Dude is a mad scientist with his cars, love it
I agree
Rolling artwork for sure!
With a sense of style
@@yaboiterumi1904 👍
roof scoop is pointless the way he did it. It just adds drag
This builder has knocked out of the park two outstanding builds.Great content again Shawn, thank you for showcasing some of the worlds greatest drivable custom street art.
Wrong.
@@Gma7788 stfu and go build one then.
Beautiful machine
Love the fact someone used carbon instead of fiberglass
That GT40 is wicked. I love all the custom touches he's put into it and that sound is awesome!!
Seeing this guy's passion and innovation just makes me dread a world of EVs
Lemme help you out.... EVs for the commute and these cars for the weekend & track. Simple
@@vannevels6758 In a perfect world but they will make combustion emissions completely illegal. And people will let them, we have been voting away our rights since 1777.
@@torsteinrocks I SERIOUSLY doubt that'll happen anytime soon here in AmeriKKKa. So what rights have "we voted away" that you miss most and why since you mentioned it?
I will never daily an EV get that crap outta here
@@vannevels6758 wake up silly. Israel owns america, not whites.
Sounds like an old NA Ferrari V8. The 348 comes to mind! Incredible build & it looks mouthwateringly amazing 😮💨🔥🔥
To me it sounds like a S2000 and Ferrari had a baby
Very exotic sounding for sure
@@fread51 lol I can see that!
Awesome to see such a build, perfect choice of looks and mechanicals that modernizes but stays true to the original spirit. Would love to hear it flat out on a track..
That has to be one of the best looking cars I’ve seen in my life
Chris knocked it out of the ballpark with this car.
Chris is so frickin humble. And you can tell how much fun he has with the builds.
Watched this build slowly get finished on instagram, it’s a work of art
Glad to see Shawn is back in videos ride along/driving. This guy has a vision for sure bad ass build
Where did Shawn go, or did something happen??
This guy is really a master. He deserve a big success in car built business.
And to think a massive mudslide could have ended it! Such an amazing build. Chris has true talent.
The fact that he parks it in the grass AND his grass needs cut AND that passenger front marker light needs some attention makes me believe that something like this is attainable by a regular joe like me. Thanks Brother! Love it.
This guy's vision, is something else! Awesome stuff !
Best car you’ve ever shot. Period. Chris is a phenomenal builder i truly admire his work
When I hear RUFFIAN ..I think of the filly..a truly great flesh and blood racing legend..but her true greatness was cut short
What in the actual hell....this is the best build ive ever seen.........
It is insane!
*AutotopiaLA* Wicked Ride, thanks fellas for taking the time to show us. God Bless.
That drive by wire cable fix is genius
He’s so damn creative
I used to not like restomods that much but this car and the mustang just changed my mind both look amazing
The car we all have been waiting on
Truly living the dream 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There’s not one single bit of this build that I’d change. From body to paint to wheels to motor to exhaust she’s absolutely perfect the way she was built!! Wish I had one for myself!
"This is the exhaust...Oh, YES IT IS!!!" I'm still chuckling. Another great car from Ruffian.
This is the best sounding Ford V8 I’ve ever heard.
How did I get here? Hell, even I'm impressed with this guys work.
He’s a creative and talented guy for sure
My hat is off to whoever fab'd up the manifold, there's probably weeks of work in just that alone......
This is probably the most incredible gt40 build I’ve seen. I’m in love! I’m a sucker for some bad ass lighting! Not to say the rest of the mods are any less incredible. Crazy build!
Hearing that coyote high in the rpm range gave me chills and goosebumps
What a sound!
Chris & Shawn - y’all both dun, dun it agin...! I thought, Ruffian CARS...?! There’s MORE of them...?!
Chris, there’s never been anything brought me more joy either before or since than the cake-slice out of the front fenders of your Ruffian #1, Shawn saying he was trying to figure out what you’d done and the story behind it. I admire and congratulate this bolder project and your greater capabilities - and that serious partners now recognise this. The growth in your confidence is as apparent as your capabilities - very well done!
And well done Shawn for sticking with Chris and bringing this to all of us...!
Ford Gt is the best car ford ever made. In my humble opinion.
Right hand drive w/Right hand shift? Outstanding!
🤤🤤 dude what! Lol yeah he really meant it when he didn't want it sounding like another fast aluminator, this thing sounds like no other. Long gear greatness lol probably hitting 50 to 60 mph in first gear😄
Overall I'm in love with this thing, the design, the hard labor, the patience, the passion, the determination, the skill. Much respect to this man. Smh still got goosebumps after the video lol guys on automotive Crack man tf! #greatbuild
Yup, 60mph in first. Three digits in second gear by redline. Pulls really, really hard above 4500 rpm.
I bet he has the best car duo in the whole town.
Do what u gotta do…never listen to people with poor vision. Car looks 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Agreed all the way
This is by far one of the best whip’s you have showcased. Absolutely insane! 🤯
RSD with a RSD shifter now that's cool! 💯🏁
Now all Mustangs want to sound like this GT40.
Most unique v8 sound I've ever heard.
Wow, this guy's fabrication skills are unreal. Amazing sound on that thing... looks like a blast.
One of the best gt40 i ever see!!! Very good job it looks soooooo fantastic! The rear wheels are so cool, i think i love this car!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
You’re English works fine. I understand you and love this car too!
Potentially the most beautiful thing I ever did see!
This build stopped people in their tracks in the Toyo treadpass at last year's SEMA show. Amazing build.
Whoa that's an awesome car. The headlights and air intake give off a huge Mclaren F1 vibe if you squint. Way to modernize an almost 60 year old design!
He took the perfect original and did a killer upgrade
This GT40 Dream Machine really stands atop the mountain of legendary cars in a very narrow circle. Not only for the fact of what it is as a GT40 Beast Build; but the entire execution, fit and finish of the build, engineering and sheer class of performance and quality. This thing brings tears to my eyes as one of the most jaw dropping car builds I've ever seen in my life, one of one barely begins to describe this Gem of a car... It is otherworldly perfect, the history and legacy and the countless upgrades to the famous formula and the way it all comes together. One of those things man that makes you appreciate being alive today for truly just how god damn perfect this piece of automotive art could be. Stellar cinema
wow I'm actually looking at the coolest Ford Gt I've ever seen
The absolute best of a resto race car it is wicked
I love the drive by wire mod 🤯 that was such a simple unique mod that I’ve never seen or heard of. That’s awesome.
Genius creative move there
Love the sound of that big Ford. That exhaust system looks crazy. The bodywork and additions are stellar. Obviously beyond the range of most if us but a super cool car. Looks like a great car to drive and ride in. Be safe and stay well.
I need one of these in my life....new supercars no longer appeal to me with all the electronics, etc. I need the rawness of an old car with the performance of a new car. I love the classic GT-40 look with the widebody....America at its best. I need something that you won't see at Cars of Coffee but can run track days in 90 degree heat and beat 99% of the cars out there. What an epic ride, well done!
The best audio system ever installed.
That sounds amazing, Chris is so good with his builds!
His final product from conceptual is on par with billion dollar engineering firms making the same parts. Absolutely incredible. He's definitely a professional in this field, or comes from it. I don't even see the most popular supercar mod shops making this quality.
Absolutely amazing, to improve an already great design. The result speaks for itself to shut the critics up.
That car is just perfect bro,ruffing is the guy that change a old version GT40 and made a 2020 update 🥰
Now that is a fine and creative build. Love it!
You did very well with this showcase. Very good choice. Extremely rad car..
this thing makes all the right sounds..! Hell yeah..
Man dud you be finding killer car the GT40 is the or was the dream car I'm 63 to old. That man has a wonderful talent that car is mouth watering thanks for the beautiful video 😂😂😎👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽
"Don''t modify it's perfect the way it is" Well I believe he has the right idea, if it ain't broke, Modify it anyway! I've said it before, people should build what moves them, and them alone. If it puts a smile on your face every time you get in it, it don't matter what anyone else thinks. Also, glad you're back in the game Shawn, we missed you!
Followed this build on IG, absolutely stunning in every way, especially those headers and the sounds they emit. Music to my ears. The color, the wheels, really everything about this car is absolutely perfect.
To take what many consider the greatest looking car ever built and to make it even better is astonishing
Absolutely bonkers of craftsmanship! There isn't enuff road to go through all the gears!! So bad azz!!
The gearing makes the car. I love how much better it sounds then a short gear setup, what a great car.
Yes, it sounds like it belongs on the race track this way.
I respectfully disagree. I don’t think it needs to be a lot shorter, just a little bit would make it much more fun to drive. Plus you’d hear more of the rev range. Either way amazing machine.
I’m 2 min in and I already know this is the most impressive car you guys have ever featured. Impressive shit!!! Love this thing!
Damn boi! That sum beeyotch looks fast sittin' still!
god it's perfect.
It looks like a render in the best way possible.
I know what you mean! Killer custom GT40
That thing sounds like the love child of a GT 350 & a Ferrari! Awesome build!
joey mcc - yes!
Very very nicely done!
My Favorite GT40!! That thing is the stuff of dreams!!
That man’s a serious problem. What a talent.
Such a creative guy
Man, that's usually not my style of car (I usually like muscle cars), but that's well done!
Glad you're back in action Shawn. Maaaan, Chris builds SICK cars but this one must be right up there. Maybe this should be the new benchmark for GT40's. That cross-plane crank does it's job. Whole car is just straight up badass and bitchin' ride. Great video, thanks 👍🏻 👊🏻
Beyond awesome sound, it just Screamed at 8,000. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺
Unreal talent.
True car goals 🔥🔥🔥
Fabulous work. The stuff of dreams
Wrong.
@@Gma7788 eh?
Easily one of the coolest builds from the coolest builders of 2021
BJ - well said; totally agree...!
Chris is killing the car game ..the mustang and the gt40
The only thing I don't like, is that I will never get to drive it.
bro don't let Manny koshbin see this car he'll probably make you sell it to him!! lol This is by far one of the best ford builds I've ever witnessed on RUclips. This car looks like a demonic whale wait to swallow its next road victims. fucking bananas I LVOE IT!!
Craziest GT40 in the world....holy crap!!
No doubt! He did so many cool mods to an already great car
Best looking gt40 ive ever seen!
No question
Love this car! I was surprised to see how much the hood shook while driving it. Do all GT40’s do that?? I think it would make me nuts
They do. He’s working on a lightweight structural support to eliminate that shake which drives him nuts as well
That revving up to redline is awesome! Love that sound!
Great 👍 job...that smile 😃 says everything
Such a great build of an already great car
Ken Miles would be proud of this build!
Good grief just when you think he’s gonna shift it just keeps on climbing. It looks just ridiculously wide, I bet it feels so planted to the ground. Awesome build, that dude looks like a humble surfer not a bitchin car builder 👍
Yesss! He Gotta be hitting 60+ in first gear alone lol
Guy changed the whole demeanor of the aluminator block. Incredible!
Bet it does a lot more than 60 in first.
As a comparisons I had a buddy in high school back in the 70’s with a ‘69 Z28. He could hit 60 in first with a 4.11 rear gear and the close ratio Muncie which had a tall 2.20 first gear. He had to spin it to over 7000 to hit 60 and ended up spinning a bearing.
@@danmyers9372 dope man, the man himself commented on my other comment lol he says he's definitely hitting triple digits in 2nd gear lol
Humble surfer come bitchin’ car builder sums up Chris perfectly... 🤣🤣🤣
はろー
Bonjour
Hola!
Both cars are so bad ass. Im with you on the right hand drive and right hand shift. Didnt even know that was possible. Very cool build!
It's a cable trans, in theory you could mount the shifter to the roof if you wanted
Astounding Wood Elf craftsmanship!
Terrestrial fighter jet. Incredible taste.
The sounds is so sick it sounds like nothing else
Yep. Totally unique
Those custom headlights are a master piece. Hell the whole thing is a master piece.
That might be the sickest looking car I've ever seen. It doesn't have a bad angle. 👌👌👌
That's a true car builder when they say " I bought it and tore it apart "
Both those cars are PERFECT.
that mug is BADD AZZ 💥
Awesome rendering of a gt40!
