Photos of Hack Shack’s New ’33 Build

Factory Five customer and Pro-Builder Gary Hagar from Hack Shack Inc, in Arkansas sent us these nice pictures of the 33 that he painted for another customer, Don M. The car is FFR Hot Rod #257. The car was built as a street car with the optional soft top and smaller bike fenders.

The interior isnt finished in these photos as Don (the owner) is having a killer custom interior done. Nice job Gary! Keep up the good work.
