Monday at Factory Five: A Busy and Exciting Day!

Posted on November 25, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

We had a busy Monday here at Factory Five, with several exciting visits from our customers!

Hugo R. and his son, who previously built a GTM with us, flew in from Puerto Rico to discuss their plans for a new XTF Truck build for his son, who will be of driving age in the coming years. We’re excited to see what is coming for them!

Dan, all the way from the UK, delivered the sleek black XTF back home to Factory Five after more successful testing in Nevada. It was great to hear about their experience and how well the truck performed -we can’t wait to share more!

Also, we had the pleasure of welcoming Gene G. from North Carolina, who arrived early in the morning to pick up his Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod. Gene grew up in New England, so he felt right at home here! It’s always a highlight when our customers take delivery of their dream cars and we have the fortune of meeting them in person.

A big thank you to all of our customers for visiting, and we look forward to seeing these projects come to life.
