I love that Stacey has embraced UA-cam. Watching this this morning is taking me right back to early morning shade tree mechanic shows I used to catch on the weekends.
Awesome show Stacey. I've been watching since Trucks! I still watch Music City Trucks too, and it looks like they're still using the hoist you got installed? Lol. So awesome. Keep up the good work.
At 14 years old i built my first car, a 1974 Bradley GT2 found unassembled still new in the boxes on eBay for cheap in 2005. I still have it to this day, has 530 miles, it's still brand new.
Stacey, awesome episode! Can't wait to see future ones of this build. Thank you for keeping your channel up and running as car shows today seem to have gone away from the normal car person. Keep it up brother!
This car and the Ferrari 288 GTO are my favorite cars of any dream car. I’ve been waiting for a worthy version of the M6 gt and finally its here! New goal marker set….
Looks great and I like your choice of engine being a Ford guy. I used to work at Manta Cars in Santa Ana back in the 70s and your "kit" is a quantum leap compared to what we produced.
Thank you for continuing to take us on your journey!!! Your show is soooo fun to watch! My son and I both really enjoy your show. Keep up the great work! Thank you !
Been watching you since the PowerBlock and Trucks days! Absolutely love that you’re still going brother! Still, nothing tops Project Copperhead for me!
I just stumbled on your channel. I have been in the game a bit longer, by decades, than most. Cool chassis. The transaxle has always been the issue with such builds. Expensive, hard to get, or weak. Take your pick. As they used to say, you can have it done right, you can have it done cheap, or you can have it done fast, pick two, you can't have all three. Predictably, your transaxle is the weak link. I think I would break it the first time out. Love the exhaust. It wasn't long ago that you couldn't call up a supplier and order such a thing. Installing it is quite a different matter from fabricating it from scratch. It's amazing what can be built today just by calling the right place and ordering the right parts.
That's a fair point about the transaxle. This is still in development, so they're looking for other options that are stronger but still affordable. This one has held up so far during testing though!
Here we go again..when you showed the SLC car a few years ago, I almost pulled the trigger on it. But after going on their configurator and coming up with a 6 figure cost just for the kit, I had to pass. Hopefully this one will be more buyer friendly (cheaper) PS..love the Kaase motor! Also love the 180 headers. Just sent my down payment for a set of these for my Pantera, gonna look good with my 4 down-draft webbers!
when i was going up in the 1950 there was no auto shops in school we had a machine shop with lathes surface grinders planers aluminum casting and the hot rodders would take our parts in and make more compression using the tools at hat time i had a 1928 ford coupe it had a 200 ci four banger that would run at 105 flat out like your show cool stuf
Stacy, I want to wide body a car. But when I build the wide body, I don't want to have the ability to remove the panels, instead of the wide body being welded to the body. Which can't be done because the car is fiberglass as well. What would be the best way fo do so...
Question for you Stacey....and all you mechanics out there. Last Sunday I got a new door latch for my 2000 Pontiac Trans Am. Because mine was broken and I couldn’t lock the door anymore. After installing it, I close the latch and pulled the outside handle. It popped open. I close the latch again and pulled the inside handle. It popped open. So I closed the door. Now the door won’t open.🤬After closer looking at the door after I cooled off…😑I can see the door is closed more than it used to be. My guess is the latch is binding on the shaft on the B pillar. I have no idea how to open the door now. Any ideas?🧐
Thinking down the road, it’d be interesting to take this for a visit to a wind tunnel. Might make for a interesting episode, as I suspect there are some minimal changes that could make for some decent performance gains.
Welcome to ten years ago. Always an issue when first published videos hit. They also still unsubscribe people randomly from channels regardless if you have notifications on, been a follow for one year or ten years. 😂
If i ever build a kit car then it is probably going to be a car that are less claustrofobic and more practical. Something like a Mustang or a Camaro kind of car.
Awesome little car but definitely should be tweaked to be more adaptable for different siz e of people , I'm 5'10" I'd probably squeeze in there but doesn't look like Stacey would fit in there to good . Lol
Man that body is looking rough, I get having it braces but still using wood? Thats some 80s lotus tech right there. If he’s trying to build something modern, there are much better ways to reinforce a body. And to make a kit that is that rough, is crazy. Factory 5’s are like a finished body compared to this one. Feel sorry for whoever gets stuck with the bodywork…
@ That makes much more sense now 😂 I hope they use something other than wood though. Btw, been watching you on and off since 99 when you hosted trucks. Glad to see you’re still at it!
I know when I'm listening to a professional when they say Foot pounds. Just kidding. It's Pounds/Foot. 500lbs/ 1 foot. Not 1lb 500 foot lever. Lever weighs more than a pound. I have to check myself when considering ballistic energy which is foot pounds. Actually a square foot with force in pounds. That frame looks easy to build...
@@marklangren3142 the race cars of that area ran chevys in the us but ford cosworth in the rest of the world. Bruce raced his sports cars with ford engines, won Le Mans with ford engines, won f1 races with ford v8s . I really don’t see the issue..
@Mi-Chis The Ford cosworth is Ford in development dollars only, Ford has yet to design a low cubic inch engine that can rev McLaren ran a cosworth in his F1 cars because it was the lowest cost with horsepower In europe his sports car ran chevies He was a factory driver for Ford at lemans, as with any driver give me enough money and I will race your junk, by the way the winner that year was actually Ken miles, but because McLaren started 9 ft back of miles and Ford ordered a 3 way finish the French gave the win to McLaren By the way Ford has yet to produce a 3 ltr normally motor that can rev
stretching the wheelbase risks throwing off the proportions and it would be a shame to spoil the look and dynamics of a classic just so fat 21st century middle aged guys can fit.

Every weekend 9-11am lol. Great times.
I've been watching you and learning from you since I was 13 I'm 38 now. Dude time flew by. Thanks for a great child hood.
Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thank you for watching!
That thing is going to be sick ! My buddy had a 351 Cleveland in 77 Ford truck when I was in high school , 4 speed I loved that truck !
It’s interesting you chose a Ford based engine for this. McLaren was more closely aligned with Chevy and the M6GT was planned to have a Chevy engine.
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Happy turkey day Blessings to the family

Thats one of the best lind of build ! That frame and body is insane !
Another great show Stacey!!!!! Looks like you have the only real car show left after Warner Brothers cancelled every Motortrend show!!!!!!

Stacey never disappoints and takes time to get you up to speed
Thanks Stacey!
I had a 302 grabber and a mustang 2 with a 302. Cheapest fun cars I ever used.
If I built this kit I would paint it up as the Coyote X, there's just no other paint job that would fit.

TV show hard castle and McCormick the Cody Coyote
My thoughts exactly.
@@cshead+ great minds think alike 😉
@@cshead+ great minds think alike 😉
Manta Montage...not really McLaren inspired like the tube framed V8 powered Manta.
best build of all time🥳
Reminds me of the Coyote from the 80's show Hardcastle and McCormick
That body screams Hardcastle and McCormick Coyote X car.
The Coyote X was a Manta Montage, which was based on the McLaren M6GT design!
Love that car it's gonna be awesome when it's done
P L E A S E make a Cody Coyote out of this vehicle!! I know the Manta Montage was originally used but the Montage was also a replica of the M6GT...

The exhaust is called 180 degree headers improves exhaust scavenging. Read up on it 👍
I contacted KAASE & they said they were Not making the SBF 289/302/351 P38 Heads anymore? WTH?
Does the exhaust have a crossover for one cylinder from each bank?
This is so cool!😎👍

I hope this doesn't turn out like the SLC kit car went on this show.
Way to go Stacey!👍
Awesome!
Thanks!
Good luck getting a windshield for this car!
UA-cam has a broken crankshaft! I gave the video a thumbs up, and the site still shows zero thumbs up.
Thanks anyway!
For it to show you have to exit the vid and return to it
@@sketchyssk8shop Thanks. Got to love UA-cam glitches.

Make sure your armrest still subscribed. I checked to see if I was and it just said subscribe and not subscribed
Could you imagine doing those headers for the very first time!
If i ever build a kit car then it is probably going to be a car that are less claustrofobic and more practical.
Something like a Mustang or a Camaro kind of car.
13:35 that's a Coyote X kit body.
Does anyone make that style intake for a bbc that would be cool.
It looks like a Cody coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick!
My dream car!
@insaneconqueror5421 drive to keep in gear! Under the hood got the bad and good. 😃
There is a reason for that. The show used a kit car called the Manta Montage. The appearance of the Montage was based on the McLaren.
While the pipes are accessible , wouldn’t that be a good time to WRAP them ?
👍👍
Awesome little car but definitely should be tweaked to be more adaptable for different siz e of people , I'm 5'10" I'd probably squeeze in there but doesn't look like Stacey would fit in there to good . Lol
@14:23, are you sure those are not cup holders?????
Manta Mirage or Manta Montage from the 70s ? 🙂
It's the CoyoteX
Man that body is looking rough, I get having it braces but still using wood? Thats some 80s lotus tech right there.

It's still a prototype. They're looking at ways to upgrade the body.
@ That makes much more sense now 😂 I hope they use something other than wood though. Btw, been watching you on and off since 99 when you hosted trucks. Glad to see you’re still at it!
Dude! You forgot to wrap the tubes! ;-)
nice
Please don't put led headlights in it.
if I had the money I would love to build my Stirling Nova using this chassis and making it a mid engine.
Should have used the mirage body instead of the montage
Man, that front clamshell is rough as a corn cob enema. That's going to take days to sort.
It's the prototype body.
Headers look cool but seem like a nightmare for checking/changing spark plugs.
Inspired
Looks like a Coyote kit car.
Missing granny bolts ?
Ok so i cant get over the hair

all sponsored commercials for builds. naw, don't need that
burn-outs in the parkinglot; jr. high education
What happened ???????????????????????????????????????????
Gene Simmons ?
Funny hair
Ford in a McLaren is sacrilege
Why? Bruce McLaren won Le Mans in a Ford.
@Mi-Chis McLaren cars from McLaren in sports cars always ran chevies. The real M6BGT ran a chevy
You might try googling ‘McLaren M81 Mustang.’
@@marklangren3142 the race cars of that area ran chevys in the us but ford cosworth in the rest of the world.
Bruce raced his sports cars with ford engines, won Le Mans with ford engines, won f1 races with ford v8s .
I really don’t see the issue..
@Mi-Chis The Ford cosworth is Ford in development dollars only, Ford has yet to design a low cubic inch engine that can rev
McLaren ran a cosworth in his F1 cars because it was the lowest cost with horsepower

heh-heh
Calling this car a McLaren 6GT might be of interest to the actual McLaren car company legal team?
Ok ken🙄
