Barry and Brent attended the 2010 Open House where they were able to see over a 100 customer-built Roadsters, tour the factory, meet with Dave Smith, and even got passed by a Factory Five Roadster on the way home in the rain.  After that day, the father-son team never looked back and started their build in November 2010.  Brent’s younger brother Kyle assisted with putting the Roadster together as well, and it even helped him complete some of his school projects at Drexel University.

The Musselman’s Mk4 Roadster features the FFR electric gauges, 3-link rear suspension, stainless sign exhaust, performance 11.65″ rear brakes, 17″ 5-lug Bullitt wheels, and stainless steel bumper kit.  Brent mentions that the Factory Five community was always there to help answer questions whenever they hit a bump in the build, and that the Factory Five tech crew was also a huge help.

The Musselman’s registration came at the perfect time as they have it ready for the peak driving season in Pennsylvania.  Maybe they’ll be up for a drive back to Wareham, MA for the upcoming Factory Five Open House this year…hint, hint…

Congratulations Barry, Brent, and Kyle on a great family build!
