Component Panels, Engines, and Chassis Variations
At 5:58 in
Holman Moody is Building The LAST Original Ford GT40 MKII Chassis In The World! (Insane History)
What happens here
A wall in the shop is covered with numerous component panels, which Paul explains are used to construct the chassis. He mentions that many of these are 'extras' to be used if a car is wrecked. He then shows an engine, revealing that it is a 4-barrel tunnel port designed to go into a car later that summer. The tour continues to showcase more raw chassis in various stages of completion, including a coupe chassis for a full-roof model, distinct from the roadsters. He also points out unique seats, noting the various designs used over time, describing them as being deep like a 'bathtub' for the driver.
Goal: Showcase the variety of chassis components, engines, and different GT40 body styles.
