Many people overcome challenges everyday, and it’s these people who inspire us to be brave and think outside the box.  That is exactly what Bob Clark did with his Mk2 Roadster.

 

 

Bob is 6’2” 250lbs, and typically his first question would be “am I going to fit in this car comfortably?” but this was the least of his concerns.  Bob is paralyzed from his mid chest down and this made his build a little different. This did not discourage him; instead he built his roadster using hand controls with a traditional rod for the brake and a motorcycle hand throttle.  He placed his driver side seat on a rotating lift for ease in and out of the car.

This was a first here at Factory Five: a pin dive, IRS, Mk2 with hand controls and a rotating driver seat, quite remarkable to say the least.  Bob didn’t put any limitations on himself or his abilities and took a chance. His roadster is now complete and has roughly 2000 miles on it.  He’s been having a blast driving his car and hopes next to build one for his 11 year old son, or maybe build the new 33 Hot Rod.

 
 
Thank you Bob, for inspiring all of us and proving that though things may seem impossible, the fact of the matter is, anything is possible!
