designed and built FOR Ford in England. BY Lola. Using a Ford engine only. The project was lead by Aston Martins LeMans boss.
CWStJdeNobbs
At the end of the day Ford paid for it and all IP rights, officially it's theirs. McLaren are smarter on that.
Janusha
Since this every single Ford GT has been built by the Brits. Including the 2004 and 2017 versions. But americans still claim them as theirs,
CWStJdeNobbs
I'm British, just done contract work. And nah, 2004 model was by Saleen and Ford and built in the Ohio and Michigan, 2017 in Ontario
Janusha
Im... An expert on these things and I cannot even begin to explain how wrong that is. Saleen had nothing to do with it. These are american--
itchyanditchy
Is that a SHO motor? Cool choice.
SpiceBot
I thought it was cool, then I saw the nest of snakes. That thing is gonna rip!
goblinofstoichiometry
Yamahammer for the win!
deathclamfive
Is there a difference between that and the F150 motor? Both 3.5L Ecoboost engines. Maybe just a different tune?
turfdraagster
Yamaha for the win!
readyplayer0ne
Came to say that exact thing.
cotusperformance
It is , I am a SHO nut at heart so I figured this would be a cool application since you can see the motor through the rear glass.
wilb33
S550 rear subframe and suspension?
JeffGodofBiscuits
I had a '92, last of the 5 speeds. Great cars, excellent motor choice
istealthepixelsfromreposts
Was that a corvair motor that was used before?
StrelkaNOTBelka
Definitely Corvair, I recognize the belt drive
MotherFukaJonez
That would look pretty damn cool.
