Clint F. and Family Tour Factory Five Headquarters!

Posted on December 13, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

Clint F. and his family—Lindsay (wife), Avery (daughter), and Cameron (son)—visited Factory Five this afternoon while in town visiting his parents. Traveling all the way from Colorado, the family has been hard at work on their Mk4 Roadster.

Fun fact: Clint made a mug with a Roadster on it back in 7th grade and kept it! Building a Roadster has been his dream ever since, and now that dream is becoming reality one wrench turn at a time.

During their visit, Clint and his family toured the facility, enjoyed seeing the process, and got to sit in a finished Roadster. This build has been a true family effort, with everyone pitching in and even signing the footbox! While we can’t wait to see their completed car, their story of working together across generations truly warms our hearts.
