Creating a beautiful Ford GT40 took dedication and expertise combined with four years of hard work. The stunning, hand-built vehicle underwent various stages of assembly, from finishing the doors and connecting different tanks to manufacturing smaller parts such as the base of the gear lever or the petrol tank cap. Yet, despite the time and effort required to build each component, Benjamin was determined to create a masterpiece.
The engine, a V-8, was not built from scratch but was chosen for its thrilling performance. Installing the exhaust pipes brought the car to life and marked a turning point in the project, with the manufacturer’s excitement palpable. Additionally, Benjamin installed a ventilation system to keep the engine cool.
The next phase of the project involved the assembly of the dashboard and various panels, as well as the installation of the rear and front headlights. Finally, the interior details were painted, giving the custom GT40 a menacing appearance. Despite the progress, the body was still in development, as the project reached the final phase in late 2020. However, the results of Benjamin’s commitment and perseverance were undeniable.
