My Dad and I built a FF MK4 with a Ford Coyote a couple of years ago. Love it, love driving it, but miss the fun and challenge of building it. We are considering a new project, and are trying to decide if we build a FF Coupe, a GT40 (obviously from someone other than FF), or the GTM. From what I can tell, the Coupe would be very similar to the Roadster, but the GTM seems to be a whole different beast, and maybe a different degree of skill and fabrication required. Given that you guys are the experts having built these, and I'm sure some of you have built both, I'd be curious to get opinions on the similarities, differences to the actual build. Any thoughts and advice are sure appreciated. I know that the 3 cars we are considering are widely different and the actual decision won't just be on the skill level, but the car we want, but I also don't want to take on something that is beyond my skillset. The Roadster just seemed to have a wide variety of options that could bolt in, and a very well documented manual and strong community to support. I suspect the GTM is similar but don't know that for sure.
The GT40 would be my first pick in terms of a car to replicate. My main concern there is getting caught up with a kit that isn't of the same quality of FF. There doesn't seem to be anyone as dominant in that market as FF is in the Roadster. I love the look of the GTM, and just in looking at it have to believe that it took some design attributes from the GT40 in the first place. Sort of the modern day GT40 (prior to Ford's recent announcement).
I'd sure appreciate your thoughts on the build differences and anything else I may want to, or should consider. Thx in advance
Any thoughts or comments are sure appreciated.
