First drive Video: GT MKIV
Well, it's been a long time and a lot of work, but I took her around the block today. Far from finished, but making progress! :)
Turn up the sound and hit the HQ button for better image quality. Short and sweet.

Congrats on your first ride. I remember my first ride around the block in my Cobra and I know how you feel. That's an awesome car you have there. I hope to own a GT40 myself someday. Good luck.

You showed remarkable restraint on that first drive Brent, or did the video clip finish toooo soon?
Congrats.

Scared the hell outta those poor kids trying to cross the street down there on the left! Perhaps your reputation proceeds you?

You noticed that! It was pretty funny up close. Those girls didn't know what to think. :)

I'm a little dissapointed that you won't be able to polish this one. :)
Sounds awesome though. :D

I'm a little dissapointed that I can't polish it too...I know how to do that. Body and paint..not so much. Not looking forward to that bill!

Great Job!
Brent,
looks great...been following your build and am quite impressed. How do you like the RCR kit and the support from Fran? I am thinking long and hard about one.
Thinking of a MKI w/ a destroked dry sumped Cup motor painted Linden Green for some time track use.
But...the MKIV is REALLY growing on me and always in the corner of my eye is their SuperLite Coupe, which w/ an LS7 would be quite tasty.
Decisions...decisions.%/%/%/

Hey John, that sounds like a very nice plan for an RCR! Fran makes himself very accessible and likes to help. He definitely has a passion for the cars and his business.

Pat, it should be a lot of fun when I'm done. Engine is out now and hopefully will go to the paint shop next week....Want to have her on the road this summer for sure.

Ron, I know...you and I have exchanged PMs on GT40s.com...you gave me the inspration for the MKI with the cup motor!....I am SDW Racing there and saw your car at the SAAC convetion at Thunderbolt.
...and if you ever want to sell that RCR, please let me know!
Brent...really nice job on the MKIV.....very sweet.
Probably going to do something within a year or so.
