Factory Five Crew Doing End of Year Inventory

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Not the most exciting project but absolutely critical to our business is year-end parts inventory. The crew is working on this big project for the next couple of days so if the phones are a bit slow, please bear with us. Phones will be on, but we have a skeleton crew in the office for kit and parts sales. If you have a tech question, we will be taking messages and will have one of our tech support staff help answer you questions as soon as inventory is complete. We’ll be at full strength tomorrow.

Shipping is closed today, Monday December 30, and tomorrow, Tuesday December 31st, but will be back on Thursday and Friday.

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 »
