Factory Five Build School
at Mott Community College
 

 

Factory Five Racing leads the replica industry for a number of reasons – one of these is the Factory Five Build School at Mott Community College.  All the other companies expect you to buy their product and trust that it is well engineered, reliably put together, and actually able to be built at home.  Instead, we sponsor a hands-on workshop where you and the other students build a car from the frame through to a running, driving Factory Five Roadster.

At the end of the three-day seminar you will know everything about the Factory Five design - we’ll even reimburse $500 of the school’s tuition of $699 towards the purchase of any  Factory Five component kit!  The best part, however, is the learning curve.  By practicing on the Build School car, you can learn, testing your skills along the way, without worrying about cheesing up your own car.  What the Build School does for you, is to ensure that you have a shorter, more cost effective build, as well as a better car in the end when you go to tackle your own.

If you have any doubts about whether you have the skills to build your own Factory Five, or simply want to learn the tips and tricks of building a car from professional instructors, the Build School is a must BEFORE you buy your kit.

$500 Rebate available with Build School Attendance

In support of Mott Community College's build school in Howell, MI, Factory Five is issuing a $500 certificate for all graduates of the three day course.  The certificate provides for a discount towards the purchase of any of the award winning Factory Five Racing kits. 

(We hate these disclaimers, but sometimes we're forced to add them: This rebate cannot be offered once your kit has shipped, nor can it be combined with other offers, and unfortunately, only one rebate per kit order.)
 
 

Mott Community College, a premier cross-cultural educational institution, is committed to provide the best quality education to individuals interested in getting a first-hand look at the Factory Five kit.  In the process, the three-day build seminars provide students the practical experience of wrenching on someone else’s car prior to building their own.  Additionally, the multi-faceted automotive instructors afford each student the tips and tricks garnered through years of hot rod and educational expertise.

By working with Mott Community College, Factory Five again raises the bar for the component car industry as the only company offering the opportunity to build a car in the course of a weekend, at an accredited college. It is more than worth the $699 price of admission.
 
 
FFR is 100% behind Mott College as the only place to learn how best to build a Factory Five Mark III Roadster.  With a focus on all aspects of the build, from donor car disassembly through to body prep and paint, the instructors at Mott tailor each seminar to the skills and background of the individual students in attendance.   The customers speak for themselves (see the customer testimonials or contact us for a former student in your area).
 
We continually update Mott with our products as soon as they are developed, and the Build School is already stocked with the latest Mark III hardware.  Their displays and demonstrations are unrivaled!
 
     
 

Under the leadership of Mott's automotive instructors, Mott has taken the build school concept to a higher level.  The build seminar at Mott is now also eligible for TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) funding through GM, Ford, Chrysler and the UAW.
