Posted on July 13, 2018 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Huge congratulations to customer Greg R. for winning the “Best Ford in a Ford” Award at the 45th annual Back to the 50’s event in St. Paul, MN! Greg’s car is a modular 5.0L Ford Coyote-powered modern interpretation of a ’33 Hot Rod. In addition to the modern Ford crate engine, Greg’s car sports a pearl white metallic with grey stripe body rolling on 18″ and 20″ American Racing wheels. Greg carried a modern theme forward with a RacePak digital instrument display and carbon fiber highlights.

When Greg started the project, he was diagnosed with cancer. He has since been healthy for three years, and is looking forward to more car projects. Greg is active on The Factory Five Forum.

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five Racing, huge congratulations on the prestigious win!
