Customer Dale A.'s Mk4 Headlines at Summit Racing!

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Factory Five customers always amaze us with the quality of their builds and the places their cars go. We met customer Dale A. down in Panama City, FL at the 2015 Emerald Coast Cruizin’ and were blown away by his beautiful blue Mk4 Roadster. Dale built the car, and the good boys at Whitby Motorcars laid down a killer paint job.

Over the winter, we heard that Dale won “Best in Class” AND the O’Reily Auto Parts Choice Award at the 2016 World of Wheels show in Birmingham, AL. And now, Summit Racing has picked his car to be displayed in their McDonough, Georgia store! The car is on display from June 15th thru July 13th! Here are some pics.

Dale’s car looks very cool inside the Summit Racing location here in Georgia.

We first saw Dale’s car at the 2015 Emerald Coast Cruizin’. Above: Dale with Christy Lee from All Girls Garage!

Dale also won “Best in Class” AND the O’Reily Auto Parts Choice Award at the 2016 World of Wheels show in Birmingham, AL earlier this year! Read more.

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
