This morning pick-up turned into a mini Open House event as Ron’s customers, John T. and Phil, took advantage of the beautiful weather to stop by and give Ron some props (they drive Ron Everitt-built cars).

Another Factory Five customer Paul M. stopped by with his newly built red and gold Mk3 Roadster. Paul’s car is powered by a 4.6L 2003 Mustang engine.

It was a mini Open House at Factory Five this morning.

Factory Five President Dave Smith was on hand to say hello to everybody and give a test drive to customer Marc Lomartire.

Canadian customers Terry and Cole Veinotte from Ontario, Canada were here at the same time to pick-up their Mk4 Roadster. Terry’s son Cole is in charge of building the car and Terry is the financial backer (cool father-son project).

It was a busy morning with tours and pick-ups, and with all of the Everitt-built cars and friends, it was more like the official Ron Everitt-Factory Five Open House!
