Monday at Factory Five!

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

Monday was a busy day at Factory Five with two exciting customer pickups! Chaun C. and his family made the trip from Ontario, Canada, to pick up their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster kit. After restoring a Ford Galaxy 500, they were ready to dive into their dream build with us.

Jerry J. and his son traveled from Fenton, Michigan, to pick up their new ’35 Hot Rod Truck kit. Jerry’s journey began with a call to inquire about our kits, which led to a surprise chat with Factory Five President Dave Smith. Impressed, he placed his order that same night.

Both Chaun and Jerry braved rainy drives to collect their kits, only to be greeted with sunshine for their journeys home—a touch of kit-car magic!

We’re excited to follow these builds as they take shape. Each project marks the start of an inspiring chapter, and we’re here to help turn these dreams into reality. Considering a project of your own? Give us a call at 508-291-3443 or email us at customerservice@factoryfive.com.
