Has to be the best built GTM ever!! I'm thoroughly impressed with your skills man!!
Easily the cleanest GTM build I've ever seen. Truly is a custom, handmade super car.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A TALANTED FABRICATOR/BUILDER AS THIS MAN! I happened to stumble upon this video and was totally amazed. His ability to work with aluminum, carbon fiber and electronics says to me that he is one-of-a-kind guy. His finished product is indeed a very nice work of art. If I were to buy a FF car, I would offer him a price that he could just not refuse! Just WOW! Everything he did was precisely thought-out, executed and achieved in spades. I truly wish that I had such great talent as him. Kudos to you sir!!! PS: you garage looked immaculate at all times, which is a labor in and of itself.
Jeff,
Sometimes I miss a post or two but reviewed some today and saw this. Thanks a million for the kind words. That means alot. More than the shows I typically go to where most don't know how to deal with the combination. As a kid building airplane models, I couldn't stand when they weren't perfect. Then I learned how to overcome and keep pressing. I blew up many of them or burned them. So, while you need to be patient and press through the challenges, you need to be a little crazy too. I took best of show a few weeks back, stealing it from a large crowd of classic car buffs. About 300 cars. The field had only a few modern cars. The two judges fought the others and ultimately persuaded the others to judge the effort and actual quality regardless of make or year. He was a past lead engineer for Evinrude and now lives here near the bay. That set this car way beyond the others. It was the work and every bit of what you say. Not bragging at all but I put all I had in this car. That comes from a guy who grew up building models, RC Planes, radios and then 25 years of heavy structures, composites , avionics...and then designer of structural mods on aircraft. I'm now the lead T-6 aircraft program manager in the Navy. I've been lucky to have the experience topped off with the money, attitude, health and a supportive family. Thats one hell of a laundry list for a single guy to have and put into a car. I'm as lucky as the car is impressive. Thanks my friend!
Holy crap. I just saw this car today at a car show in Maryland! Awesome!
That is one well built badass freaking ride, one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard!
Its even better in person. Never get tired of listening to it.
Dang dude...well done. I'm guessing that car is a ball to drive. PS 66 people have no idea what a good build looks like.
It's a bit like waking up and driving a Mig 15 to the local coffee shop. It gets your adrenaline going during the preflight. It's loud, intense and will screw you if you're not on the ball.
A GTM is my 40th birthday present to myself next year. I have been and will continue to watch your videos to learn over the next 18 months.
Good luck and hope the videos help motivate!👍
This is definitely my favorite GTM build so far...so many different skills being put to work, great job!
ok man i understand after seeing the third or fourth price tab you listed in your video that you were building basically a race car in your garage. astounding.
you took this kit car and handled it like a scuderia. bravo.
I watched this and was completely impressed with the attention to detail that was put in. 🤯👍
Great job! Man, you rock! Also, I'm sure it's irritating when people say, "I would have done it (this) way," especially when they probably don't have 1/10th the skills you have. Again...marvelous work; probably the best GTM build I've ever seen.
Yeah. I leave all those comments up. I know the real deal. They never will. They shoot themselves in the foot. I just say thanks.
Point is .... I was really considering to get this car to build it but after watching this video, it cleared all my doubts out and am giving up on getting it. Most notably the roof scoop. I was saying to myself "where does the water that it sucks in go?"... you answered my question.... Secondly the refinements that had to be done to get a quality job were so much needed! The styling on the rear end.... The interior... cf door cards .... you gave the interior an aircraft feel ... superb :) .....Best GTM!
Only way to duplicate this build ,,,,,,Is to buy it! Mad skills, great job...…………...
Now this is the definition of Built not bought.
The soundtrack took me back to the old Need for Speed games on the PlayStation 1. 90's nostalgia.
Sweat, skill and immense patience over many, many sleepless nights in the garage. Pure respect for the end result! Well done.
Faaarrrkk top of the line everythings in this build... WOW from NZ
Ok scratch everything I said earlier this car is way better than buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini even though you spent thousands of hour building it it would be worth it. It’s only worth it because of the amazing work you did you are an artist man.
Perfection..... I like the brake cooling system you made.
Wish i had a friend like you growing up sir.
Hands down the best custom supercar build in history!! The attention to detail and all of the improvements are remarkable! This should be a $600,000 car right here! Sure he bought a kit but then he took it to a completely other level!! Even the guy who owns Factory Five must be like, "Well damn"!!! My GTM is a dirty old dump truck next to this thing!! GTM 410 has made me very depressed now. I'm going into my garage and keying my own car for being such a pile of crap next to this beautiful car!
Thanks much my friend!
Extremely impressive. You have so many well engineered modifications in your build. I'm trying to grab inspiration, to continue my work on GTM #33 and finish my build, and watching yout video is doing just that. I converted my E-brake with the the same actuator. I put mine in the engine bay to the side of the transaxle.
Thanks. GTM videos inspired me and kept the pressure on. BTW...The Ebrake works great. Having LED's near your toggle are needed to tell you when its on and off. The benefit of being in the tunnel is I can hear it load up. Red light goes on in any position other than off. Green goes on when off. You could do a limit switch but cable stretch over time will require adjustment of the limit. Hearing it is just like feeling it. Good luck.
The video should've been about you and Moose. Mad props to you.
Excellent build! First Class.
Beautiful work man.
You sir are a master craftsman that car is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for throwing this together. Would love to see the camera mounted in front of the screen to see out of the car. 7/8 of the viewing is inside the car. Thanks again!
I didn't noise the music at all really, it's called a "volume button" press it in the down position and you will be ok!! The car is extremely nice man!! Excellent job!! Those wheels are way badass!! The spokes how they sort of hover over the main barrel like that or they at least appear that way. Really cool!
Impressive build.....Thanks for Sharing.....!
Thank you.
What a nice looking car in and out probably a new steering wheel. people will think its a Aston martin vanquish hehe amazing job sir
steviewanda Or a New Saleen S7 or Ford Gt
Extraordinary and inspirational. What a car! 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing skills!! I hope Factory Five took notes on the mods for when I finally get to order one.
Greetings from Lebanon.. Amazing work! Even a person with the highest level of OCD would be satisfied with this level of craftsmanship.. I really would love to see your next project, but please, don't take 5 years to finish it, life is too short 😀
Thank you my friend. It took some serious patience but well worth it👍
Karim Edde Yalla Habibi
Karim Edde 4:11 ISIS??!! Shit this car is a terrorist car!! Run!!!!😱😱🤯🤯 LMAO
Simply amazing craftsmanship!
Great job. We should get you to help
Us with our GTM. Trans-Am Series race car you do unbelievably work.
Great work and fantastic craftsmanship. Waist of Money at the end of day and thank you for making me realize that instead of this I should buy a Porsche 911 4S.
Nothing like being another Porsche driver. Have fun!
Incomparable, well-done sir!
Thanks Rich. An advantage I had was doing it myself. It was definitely harder but easier to think through and bring it all together. Quality was a focus. It was always nice to get to the next section, knowing you nailed the last one......often in areas nobody would ever know until you showed them.
he built the c8 before gm did lol
The GTM's way better. That C8 is a waste of engineering.
But this is way faster
that thing is amazing, I want one really bad
That is a work of art
Beautiful Car, Genius Build,Very Meticulous in Detail, Very Nice, Now I'm Going to Reveal my Age, Mid Fifties, Now A little Sarcasm which By The Way I'm Very well Known For But it's all in Fun, After all The Time And Thought and Meticulous Detail you Brought to Your Build of a Spectacular Vehicle, Kudos!!! Now Comes the Sarcasm,,,, at Some Point in this Project, Boy Racer Came Flying out Of The Closet And Applied Those Darned Grand Sport Stripes on a Perfect Car...:)
A bet your a aircraft structures mechanic?
The doors were probably the most difficult job on the car to get right for that perfect alignment and if not done correctly it will stand out like BORAT AT THE BEACH IN HIS SWIMWEAR . You did a beautiful job , and “ If it had wings it would fly”
why do people need to comment on the choice of music? Diversity makes the world go round and keeps things interesting. Who cares if you don't like the music, go out and build a beauty as featured and edit with your own music. Really quite simple. AND: really nice job on building the home built supercar
Outstanding build, thanks for sharing!!
Great Job! All the work looks good. This is easily one of the top 3 or4 GTM builds i've ever seen. Excellent work! I plan on building one of these myself. I especially like the overhead console and of course the main screen. I had saw one where a father/son spent a year or so building one of these cars. they did paddle shifters on theirs. Which, really turned out great. They also had a working airbag and all kinds of little cool tidbits. i like looking at all the best builds and get ideas for my build when i eventually get started on it. Excellent build tho. I also really liked the color coordinated Yellow carbon fiber on the door panels. Again, great build!
Thanks. Take your time and make it fun. Some music, clean shop and taking care of yourself will keep the stress down.
Rude Dawg 4:11 ISIS!!!!!????🤯🤯😱😱
Did you build it?
Absolutely amazing and I'm happy to see you drive it I'm not jealous seeing all that hard work u deserve it
great job!!!
i am interested in the new GTF concept.
👌
That car is an absolute work of art. Damn fine work.
That music sucks ass. The engine sure sounds nice though...
😳
I disagree that the music sucks but I agree this vehicle is a work of art. So much detail and thus so much time. It's not my strong suit.
Next level build.
I love facfive cars. This music isn't horrible.
I seen your GTM at Vraptorspeedworks. I think Shane was working on some wiring or something. Before you put the body on the car. It's the only GTM I have ever seen besides mine. I have #330 the wide body. Always loved your car. Very impressive build!
Must have been another. This one has never left the county here in Maryland. I'm the only one who has worked on it. I do know Shane though. Nice guy and builds many nice GTMa.
Very nicely done. I would guess you work in aerospace airframe repair would be my bet.
Yes. Structures and engineering.
Great job.master craftsman
Some guy has one built with a slightly modified LS1 near me, finished for $55k. Highly considering it. Looks very labor intensive to build one myself lol.
Love the shot of the dog! Amazing work. Amazing customization. But it doesn't say much about the base kit fit and finish.
Base kit is okay but much improvements are needed before the average guy can get through without headaches and assistance
Amazing work
Also for that much money you could Have purchased a Ferrari and saved yourself 6,000 hours/5 years. Please don’t get me wrong this car is amazing you did an incredible job.
tim wegman Ferraris are expensive
He got the satisfaction of building it himself the exact way he wanted it,that my friend is priceless.
This car would shit on a Ferrari on a track lol. And Ferraris are unreliable and a fortune to maintain.
Parabens aos projetistas, quem dera tivesse coisas assim aqui no Brasil!
Você deveria vir aqui com um trailer e levar um para casa!
@@pixelsight5783 Isso é impossível, financeiramente inviável!
Bem, independentemente de onde estamos no mundo, nem todos têm as finanças ou tempo. Tudo bem. Nós temos a nossa vida e isso é o mais importante. Boa sorte, e agradeço a sua visita para conferir o carro que passei cinco anos construindo. Boa sorte!
@@pixelsight5783 Obrigado amigo!
I want to see a model refresh for 2020 or 2021 GTM. Maybe carbon fiber, surround cameras, touch screen control, truck space in the front and move hard ware to the sides and back. A moon roof and electric drive train.
Honestly just trying to figure out what parts come with the full kit and what parts id have to buy, originally all i heard was that you only need to buy an engine a transmission and tires separately from the kit but now im not very sure
Awesome build, if you were to do it all over again what would you do differently?
I've seen a lot of custom cars, one off race cars, garage restorations and done some modifying to cars myself but nothing compares to this guy's craftsmanship! Attention to detail is on another planet not just another level. Curious what you do for a living? Thinking something in aeronautics.
What was total build time and ballpark on the cost?
Quality build. But with all the alum would it not get so heavy once finished?
Not even close. The LS7 doesn't seem to care.
That is awesome, so I have always wondered how the braking works, having abs on a sports car is a must for non professional race car drivers, has factory five calculated abs for these?
Excellence work..Can you make it in Thailand
Hey I recognize those running lights! I have a spare set for my FRS too! unfortunately my FRS will never be as awesome as this car.
If you 2jz swap it... it can be
Yes. Subaru. Nice little factory touch to help take away from the kit appearance. Shopped all over and these seemed right.
@@dom3489 I have a spare fa20 already. I'm talking to my local engine builder to have darton sleeves put in and basically replace the entire rotating assembly with forged stuff. Custom valves and titanium retainers and full upgrade to fueling. Planning on doing the edelbrock supercharger first and then doing rear mounted turbo when 350hp is boring. Most likely will also need to do water/meth since e85 is not sold here
You should make like a Audi style cluster with navigation and camera system
Amazing...everything was air craft quality I'm thinking your an engineer... would you build a car for someone?
The left hand draped over the steering wheel at 12 o'clock, is the sure indicator that person has never done a track day.
too busy wiping his nose from the coins dropped on this amazing build
Hello. This is an impressive build and I'm wondering where to start with a build like this. Did you already have the skills to build or did you take the "learn as you go" approach?
Great video. Please turn the music off when you are driving and talking though. We want to hear the car and what you have to say.
Porfesional build quality! ....but how much money was invested? These multi-discipline handcraft expertise is becoming rare .....
Yes. Thats one area the GTM is really a fun project. There's plenty of room for DIY. It begs for it in many areas. Unlike a basic kit like a Cobra, which can be really a simple yet nostalgic and very cool car, the GTM is a supercar shell without the guts. OK, its definitely a performer out of the box but possibilities are endless. I was very fortunate to have learned skills working aircraft though.
You obviously have airplane building / maintenance experience. I've been debating going the easy route and just using the pop rivets and doing it the right way with solids.
Yes. And you can use solids in many areas but the pop rivets do provide for easy removal where needs. Nutplates and stainless rivnuts are a huge maintenance time saver.
@@pixelsight5783 I finally took the time to watch the vid. Great work. Your shop is to die for. I lost mine in the last move.
GTM 410 this is a great build and it looks super nice, without all of the custom fabrication you did just taking it out of the box slapping in the LS7 and trans and doner parts how much do you think that would have ran you in comparison to the 85k i believe you said you spent.
Strictly using the kit as is with LS7, and Mendeola or gt3 trans..
25k kit
13k ls7
10k tranny
5k Doner pallet
7k Paint
1.5k Wheels
3000 odds and ends
About 60 K + Labor
I’ll never understand why people think that music background isn’t annoying.
can you please will this car to me when you pass on....i mean like it wouldn't be anything to you once your gone....but be well n have fun lol.
bruh this video felt like a time-warp to the 90s. I'm a fan of the dancing chimpanzee
Looking to make purchase on a gen 2 and do it all myself. Worked on aircrafts for nine years in military. Airframes and powerplant! Great work! Don’t want to go the full length in detail you did. Wanna make it a fun weekend car and road course car. Did you use the painless wiring kit they have out now? This kit looks so amazing and promising. Love your project man! Amazing machine! And detail!
Austin,
Good on you. I'm an A&P gone engineer...gone Program Manager. It was the A&P skills and tools that topped off this build. Started as an F-15 structures guy in the Air Force. Worked Depot on fighters rebuilding wings, tails and doing mods. Finished that career after 25 years and 10 Type/Model military civilian aircraft.
I did not use the painless kit but I would if I were you. I used Infinity box, a computerized system which probably means I'll need to buy a backup....just in case. Check out my build site at gtm410.com There's a boatload of info there.
John
That’s awesome! Yeah I noticed you vacuum bagged your carbon fiber panels haha! I knew exactly what ya were doing! I’ll get there soon
I worked and flew on the ch53 super stallion and then the mv22 osprey! Then aviation instructor in Pensacola Flordia and then got out. But I’ll definitely look at your build info thank you!
Great looking GTM!!! I have to ask, were you working a full time job and doing this build, or was this five full years of pure dedication to the GTM? I would lose motivation on anything after a year of working on one project. I love the GTM style and performance, thank you for the great video.
Full time program manager. Worked nights and weekends. A tough kit to build so keep researching. A year would be tight but with money, time, skill, self reliance, good health and organization, it's possible. Check out VRaptor Speedworks.
Thank you for the response. I just retired from the Army so I currently have a good amount of time to put towards a great project. I will check out VRaptor Speedworks.
Stunning build thanks for the ride
Thanks for stopping by👍
Prefer comment to repetious sort of music. Great build BTW.
so you had to still buy parts and a corvette to build it? or is that optiobal
Awesome car! Every detail beautiful! But when the frame was made how come no rollcage? I didnt see one.
I have a few questions about your panels that you ceramic coated.
What ceramic coating did you use for the paneling?
Is it something that requires a top coat of paint or can it be used on its own?
Can you apply it yourself or does a shop need to do it?
How durable is it?
Lastly, how much of an effect do you think it had on heat transfer? (Which is what I’m mainly concerned with)
Your car is amazing. You did an incredibly job assembling it. I hope mine turns out as good as yours when I’m done.
Almost forgot. Would it be wise to use an impact resistant structural adhesive between the chassis and the panels before riveting?
No. The ceramic requires a primer. I used epoxy. The ceramic is from Eastwood. It is very scratch resistant but very hard too so its good for certain areas that are cleaned often and when chemical resistance is a plus. They remain looking good through the build and after. Simply tough as he'll.
GTM 410 thank you so much for the info. I appreciate you taking the time.
In terms of the structural adhesive, I would not use it between body and chassis. I actually have urethane bushings at the rear license plate mount and allow the rubber and roll cage padding to do the rest. If you want some bond, you might consider Pro seal. 8802, B4 sealant and some other names specifying aircraft fuel cell, panel or seam sealant provides a pretty good bond. If you want to fill gaps, A4 metal set is a good cost effective adhesive. Its similar to what we used on aircraft structures Hysol EA934 for "liquid shim". Good filler, hard and ok bond characteristics. JB weld is about the closest Lowes alternative. Marine Tex is another decent 2 part structural adhesive I've used. Overall you want a little flex to accommodate vibration and expansion or cold/heat shrinking and expansion. Hard structural adhesives are better for fixed bonding of smaller parts or shinning, to rid gaps in areas where it matters to prevent pre-load on fastened parts. Typically you would install wet but not Torque or rivet until after cure. You just need to make sure its clamped or fastened in place where you want it before cure.
WHEN CAR ENGINEERING MEETS AIRPLANE ENGINEERING.........
Nice!!
I think you meant to say "Windows i7 Solid State *Custom Aerospace* Computer".
I want one~~!!!!!!!!!!
which DCT is compatible with these?
maerati mc-12, and corvette had a baby = GTM
Nice! I’m confused I thought you bought the Corvette for the engine why did you buy another engine or was the $16k to have the engine built up?
C5 for suspension parts.... LS7 for the 7 Litres of horsepower :)
have you taken it to the track and sorted the suspension?
wow man .🏆
What size are the rims your using?
Noice build man. I’m currently looking to get an already built 2008 GTM… exterior is immaculate shape. LS2 motor. Interior needs re-done. Price has been reduced. Private sale. Currently asking 59k… you think its worth it?
TY…
Best of luck and have fun. I've still got this one. Its like driving a fighter jet. Nothing like it around here.
It was hard to hear the narration of the build with the music playing so loud ..........WHY ?????
The actual narration is in all my other videos.
the brake lines will rust and fail they can also crack without rust under pressure
Stop 🤣
Incredible build! What was the total cost of everything?
Nor exactly sure. About 85K + 7000 hours
somebody get this guy some tissues pls
