Can I purchase a completed Hot Rod?
We only sell the chassis and body kit parts.  However, we do know of a network of small hot rod and custom shops that will inevitably build completed race and street cars for customers.  E-mail us for a list of such businesses at info@factoryfive.com.

Note:  The companies referred to potential customers are separate and independent companies and Factory Five Racing does not warranty their parts nor workmanship.
