A Weekend at the Factory Five Build School

The Factory Five Build School is a hands-on experience that gives customers the knowledge and confidence to tackle their own builds and build lifelong friendships with like-minded people! Here’s a look at what happened during this past weekend’s class at Mott Community College.

Day 1 Initial Assembly

Day one went great! Students worked on the rear end, gas tank, front suspension, steering, e-brake, ride height, and rough alignment. By the end of the day, everyone had a strong start on the build and was ready for more hands-on learning.

Day 2 Systems and First Start

Day two was a blast! The class made it all the way to first start. Students got a visit from Paul B. with his gorgeous Type 65 Coupe, plus a few other customers joined for lunch.

Steering, drivetrain, and interior work continued, and the camaraderie among builders made the day even more enjoyable.

Day 3 Final Assembly and Test Drive

On the final day, the body went on the car, and one of the instructors took it for a test drive. The roar of the engine and seeing the car come to life was the perfect way to wrap up the class.

The Build School gives students hands-on instruction, insider tips from experts, and the confidence to tackle their own builds. Three days of learning, teamwork, and driving excitement make it an unforgettable experience.
