Cruising 2 the Coast Show Report

Posted on May 16, 2016 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Factory Five’s Scott Bell and Dan Golub made the road trip down to Brunswick, GA for this past weekend’s Cruising 2 the Coast fundraiser hosted by Factory Five customer Preston Kunda and many of his friends in the area. Factory Five customer Garry Bopp helped out at the booth. The show turned out great with perfect weather and 120+ cars.

Preston and his son Alex worked hard to raise money for Miranda Faith Foundation.

This gorgeous orange Factory Five ‘33 Hot Rod won “Best Hot Rod” at the show.

There was a good mix of cars with vintage classics, customs, and muscle cars.

One of the only thing better than a fastback Mustang is a Factory Five Type 65 Coupe.

Hot Rods shared space with muscle cars and Cobras for a good cause.

Factory Five Dan Golub was unloading cars at first light!

We brought our Hot Rod, Type 65 Coupe, Mk4 Roadster, and our new 818C.

Above & Below: The Deep South Cobra Club arrived in force!

Factory Five customer Garry Bopp just finished overhauling his Challenge Car, but didn’t complete the car in time for the show, but he worked the entire day at the Factory Five booth.

Thanks to Preston Kunda and all of the volunteers at the Miranda Faith Foundation!
