Customer David T. Brings Recently Finished Mk4 to HB Cruise-In

Factory Five customer David T. from La Jolla, CA recently finished his Mk4 Roadster and can now call it an award-winning build.  At this past weekend’s Factory Five Huntington Beach Cruise-In, David’s Mk4 was awarded ‘Editors’ Choice’ by Hot Rod Magazine!

David visited us here in Wareham, MA back in 2012 to take a tour of the factory and meet the team.  Owner Dave Smith was around, and after talking with David in the showroom for a little bit, grabbed the keys to FFR’s red, Ford 5.0L Coyote-powered Mk4 Roadster, and took David for a cruise around town.  “I was hooked!” wrote David.

David’s a pediatric dentist by day, so attention to detail is a big part of his life and he didn’t want his Mk4 build to be any different.  He spent a little over a year putting his Roadster together using a Ford 5.0L Coyote to power it, Tremec TKO 600, and Moser 8.8 rear.  He also went with the Wilwood brakes, wipers, and heater options from Factory Five. David incorporated a few convenience features including heated seats, trunk mounted blue tooth stereo, electronically controlled e-brake, power steering, and power brakes. The paint was done by Jeff “Da Bat” Miller at Miller Customs.
