Factory Fives Make Waves on the Other Side of The Pond

It’s cool to see Factory Fives getting press on the other side of the Atlantic! A few years ago, we debuted a beautiful race rod built by Peter Skogland and his sons from Sweden. Their car debuted at the 2012 SEMA Show.  Since then, there have been a slew of really great builds in Europe.  Here are a few that have been highlighted in some German performance magazines.  Note: The articles are in German.

The October 2014 issue of “Chrome & Flame” Magazine (at least that’s we believe “Chrom & Flamen” mean) profiles a Factory Five ’33 built in Switzerland, and the German “Street Magazine” profiles a how-to tech article on a Factory Five ’33 with the help from the boys at Hammink Performance.

Check out the full articles below.

The car features a Ford 4.6L “Terminator” engine, Tremec 6 speed, Dual system exhaust by Ferrita Sweden, and adjustable sway bars by Sellholms Sweden.  The video below profiles customer cars at SEMA, and Peter’s car is featured at 3:38.

More and more of our business is international and we’re excited to support customers overseas with their Factory Five builds!
