Factory Five Welcomes CherieLynn Westrich and Kicker Audio

Posted on August 14, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

We are happy to have CherieLynn Westrich here at Factory Five for a few days! Cherie was on “Overhaulin’,” and most recently she was part of a five-woman build team on PowerNation’s “Detroit Muscle” TV show where the team assembled a killer 427-powered Factory Five Mk4 Roadster.

CherieLynn Westrich checks out the new 289 USSRC Roadster with Nate Johnson, Factory Five Operations Director.

Cherie is here to film an install video for the folks at Kicker Audio, as they do a step-by-step sound system install into the Factory Five 818 and the Mk4 Roadster heading to this year’s 2014 SEMA Show.

Cherie has some great motivation to finish up her install work because we are all heading up to the Bass Pro Shops Cruise-In this afternoon.

Cherie will be installing a sound system in the Mk4 Roadster that was built on “Detroit Muscle” and will be on display at the 2014 SEMA Show.
