I decided to sell my 07 and O2 Corvette my 240 SX and my super turbo and I guarantee you I will make this a daily driver. Just put better tires on it.

Music is god awful! Why would you ruin your video like that?

Impressive!

Those leaks seem solvable. Not that I think a Type 65 is a good DD, but nevertheless, the leads don't seem like a deal killer.

IT'S A KIT CAR YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNO IT'S NOT PERFECT QUIT CRYING ND TRYING TO MAKE THE COMPANY THAT HAS MADE SO MANY PEOPLE HAPPY WITH WAT THEY BOUGHT BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER B ABLE TO AFFORD THE REAL THING . I MYSELF THINK THEY ARE COMPLETELY BADASS FOR SELLING THESE REPLICAS

The sun was in your eyes.

I wouldn't tune for Autocross if you're not planning to Autocross much. I've driven many Fwd, Rwd, and AWD cars on autocross. Based on what I saw in the short vid, I think it's just a matter of a little earlier brake application, possibly some trail braking, and more aggressive throttle on exit to rotate. Don't change a thing. Love it. I hope to start a coupe project in the next few yrs once my Wagoneer project is done.

I always wondered if the difference between front and rear tires ie (245 & 295) will produce under or oversteer. ... BTW did you repaint the car. It looks super sharp.

Some of understeer in that run could be overcome with more deliberate trailbraking. That last turn you could have gone into it a little faster and then trail brake little later. For suspension set up try little more toe out up front, maybe softer setting on front shock if adjustable to allow better weight transfer.

Can I build one of this for less than 50k thank you 🙏

This car is beautiful, but it looks like it is not for a tall driver 6'-2" plus. Can you tell me what the dimension is from floor panel (base of seat) (seat belt hole) to roof? ............... I expect 38 - 41 inches???

Remember this comment. I heard a challenge starting out. I’m in a perfect position to build a type 65 just to see if I can build one that takes more abuse. No joke 1-Fully built 5.4dohc Shelby engine with a liberty prepped tr6060 in my 09 gt500 2-got the news yesterday that USAA changed their minds and will be totaling my Shelby of 11 years (rear tire dry rot blew under braking) 3- My wife (of 20 years) is divorcing me b/c I’m taking the buyback of $33k and my 23000 mile never rained on fully built 2009 gt500 Maybe she’d not hate the drivetrain if it kept it in another car (Factory Five Type 65?) Or maybe I just tell her I’m not fixing it but I will be “parting it out” :) I’d be amazed if someone caught this. My car is all I’ve got that I trust… it’s the only consistent thing in my life (consistently breaks my heart) 0:33

sounds good!

Lets talk resale value? cobbled together by some inexperienced kit car builder...............The Factory Five does not look like the original Daytona coupe. I'll go with the second version of a Daytona Coupe as DESIGNED by Peter Brock!

I guess its waterproof carcover and wait it out for this car

I want to order one of these kits. do they actually drive and function like a normal car?

Any idea what the 19 inch wheel offsets are? Factory five gives confusing info on the 15, 17 and 18 offsets ... does not make sense ........... where can I reach Patrick to ask more about his decision making ?

So how many Type 65's will be at NORC this May?

You guys have way more knowledge and skills than I do. Wish I were out your way so that I could learn from the master mechanics who are playing around with their Daytonas. Nice work!!

nice

Thank you so much for all these videos you've made ... I would not attempt any of this without seeing the dozens of videos from you and others. ..... If possible could you give me the overall dimensions .... 1) height alum dash .... 2) alum dash width left/right ...... 3) the max depth front/rear of that top dash plate with the defrost grooves.....

Great looking build! Check out our adapters for installing a gen 4 coyote cover onto a gen 3 engine. We also build billet coil covers that install over the stock Gen 3 valve covers, check them out on our website.

I love your videos ...... A smaller engine will result in lower sounds. Maybe 325 HP is enough??? .. hearing priority over deafness. . In an other of your videos, you mentioned that your car was unstable at 160 MPH. You've got big ones to attempt that speed..... Look into undertrays ,,, The bottom of your car is open and exposed to dirt, water and wind/aerodynamic turbulence. You Tube has about 6 videos on how to build these suckers. Peter Brock calls "undertrays" as ....."belly pans" ... He says that they keep your car sucked better to the road, more predictable at high speeds and increase overall stiffness. [ aluminum, fibreglass. marine woods can be used ] ..... Maybe you and your Daytona buddies can design, create one and then sell the pattern to Factory five.

Didn’t realize this was a music video. Can’t finish watching it. Sucks cause it looks good. I’ll try later with the sound off

On the Factory Five, If you use taller tires in the rear ie 295/45/18 [28.45 inches] and 245/40/18 [ 25.72 rear]: - (28.45 - 25.72 =2.73) ...... your car is now 2.73/2 =1.365 inches taller in the rear which will create that rake Peter Brock aimed for being taller in the the rear ...

Great tips! I put the very first 10 miles on my car, and when I got back home I ordered some extra ear protection to leave in the car! Will also have extra ear plugs in the car also. Lumbar support next. Thanks for the great videos.

Thanks for continuing your videos though you have completed the build. I like the front tow hook.

I have a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite with a big and powerful 948 A Series engine and straight pipes muffled only by a cherry bomb resonance chamber. It's not race car loud? Not 100 dB surely. But it's loud. I use a similar setup, noise cancelling ear plugs or regular ear plugs, but no over cover. It's almost impossible to see the ear pieces in my head, and I can understand my wife shouting from the seat next to me, after I ask her to repeat herself, so it must be fine. The seat cushion is a great idea, the seats on this Sprite are quite thin and I can get about an hour out of my ass before I have to stop. Thankfully the gas tank on the Sprite is 7 gallons and I can only do about 250 miles before I fill up.

I do much the same in mine. I have the Kirkey high backs in mine, and with a cheap gel pad in the bottom and a bit of sponge for lumbar support it’s downright comfy. I add a rolled up towel behind my neck to for a little more support. For hearing protection I use aviation grade headsets with an intercom box. Pricey, but worth every penny!!

Good advice especially on the hearing protection. Tip: check out the NIOSH hearing limits, they are lower and safer than OSHA.

Do you still get cars together up at Alice's? I am interested in starting a build and would love to check your car out and ask some questions.

Hey, been subscribed for a while. Just wondering how much noise you get due to the windows.

I ended up going with the same seats as you, in part due to your videos. Out of curiosity, do you have your seats reclined at all? I have the rear bolts one notch lower than the fronts. That made the seat much more suitable for me, albeit I haven't had a long road trip with the car yet. May end up going the cushion route. As for the earbuds, the airpods pro tested around -22db with anc for street noise. RTings has a bunch of metrics on them (and others). NRR is really about a total sound reduction which would include instantaneous sounds (e.g. hammer strike), which you're not really trying to mute.

How would it be illegal to wear ear muffs when driving since a deaf person can drive. That would be the argument I’d make

You & your channel ROCK.

Sorry, I had to bail due to a huge plumbing issue, both water main and sewage needed replacement and the Rooter Hero guys' worked on that Saturyday!!! Next time.

Cool video i like seeing all the nice rides

Love the comment about the Tesla. It doesn’t belong here, hahaa. Couldn’t agree more.

Probably been mentioned somewhere before but, what colors did you use for the blue and orange in your Gulf racing paint scheme?

Somehow I missed the notice that we were going to meet up at Alice's. Would have made an effort to be there.

Hey! John, you're famous now. I'm so impressed by your build and the confidence you have in it. Can't wait to get down to your place and see the car in person. Hopefully, I can drive mine down to see yours some time soon. My VA DMV process is taking significantly longer than yours did.

Very helpful. The car looks and sounds great

very very super awesome!

And great to hear about the CV Boots. I installed the same ones and may replace the clamp with something tighter and/or use your solution. Again, super helpful videos!

I enjoy all your videos . My kit arrives in 2 weeks. What diff are you running? Torsen or Trac-Loc ?

Awesome video and information! Thanks for the continued updates.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THOSE STATS MEAN BUT I ENJOYED SEEING CAR GO FAST

Great run

How did the new boots hold up at the Silver State?

This gentleman is the Dude. Like him, I started watching your channel a couple of years back and now at age 68 I am joining the club with my Coupe arriving from FFR next month across the pond in the UK. So posting a very big THANK YOU !!!
