Customer Greg G.’s ‘33 Gets Ink!

ReinCARnation Magazine’s inaugural September 2016 issue profiles Factory Five customer Greg Grant and his supercharged ’33 Hot Rod!  We met Greg last year at the annual Factory Five-Huntington Beach Cruise-In where his bright orange ’33 won an Editors’ Choice Award from Steve Temple at Car Builder Magazine.  Greg runs a mining equipment company and incorporated a ton of very cool custom mods.  With a modest 6 pounds of boost from the 6-71 Weiand blower, the motor was dynoed at over 600 HP. Custom wheels, custom interior, and starting out with a great 383 stroker from BluePrint Engines, Greg’s car turns heads everywhere he goes.

You can read full details on Greg’s car in the current issue of ReinCARnation Magazine or on their website here.

They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s.
