Factory Five customer Henry R. Heads Out for Overseas Air Force Reserve Deployment #5!

Henry Renaud has built a bunch of Factory Fives. He’s built a GTM and a Mk3 that were featured in magazines and he’s currently building an 818 that we’re sure will be a stunner!

Henry’s been a central figure in the FFR community for more than 10 years! Henry has helped us at car shows and special events. He’s also helped countless people build their own Factory Fives!


Henry’s ’33 Hot Rod was featured at the 2011 SEMA Show in Factory Five’s booth.

What a lot of people don’t know about Henry is that he serves our country in the Armed Forces. Henry stopped by the factory yesterday to say goodbye on his way out to his 5th deployment overseas! We can’t say where he’s going, but he’s a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, and he’s not going anywhere friendly.

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s.
