Factory Five Customer Bill W. Scores Magazine Ink!

Factory Five customer Bill Wilson from Las Vegas, NV was profiled in the new Vegas Automotive Magazine Issue 1!

“Growing up I spent countless hours reading car magazines and dreaming of the day I could have a car worthy of a magazine. The magazines have eluded me thus far, despite several TV appearances on Street Outlaws, Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carrini, Bad Ink on A&E TV, and a Special Olympics commercial. This year has brought my goals though with both the cover of a calendar AND a magazine cover and feature article. I know magazines are a dying breed but it is a huge thrill for me to have this exposure for the car. Vegas Auto Mag if you want to see the whole magazine online.” – Bill Wilson

Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Three Generations Embark on a Type 65 Coupe Dream Build

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor.
