Customer Mark J. at Chrome In The Dome Car Show

Posted on March 22, 2024 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Customer Mark J. attended the Chrome In The Dome car show at the Idaho State University’s Holt Arena last weekend. Mark says, “It is always a very enjoyable event and the conditions inside the arena make for a perfect setting. I brought my two young grandsons with me to experience the show and learn more about classic cars. They also served as a great touch-up crew and kept the Cobra in perfect condition.

We were presented with the best 60’s Sport Car award and were a crowd favorite. I was kept busy both days answering questions and praising Factory Five Racing. I was even interviewed by a Spanish travel show out of Madrid, Spain called Madrileños Por El Mundo. They travel the world and share shows about the interesting things you can find in various cities and countries. I speak fluent Spanish and have been to Madrid several times, so they were very interested in hearing my thoughts!

Anyway, thanks again for helping me get my steering problem resolved. If it hadn’t been for your help and guidance, I would have missed the show.”

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s.
