Customer Bob B.’s Beautiful Build!

I met Factory Five customer Bob Boyce when he picked up his Mk4 Roadster last winter (a year ago). Super guy, and like a lot of Factory Five customers, still waters run deep. Turns out Bob is quite a talented guy and in less than a year, he turned our Factory Five Roadster kit into a beautiful classic.

Bob posted his progress on a Factory Five customer forum and I thought I’d share his post here. Dig on these photos and read more on the forum. Now that Bob is finished with his Mk4 Roadster, he is thinking about building a Gen 3 Coupe or ’33 Hot Rod. I hope he does because he makes us look good every time he picks up a tool.

Bob did his own paint!


I’ve been looking at Cobra replicas for more than 25 years and I NEVER get tired of a blue paint job.


Great job, Bob! Congratulations from everyone at Factory Five.
