Customer Dennis R. Shows Off Some of his Factory Five Mods

There is an endless amount of skill and talent in the Factory Five community, and we love it when customers share what they do with their cars with their family. Customer Dennis R. from Middle River, Maryland shared some photos of his reverse flow smoker that he built from an old air compressor. His daughter, Kat, painted on the Factory Five logo!

Above: Kat working on adding the FFR logo to the smoker. Below: The finished product with some inspiration in the background.

Dennis built his Mk4 Roadster, FFR #7365, with a 5.0L Mustang donor engine, adding Edelbrock Performance RPM aluminum heads and cam, 570 cfm Quick Fuel carburetor, T-5 transmission, 2.73 traction-lok rear end with 5-lug axles, and 4-link rear suspension. He even painted the car himself – Grabber Blue with Kona Blue stripes.

Dennis when he picked his Roadster up in October 2010. He graduated his build in May 2012.

Thanks for sharing your family’s artwork, Dennis! Glad everyone is enjoying your Mk4 Roadster!
