Wrecked Ford GT Transformation: Complete Rebuild for SEMA Show

Ford GT Rebuild for SEMA

• 🚀 The legendary American supercar, a Ford GT, was wrecked and has undergone a complete transformation for the 2025 SEMA show.
• 🛠️ Key stages included installing a Doran Racing GT2 dry carbon widebody kit, painting, and fitting new suspension and brakes.
• 💡 The engine was diagnosed, installed, and fired up for the first time in 18 years, marking a significant milestone.

Final Assembly and Customization

• 🌟 The final details include custom HRE wheels, a complete interior with Sparco racing seats, and a custom titanium exhaust system.
• 💨 WD-40 Specialist Penetrant was used for reassembly to lubricate threads and prevent corrosion.
• 🔊 A custom titanium exhaust by Vibrant was fabricated using pie cuts, noted for its incredibly light weight.

Interior and Exterior Enhancements

• 🏎️ Sparco SPX seats were installed, featuring full carbon backs and low mounts, adapted to factory rails.
• 💡 A custom subwoofer was integrated, addressing a common modification that can block the view of the pulley system.
• ⛽ A Sparco gas door was mounted on the fender, replacing the factory location.

Advanced Cooling and Lighting

• ❄️ CSF coolers, including a custom coolant stack (radiator, AC condenser, power steering cooler, and supercharger air-to-air cooler), were installed, designed specifically for this project and to be available to the public post-SEMA.
• 💡 Custom headlights were designed with daytime running lights, switchbacks, high/low beams, and integrated into a carbon fiber tub, exposing the material.
• 💡 Doran Racing Lexan headlight covers were fitted after being body-worked and panel-bonded into the carbon fiber tub.

Final Touches and Reveal

• 🎨 The car received a loud, aggressive WD40 livery designed by Blackfish Graphics, printed by Blackfish Graphics, to showcase the exposed carbon fiber.
• 🎣 A Cusco tow hook was installed on the front, featuring a detent for easy up and down movement.
• 💨 Billet vents were panel-bonded into the rear clamshell, a common problem area for Ford GTs, made from billet aluminum and painted gloss black.
• ✨ The completed Ford GT, described as a "life-size Jada toy car," is ready for the SEMA show, with the team expressing immense pride in the project.
