GT40 MKII replica (almost) from scratch

[J R Jones]

From Road & Track Great video.
This builder Ben Beames is a remarkable artisan. In his monologue I recognize a lot of techniques to research and resolve mechanical issues:

His fabrication and ultimately his tuning is impressive as well.

Damn. 1900lbs.. that's light. The next on my list is an RCR40, so I love reading about these things.

And this guy.. what a hero.

This was one I built (from a kit!) in early 90's

I agree...very down-to-earth guy, with a positive message, paraphrasing, "Follow your dreams -- You can do it!" :)

Is that Dave's coupe at the 1:09 mark?

That is Dave's coupe as we autocross with Ben and his GT-40 all the time. Now that he's famous he might not want to associate with us anymore:)
We are actually talking about swapping mistresses at the next autocross as Dave and I swap frequently so I might get a chance to drive that gt40.
