Canadian Customer Tim N. on Adrenaline Klassic Magazine Cover!

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

The Canadian magazine Adrenaline Klassic Plus is a remarkable book, much like the storied Rodder’s Journal here in the US. The magazine is printed in two languages simultaneously, French and English, which makes it quite unique.

Printed twice a year, it is more book than magazine, and in issue 4 Factory Five Canadian customer Tim N. scores a huge front cover and 8-page article inside! Tim built a non-Factory Five Roadster and a Factory Five Type 65 Coupe. He has since sold the Roadster and is planning his next build (*ahem* – may we suggest a ’33 Hot Rod?).

I made the call to scrub FFR operations for the day. The drive in wasn’t bad, and most roads are clear. Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Three Generations Embark on a Type 65 Coupe Dream Build

January 19, 2026

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor. That curiosity for how things work turned into a lifetime of mechanical enthusiasm, passed down through generations and now culminating in Dave’s Type 65 Coupe build, which is a…
