Factory Fives Make Waves on the Other Side of The Pond

It’s cool to see Factory Fives getting press on the other side of the Atlantic! A few years ago, we debuted a beautiful race rod built by Peter Skogland and his sons from Sweden. Their car debuted at the 2012 SEMA Show.  Since then, there have been a slew of really great builds in Europe.  Here are a few that have been highlighted in some German performance magazines.  Note: The articles are in German.

The October 2014 issue of “Chrome & Flame” Magazine (at least that’s we believe “Chrom & Flamen” mean) profiles a Factory Five ’33 built in Switzerland, and the German “Street Magazine” profiles a how-to tech article on a Factory Five ’33 with the help from the boys at Hammink Performance.

Check out the full articles below.

More and more of our business is international and we’re excited to support customers overseas with their Factory Five builds!
