Phil M.’s Ultimate Street Cruiser Truck!

Customer Phil M.’s ’35 Hot Rod Truck built by Ron Everitt in Massachusetts is the ultimate street cruiser Truck. Built with a modern 5.0L Coyote, full fenders, electric steering, A/C, power windows, wood bed, wire wheels, and a custom tan interior.

Phil previously drove a Factory Five Mk2 Roadster for many years, and decided to build a Truck with his friend Ron Everitt. Phil’s Truck is period-correct on the outside with every modern convenience on the inside. This Truck is super streetable with air conditioning, power windows, and power steering… but with a 460 HP Ford Coyote engine this truck will flat-out spank Porsches and Corvettes.

Phil brought his newly-built Truck over to Factory Five to showoff, and we did this cool Facebook Live video. Check out the second half of the video as we started out on our new molding robot.

Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Three Generations Embark on a Type 65 Coupe Dream Build

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor. That curiosity for how things work turned into a lifetime of mechanical enthusiasm, passed down through generations and now culminating in Dave’s Type 65 Coupe build, which is a…
