Holman Moody is Building The LAST Original Ford GT40 MKII Chassis In The World! (Insane History)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Holman Moody the legendary NASCAR powerhouse of the 1960s and 1970s still exists! Lee Holman (son of co founder John) owns and operates the historical beacon of awesomeness in Charlotte NC. They are grinding cams daily on the ORIGINAL machines from the 60's. Back in the early 80's Lee purchased all remaining inventory of GT40 mkii chassis and parts from Tennant Panels in England. Sitting on this inventory for quite a while they were eventually able to start manufacturing vintage legal legitimate gt40s exactly how they were made back in the day. Using vintage parts or recreated pieces from original molds these cars are nut and bolt identical to the ones from the famous 24 hours of LeMans success in the 60's!

Stapleton42-To start out with, your content is the very best and thanks so very much for sharing it with us! I was an licensed aircraft mechanic for over thirty five years and I worked on general aviation aircraft and WW2 aircraft also. The switches and wire terminals I used came from a company called Thomas&Betts. I purchased them from a company called Aircraft Spruce & Specialty. Hope this info help you and keep ‘em coming…..
Crazy good video. ❤🎉
This gentleman who gave you the tour is a special person. Sharp and personable. A rare individual.
He is awesome!
Paul is passionate about GT40s and Ford's automotive history.
Real cool. Love this old school cool. Stuff
@@davenc8527 I first met Paul at Tom Biggers(rip),his uncle's shop back in the late 80s. Paul worked on many of my Cyclones and a 70 GT500 I had.
Yess
Holman Moody were Gods. I got goosebumps just watching you walk thru that place. Being a mechanic for over 50 years, the equipment made me drewal. .
Dude! Thank you so much for this video. History is history and when these dudes are gone, no one will be as knowledgeable. Keep this up!!!
That’s why they need to hire some people to pass the knowledge onto that have a passion!
But I couldn’t agree more which will truly be a shame…
I agree 100% ! Both of you keep doing what you’re doing!
Even if you were, there would be none to build.
At the age of 68 this is the BEST shop tour I've ever seen.I had no idea HM was still around.My complements to you both
Thank you Tim!!
As a person that enjoys automotive history, it's really fun to watch and listen to someone else that enjoys it as well. Please continue with your journey down these forgotten roads!
I'm an old guy. Graduated HS in 66. Worked at A&W Engineering in Santa Cruz up by the Wrigley Plant. Middle name is Holman ... We did roundy round cars, parts, engines and drive trains - mostly Modifieds and Super Modifieds. Holman Moody was one of our primary sources of go-faster Ford parts. We also did off-shore power boat stuff for select clientele. We all knew Lee's passion for boats and we'd see them around at some events. Real nice folks and very helpful, as long as you were not looking for top secret absolute cutting edge stuff ...
Back in the early 1990’s I got to tour the original Holman Moody shop out by the airport (now torn down and gone). I had a good friend, Jay Alexander, who’s dad was HM’s attorney in the hay day. Jay knew most everyone out there and we got a great tour. There were multiple building and some really cool stuff back in dark corners. One of the coolest things I saw was a Bud Moore Mustang that was raced in Australia with HM motors. The car was just sitting in a back building along with many other cool vehicles.
The stories those items could tell. I love to know these kind of old school boys finally get some spotlight. I was watching this whole video wide eyed and smiling... thank you guys for sharing these
Glad you enjoyed it Matthew!
No words to describe how awesome this video is oh my . The Oscars should make a category just for you . I love the history. Will watch again to see if I missed anything. You guys just keep getting better snd better. Thank you for your passion and your dedication for the history of racing .
So much history in there the stuff in there is priceless truly a museum
Legendary people still building the last Legendary cars ? We are speach-less.. !
Hat-off full respect & many greetings from Europe ! tanks to anyone involved :
The vlogger for up-loading this clip and to all those amazing people from that shop..
Woaw.. Holly smokes..
Amazing. The craftsmanship and engineering that went into anything Holman Moody touched is beyond excellent and still is to this day.
Lee Holman is a living legend. Holman and Moody are the Holy Grail to Ford racers.
Absolutely the 💯 truth ❤
It's hard to believe this place is still going. This place is legendary!! They built some real cool and fast cars in NASCAR and to be involved with the GT 40 program just puts them over the top. Too bad Kar Kraft wasn't still around which was the Ford shop for the GT as well as the Boss Mustangs.
Stapleton, you're doing something right to get into these buildings. You've got an impressive collection of access. Says a lot about you, Logan and the channel. These shops welcome you, that's a huge compliment. The only content I enjoy more from you is when you slow play someone at the Rock and then ask them a high level questions exposing their lack of knowledge. Well done.
🫣
One of the coolest soft spoken person that I've heard in a while. Just awesome, and the chassis and completed cars are beautiful works of art that Ive wanted to drive since I first saw one.
History needs guys like you to make a permanent record of how they made racing as exciting as it was and how they all competed with each other stories we never knew at the time! Thank you for your curiosity and willingness to search out all of these old racing shops!
Thanks man!!
I lived through the Ford winning Lemans as a teenager.That video gave me goosebumps! You are so lucky to be able to experience that shop and meet those people. Wish I had a spare million $$!
All this stuff brings back memories. I remember around 1963, walking around the infield in Charlotte with racecars under open-sided sheds because they didn't have enough room to put them in garage areas. Racecars jacked up and engines being tuned, wheels spinning, revving up, etc. Saw some cars with the Holman-Moody stickers on the fenders. A lot to see for a teenage boy.
man what a memory. I wish I could have been there
As a short person, there are 2 things I can say that no tall person can: 1) That was a comfortable flight in coach. 2) I fit in the GT40.
Thanks for the like - your vids are amazing. People talk to you in an honest way that they would not do on "television". Absolutely amazing work!
The old adage of "a mill and a lathe can rebuild the world" came to mind when yall were going over those few machines. The ones they have are beautiful examples. Thanks for the video!
I think of HALLOWED GROUND when I think of Holman/Moody. I think of Tiny Lund, Mario Andretti, David Pearson, the Allisons, even Richard Petty in 1969! I also think of Competition Proven. No truer words were ever written. It would make my life to tour that shop. Have been a Ford racing fan since I was 10 in 1963.
They would prob let you from what I seen.
I was 6 in 1963. My Aunty introduced me to Ford Racing team here in Australia when I was 17... Dick Johnson and his famous Tru-Blu XE. Ironically, Dick's racing number was also 17. Years later I became aware of the GT40 and fell in love. What you have here has further flamed my passion. This is the holy grail of Ford Racing. Thankyou so much for the tour. I am one of your newest subscribers. Looking forward to your Lee Holman interview. Having a tour of HM workshop is definitely on my bucket list. Keep the history videos coming. If ever you head "Down Under" there are plenty of stories here. ❤
What a super nice guy to take around that place. So knowledgeable as well. He is just a good ole country boy. So cool.
That McCulloch supercharger he showed you is the same kind I put on my 1960 Pontiac in 1961. I spoke with Lee years ago at Road America Vintage race when he brought up one of their GT40's that was for sale. He also had a really fantastic tricked out Road Racing Fairlane for sale. He seemed like nice guy and took the time to go thru both cars with me. 👍
That's some awesome history in that building. I really enjoy all your videos. I've had plenty of time on my hands since I've had to have 2 neck fusion surgery's, since August 29th 2022. All the places you've gotten access to is incredible. I'm sorry you don't fit in that GT40, but just sitting in it had to be cool. Can't wait to watch the Lee Holman video. Thanks
Thanks man! The video with Lee is on the racing history playlist!
When I hear “Holman-Moody” I think of late 60’s Ford Torino’s battling Dodge’s and Plymouth’s on the high banks of Talladega
Me too
Don't forget screwing Shelby over
Holman Moody are building these because they are the ones that built most of the GT40’s. The MK1’s were Shelby built. I think the MK2’s and later were Holman Moody built.
@@muther3026 Shelby is attributed with all models.
Not many Torinos left .a friend of mine has one. I visit him just to drool .lol long front end etc.. low number chassis. Dont ask me how to get a hold of him!!!
WOW Holman and Moody still around. My starter Late model was built in the 75-77 by Tiny Lund's crew chief Roger Byers. I race it in 86. It was an old dirt car converted to asphalt. It had no power steering it was rear steer. An old racer came over looked at it and told me pointing out things. I had no idea. The front suspension was old Holman and Moody stuff. I don't have no idea where the car is today. I enjoy your videos. This is one of the best. Thank you for what you do.
That’s awesome
Man that chassis jig is Gold! Important to finish these cars, future repairs, and even replicas
This video is rad. I moved to NC a few years ago and I've met so many people like this guy Paul. Super down to earth and nicest people you've ever met. I keep finding out how much racing and performance history is centered around this state too. I found out Edelbrock is only about 45 minutes from me and now I see this video and the facility is in Charlotte. Very cool.
As a lad I spent quite a few years operating many of the exact same shop machines! At 73 a memory to be savored.
that is awesome!
Being a huge ford guy I love these type videos about ford history between Shelby and other ford partners
Holman and Moody has always stood for American racing greatness and quality.
I see it still does.Awesome people,place, cars and video.Thanks for posting it.
I really enjoy seeing these legendary shops. I didn't realize that Holman-Moody was still in business. Thanks
Thanks dude we didn’t know either!
My mom, when she got thru med school, got herself a 1968 Cougar, and she upgraded the power train to an FE motor and a Top-loader 4sp.
The gentleman who installed the engine did it as a moonlighting gig from his real job as an engine builder for FoMoCo. He told her the valve train came from Holman Moody. Wonder if the cam came off one of those machines?
If you got a camshaft from h and m ,larry Wallace ground it and still is grinding
What a treasure and piece of history that you can still buy. The old girl fired right up and sounded great.
Yall always find the best people to tell the story of the way things were. Thanks for keeping the history around for people our age that actually care about cool stuff like this.
Thanks Roger. It’s funny because they’re just the first people we meet. The average guy is interesting when they’re talking about what they’re passionate about
So great to see such places still not just exist, but are fully operational and do what they did for decades. Thanks for sharing! And also this Gentelman for touring around the place.
Thanks for watching! Have you seen the other one with Lee Holman?
@@Stapleton42 Sure will! This one just popped on main...
Holy crap, as a ford nut this vid is a treat. Nothing sounds as good as a well built ford FE big block. Those old 427 blocks and heads are history. It's so cool they are still building real gt40s with the correct 427fe motors.
That little rev was enough to raise the hairs on my arms. Sounds beautiful!! Great video
Holman and Moody are legends that keep legends such as the GT40's alive.
Made my month again. Don't even have many words left to say about how much you two mean to people. Love you both, and thank you so much as always for what you do and the passion you have. What you're doing means a lot to a lot of us.
Thanks Joshua 💪🏻
Big Time original gangsters some of the best Ford Racing builders! Without a doubt these guy are legendary.
In HS I worked in a machine shop during summer breaks. I had a 70 Mustang that I was always working on. If I needed something mechanical for the car I couldn’t buy, I would make it on the same kind of tools (Bridgeport mill, South Bend lathe, …) used in the HM shop. Those tools were bullet proof. I’d love to spend a day at HM helping build a GT.
As someone who just got into researching the gt40s and seeing a few kit versions, and rewatching the Ford Vs Ferrari movie...this is incredible to see not only original style chassis, but actual real deal ones that were left over from the glory days! This is so special and anyone getting one of these hand built cars today wont regret it one bit im sure.
I just hope they are getting 3d scans and tons of pictures of these to document and preserve the history of them without disassembling an original
I sure think they would
The original chassis blue prints are still around, expensive to get copies of as everyone wants to profit off of the gt40 legacy now,. I would love a set. The chassis presses were almost certainly around in the late 80s, but the company folded and stuff was sold off cheap. So no idea what happened to it all.
The first ever gt40 replica company had fords permission to make them with a body mould taken off of an original MK3 prototype that was used as a junk bench. Called a KVA if memory serves. Had a 1.6 liter ford fiesta engine. In the mid 80s ford couldn't care at all about the GT 40s legacy with original cars and parts dumped at the back of various shops.
@@ForeverNeverwhere1 this company has the chassis parts and jigs and alot of the machinery so i bet with the scans they could make repops too
My dad had Hollman Moody pit bike. Little 50cc 2 stroke runner. It would do about 60mph. It was Blue with gold leaf, white and black. I believe he said it was a 1976. It actually came from Don "The Snake" Prudome's Drag racing team. He still has it. He paid $80 for it in 1980 at an auction in Tennessee. Incredible piece of Drag racing memorabilia.
Years ago, I worked at the post office, and on my primary route, the business park where Homan Moody is was part of it. For years, it was just a name though. I wasn't a car guy or a racing guy at all, didn't know a thing about them, until, inexplicably, they decided that they had so much mail that the post office had to come to their place to pick up all of their outgoing mail. At first, I was perturbed at the news, but when I walked in that door and saw what I saw, it immediately became a preference. Back then, the large area inside the door had a long line of project cars in various states of repair that faced a large area of finished cars. There were gassers, old racing cars, local racing cars, and of course a couple of Ford GT's. I saw my first DeTomaso Pantera there. I couldn't believe how cool that place was, and the people there, to a person, were all so warm in heart, always smiling, like they were someplace truly special. And they were.
Wow that’s awesome
Thanks so much for making this video. I have watched it over and over. Holman and Moody are legends.
Our pleasure!
Incredible!!! As a teenager throughout the sixties I was a huge admirer of Holman- Moody in NASCAR. When Ford won LeMans I was very excited and pleased. I was a Ford nut until 1967 when I experienced a new Camaro; not to take anything away from Ford or Holman-Moody back in the day. I had no idea Holman-Moody still exists. To see this video made me feel like time travel is a reality.👍
We feel the same 😂
Great to see true craftsman still exist.
Son you walked into the racing Mecca! Just incredible. I don't know how you manage to get access to all these legends but this is just incredible. Thank you so much for getting these things on video!
Thanks man!
As I recall, Robert Yates got his start at HM building engines. He was apparently heavily involved in the GT-40 engine program.
He did start there!
People will be in Awe as I am 50 years from now when they see this video !!! Thanks
Thanks Ricky!
Holman Moody back in the early 60s were the instruments that advanced drag racing to what it is today in engineering modifications.Fords Charlie Gray used them in secret to build the Mustangs for the drags around 1965 66 without fords brass Knowing,without them there would not be the Shelby and other hot mustangs that we have today.
Back in 2006 I talked to Lee on the phone when I worked for Dupont Registry. I was trying to get him to advertise some of the cars they build. He was such a cool guy to talk to.
This was a GREAT video! You two ask very detailed and knowledgeable questions, which I think is why you get so far with the people that you interview. I think most of these people, who have been doing this "forever," see that you both have a great passion for what they've been able to contribute through history, and are impressed that there are still "young" folks who appreciate it! 👍🙏💪
Thanks man we do our best!
I saw those blocks and thought just 1 , please just one! The block that ran all out down the Mulsanne Straight. And the sound! Clip a 68 Mustang like a 65 Galaxie add Tunnel Ports and boom tubes. Alarm went off got to wake up. Your channel is a recollection of my youth. I ll never be there and every piece brings back a memory of the FE (390 based) Mustangs, Fairlanes, and the 65 Galaxie with the very high strung 394 FE I built 30 years ago and still makes the neighbors flinch every time I get it warm and whack it. The 780 downleg, balanced lightened components and the compression, a flex of the ankle and how it revs like a 289 only it has the boom that wants to crack the driveway. Back when I could see right, I loved backing out and putting it in D and running the converter up and flooring it and it would burn the tires through 2nd and just get traction and let out and the neighbors would applaud. And this is a fancy neighborhood , cool neighborhood and people. Put 5 gallons of 93 ethanol free and open 2 inch primary and 24 inch 3.5 secondary’s. That Galaxie! Man I wish I could drive it, my wife is scared to death of it. My son won’t go over 5500. He says I’m going to blow it up taking it up to 7500, but I built it and I know what it is in it. Ain’t Skeered!!!lol. I miss driving worse than anything else. That’s a great car! I don’t know why people call them clumsy and obsolete. They must have ridden in a poorly tuned one. The crank in a 390 and 427 has the same main journal diameter as a 351C. My own porting of the 64,352/390 heads after I used a bowl hog and took the hook out of the intake ports and added 2.15 intakes with 1.6 exhaust it gained a real snap. The rods are forged 5140 steel all 8 with the same brinnel hardness as new 4340s. 3/8 ARPs , the crank is an FT steel one lightened and the forged pistons are 1/8 1/8- 3/16 with the top dykes and the 2nd Napier with wider gaps to prevent flutter. All balanced to a gnats behind. The head and main studs are ARP. I also drilled into the main registers and added dowels and in the caps, to prevent cap walking. I have a ladder girdle for the center 3, but the dowels work fine. I have a deep sump Canton pan and the 7/8 pickup with the windage tray and the shelf to control stack up. 9 qts. And I put hose nipples in the valley to let air out and opened the front drains and reduced the rear ones and ran tubing from rear to front to get more oil from the rear of the head and intake to the front for drainage to the sump quickly. 85 psi all the time from 4000 up. 7/16 fuel line and electric pump. I am getting boring, but it is a beast.
Wow! Can't articulate how fascinating that was. What a privilege to see and hear all of this. Amazing preservation of such historical significance! Your documentaries just keep getting better every time.
You’ve been to a lot of historically cool places, before & after this video, but the significance of the GT40 program in American racing history can’t be overstated. I’m glad to see that HM is keeping it alive. Thanks
Thanks man we appreciate you 💪🏻
You never cease to amaze me with your videos. It’s so cool to see the history of NASCAR and now the famous H&M Le Mans GT 40s. You 2 are extremely lucky to be able to do this and we’re lucky that you’re sharing. Thanks bud.
It is amazing to me how well the people that you visit and interview seem to respect you two and what you are doing. Another great video. Keep it up and keep it real. Thanks again
Super sick. The first guy was so good with the history and some of the back story. He was a great intro into these beautiful cars. As always you guys killed it with this one.
I have absolutely no words.......im gonna watch this video for years to come and i haven't even finished it yet
I find these videos fascinating. I don’t follow any of the current racing but for some reason I’m captivated by the history.
Same man. It’s just something special
My dad bought my mom a 63 T-Bird Roadster. It was pink ( I think Ford called it Coral) with a black top and interior. Come to find out it was a race ordered car with a H/M solid lifter engine. We were the 8th owners when dad bought it. From what I could gather it was to be a Nascar racer when convertibles we're still allowed. That was the Sunday car. Dad had a 67 Impala SS, mom had a 67 GT 350 for the rest of the week. When I turned 16 I was handed the keys to the 4th vehicle they owned, a 1947 Ford pick up. Not just any one, it was a 3/4 ton ex utility truck, orange and yellow with a plaid vinyl bench seat, that they used to haul livestock to and from the auction with. Taught me humility, and that beast has been fully restored and is on the road to this day.
That’s epic
Please keep finding the coolest thing ever. You two are doing great things. Love that you are helping keep automotive history alive and well. Thanks for your time and effort.
Wasn't aware of where GT40's were made. But to know the place still exists and produces is nothing short of astonishing.
Sometimes it sucks being tall
This is something I will never know
Being well under six foot I will fit perfectly in that car
Thanks for an amazing tour 👍👍👍
There were 2 targa top gt40 built.
Absolutely amazing video. I was lucky enough to work with a guy who knew the HM guys through Nascar. I could listen to his stories all day long. So so cool.
Brother this is one of the best videos EVER! They need to have someone with a passion to pass on all this information to. Once the old school car guy Generation is gone I won’t have much hope in people…
More like worse video. Narrator can not even speak clearly. I’m not talking about the workers
Absolutely agree.
I thought I was the only one who knew who H M was fairlane fan 427 for 50 years owned many 390 cars
@@cooperparts we can all dream! To me this is and art and passion for life! Truly amazing work!
Thank you for the tour. As an 18 year old way back in 1980, Holman Moody machined spiral lock grooves in my TRW Buick 455 pistons so that I could run full floating piston pins with my Howard aluminum connecting rods. I still have that engine in my Buick GSX with those same exact parts, and I start it and drive a few feet every day. I always thought it was cool to say Holman Moody worked on my engine.
Awesome video! I've been a ford guy my while life, and seeing you tour THE shop is so cool. It blows my mind that they still have all of those original gt40 parts and chassis.
I'm an exhaust sound nerd, and to me the GT40 is the pinnacle of v8 sound, so im glad they fired one up for you.
Fireball Robert's Galaxie lurking in the background peaks my interest too.
There will be a separate video on that car!
Dude after watching so many of your vids and loving the Nascar stuff. This is the one that hits the mark. Not even a ford fan but the GT40 is my absolute favorite car and to see them spread out in parts is such a treat. Thanks so much for going to these shops and getting the people to open the doors for you to bring these to us Is amazing and keep it up. The history of racing in America needs to be shared and shown. So many stories left untold that people need to hear. The craftsmanship and way they solved problems shows how smart these simple men truly are. They have created works of art and most people don't have a clue who these men are who made this happen. Thanks for doing this and sharing. I think you have found what and where you are headed with your channel.
Thanks Steven I think so too.
This place is AMAZING! Those GT40’s are beautiful! Thanks for sharing guys. 👍
Many years back I worked for Enron, a few years after it first collapsed we were still there, but most of the traders and execs were gone. One day while parking my fairly new 2003 Mustang Cobra, a yellow Ford GT pulled in and parked.
I walked over to speak with the owner and asked about it, he informed my that it was a GT40, not a Ford GT. As I started looking at it, I realized it was in fact, a true GT40. I was absolutely shocked that anyone would just drive it around and leave it in the parking garage. A really nice guy and he told me a few stories about it, an amazing day a work.
That’s awesome
Well, between those GT40s and David Pearson's No. 17 Torino Talledega, I'd say Holman-Moody loomed *quite* large in my childhood imagination. This shop tour lived up to expectations.
I live near H/M and my Uncle was into tractor pulling and his [and everyones] camshaft came from H/M. I had another Uncle, Linsen Kendall who was an engine builder [drove the 51 427 Anglia named Blue Angel] and he would write specs down on a sheet of paper and take to H/M to get the factory camshaft welded up and re-ground to his specs. Super intelligent man.
That's when racing was the best, I can't believe they still have there shop running, what a awsome step back into history, you rock finding all this great content to film.
Thanks dude. We do our best
If your interested I have a front bumper from one of Roush's Conway Freight truck series race truck's that's signed by the driver, if you would like it I can bring it to you.
Most compelling video to date.
Incredible chance you had to visit this legendary place.
Can't wait for the next video with "The Man"
Both thumbs up high for this one.
Thanks Daniel!
Being from England born and bred makes me proud to see these cars being so carefully built what an amazing company with knowledge and passion like the original here 🇬🇧.
I pray their are some younger kids begging to be mentored by experts like this gentleman. He is like a machine with a personality.
What a great video tour. Lots of history in that shop including many historical original parts made back in the day. 👍
A ton! Thanks Louie 💪🏻
Just A Legendary Shop, And So Much Cool Knowledge!!
Lol my dad works there
My race car geek meter just went in to the red. That was amazing! The GT40 is one of my two all time favorite cars, the Porsche 917 being the other. The Porsche, BTW, was the car that dominated Le Mans after the Fords were no longer eligible. They also had a long and successful career n the Can-Am series in North America in the 70's.
PS: If you haven't seen the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans check it out, it is one of the best racing movies ever made.
Yes, much better racing movie than the recent Ford v Ferrari joke
Watch for the #40 9146GT in Steve's film...it's ours !¡
Have always been a big fan of Holman and Moody , like you I didn’t realize they were still in business!
Love the two videos , and all the old shops you are visiting, great job !!!❤️👍
That dyno is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! You just went through a time portal.
Simply awesome man. So much history. The key part here is the fact the chassis are original production. This means they are eligible for racing in things like Le Mans classic or goodwood revival. Jaguar did something similar a few years back when they found 6 chassis that were original e type ligh weights that raced at Le Mans. Price tags were similar to those gt 40’s.
If you live the historic race cars you definitely need to make a trip to the uk for the goodwood revival. Millions of $ worth of cars being raced and raced hard. Nobody babies these rare cars they were built to race and race they will. Putting them in a museum is just wrong.
Keep up the epic content man, your killing it
We have goodwood on the bucket list that’s for sure!
Has to be one of the best classics on the planet
I'm a Ford guy so.. I'll try to put it this way, this shop tour , for me , is like , You , touring Dale Earnhardt Sr's shop ... well done sir..
I understand completely
Amazing video. I appreciated how you reserve your knowledge and allow the interviewee answer what you already knew. Very cool.
Thank you Mitchell for another history lesson. Holman Moody is very iconic. When I hear Holman Moody, I think of Ford backed factory racing in the 60’s. Wasn’t their original shop torn down to make the new runway at the Charlotte airport? Rick
That is correct
One of the best videos I've ever seen. This history, the cars, the machinery and Lee himself and of course the fella that showed you around. Just awesome.
Thanks Billy! We are glad you’re here. Check out the other videos we’ve done at Holman moody!
Legends in nascar and with ford,,this video was awesome,,seeing the machinery that was used to buikld the cars from back in the day,,truly awesome1,,keep it up!
Holman Moody was so much more than just NASCAR.
Absolutely. It’s insane.
Great video. Huge Shelby guy! Huge Ford guy. I'm absolutely amazed this stuff is still around. Love GT 40's,Pantera's,Mustangs all those unibodies from mid 60's to mid 70's. This was video was so informative! I knew they did stuff with Shelby guess I didn't realize the extent. Great content with this video. It was a must share can't wait for your sit down with Lee!
GT40 is one of and still is my favorite sports cars. Great video, he sounds like a southern boy that loves what he does. Love the hair Logan.
Dude thank you so much for these shop tours! Keeping the history alive and breathing!
You are very lucky to have the opportunity to visit that shop, many of us who have dreamed and lusted after these cars would sacrifice a left nut to be there...I hope you appreciate what you have been given. I appreciate the video you made, thank you.
As a total GT 40 geek originally from Slough, it was nice to see some recognition of who originally made the cars. I have actually been in the shop that made the original chassis pressings, it had a similar vibe, nothing was thrown away, long since gone bankrupt due to a loss of their main customer. I used to know a couple of the old Lola guys too, but I didn't know enough at the time to geek out or care. Anyhoo, I cannot wait for the next episode.
Thanks man that’s awesome
When I hear of Holman-Moody, I think of legal innovation, speed and top driver talent.
Man, I envy you! You had the honour to make such a tour amongst racing legends and you have a girlfriend that is actually interested in this kind of stuff!
I don't know if you are a jealous guy, but I think that with this kind of contents, if you're going to involve her more, this will raise the channel's popularity even further! 😁
Thanks man
You’re a well respected Young Man! You get to do all these interviews with a lot of Legendary people. You are doing something right! Well Done, keep them coming.
Thanks Wesley
So freeking awesome guys! Walking in the path of legends! So jealous!!!! Thank you! Definitely a shirt possibility here! Holman Moody- wow cool!!
We’d love to make Holman moody shirts
@@Stapleton42 Right! Go all old school style like some of the throw back style, maybe a reason to try a crisp short sleeve white button up possibly? I know, I know, you wear black shirts. Don’t get me wrong I love the black shirts, in fact I’m wearing my boom tube shirt today for fun shirt Friday. PS, I found the Hidden 69 last night. Just throwing out ideas! Thanks guys have a great weekend
@@Stapleton42 the hidden 69 in the boom tube shirt, I was driving when I sent that, just wanted to clear that up. Also some retro throw back style SAW shirts with Ralph, and Uncle George! I would love an Uncle George shirt sporting the fresh BFG White walls out! Be cool to have an areal shot of Uncle George with his hood off sporting his monster Big Block! Thanks guys and have a great weekend!
