Factory Five Customer Gary G. Completes Hot Rod Build in 90 Days!

It’s always fun to read customer e-mails discussing their builds and we received on yesterday from Factory Five customer Gary G. with pictures of his ’33 Hot Rod that he built and registered in only 90 days!

After seeing the ’33 Hot Rod at the 2008 SEMA Show, Gary got the itch to start building one and after a few years, he decided it was time. The kit was delivered on July 16th, 2012 and Gary got to work right away having it at the rolling chassis stage in only six hours! Gary says he’s not a mechanic or in the business. “I’m just a dude with some tools and greasy fingers,” Gary wrote in his e-mail.

A week or so later, Gary was fitting the body for the first time and hanging the doors. Following getting the body fitted and painted, the decided to touch up the paint little bit more before wrapping up the last few details and heading off to the DMV for inspection. The Hot Rod passed with flying colors and Gary immediately hit the road!

Congratulations Gary! Glad you’ve enjoyed your build and driving your Hot Rod.
