Factory Five Customers Are Calendar Heroes

Posted on December 5, 2012 by in What's New

If you build a Factory Five, odds are pretty good someone is going to want you in their calendar. New for 2013, the RM Automotive Finishes calendar features Tom and Gina Tsilionis’ beautiful deep cherry red full fendered ’33 Hot Rod for January and Jim Alexander’s stunning blue Factory Five Roadster in March.

Customer Jim Clark snagged the February 2012 spot in the Snap-On Tools calendar with his red Factory Five Mk3 Roadster.

Factory Five Hot Rod builder Gary Hagar earned a ton of press with his beautiful vintage ’33 Hot Rod that was featured in the 2011 DuPont Hot Hues calendar for the month of June. Gary’s car was later profiled on Horsepower TV and earned several show wins.

Factory Five GTM builder Gary Cheney earned his spot in the BASF Annual Paint Profiles book with his red, white, and blue Koni-sponsored GTM.

Pro builder SKJ Customs built this Factory Five Mk4 Roadster for the President of Summit Racing and was featured on their promotional hero card.
