Michael A. and his wife, Jennifer, drove up from Texas today to pick up their Factory Five Type 65 Coupe kit—what an amazing way to kick off the new year! Their trip took a brief detour in Tennessee when their truck’s supercharger needed a part, but they lucked out and found exactly what they needed at a nearby O’Reilly’s.

The coupe will be a fantastic addition to Michael’s collection, which already includes a vintage Ford ’34 Hot Rod Truck. He plans to take the coupe to COTA and paint it blue. He’s still deciding between a TKX or T56 transmission, but he’s looking forward to making those decisions as he begins his build.

The next step? Completing their new garage, which will be the perfect space for the project. We can’t wait to see how it all comes together and wish them safe travels back to Texas!
