As his “single most rewarding project (he’s) ever undertaken”, Bill Dane is beyond happy with his Factory Five.  Recently, we stumbled onto his website, which is a remarkable step by step chronology of his build and the pride that has gone into each step along the way, and it’s immediately evident.
 

Along with the “big thanks to Factory Five Racing - first for producing such a high quality product that allows average Joes like us to build way cool, high-performance cars like these, and secondly, for standing behind the products and taking care of things when necessary”, Bill is thankful to everyone who has had a hand in helping him to complete his dream car.
 

Bill’s beautiful Mk3 Roadster includes a list of features that rival the best Swiss army knife:

  • Engine Factory 351w/400hp crate motor (1974 block with roller cam conversion), with complete Edelbrock Performer RPM package
  • Wilwood pedalbox/hydraulic clutch from Forte’s Parts Connection
  • Tremec TKO500 tranny with mid-shift kit from Fortes
  • 13" Cobra brakes from Fortes
  • 8.8 rear with 3.73 gears from Fortes
  • 3-Link bracing from Vintage Performance
