LGD’s Next SolidWorks Project Filmed at Factory Five

A few weeks ago, Factory Five was busy with two film productions using the facility.
One of those productions was with Jeremy Luchini and the crew of SolidWorks’ “Let’s Go Design” as they came to Factory Five to film the opening installment for their third project. The crew thought filming at Factory Five with some cars in action would be an exciting way to kick-off the new installment of the series so Dave Smith got behind the wheel of a Type 65 Coupe and a Gen 2 GTM and had some fun. Check out the videos below:

After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
