Power is Back at Factory Five!

Power has been restored here at Factory Five Racing and work continues on the Cape and coastal areas affected by the storm. We are going to spend the next few days catching up after two days closed.

Big thanks to all of you for your patience. Especially to customer James D. who arrived to pick up his kit and found an empty cold building yesterday! Nate came in to load him up without power, and found James in the back parking lot cooking brats on a weber grill and waiting for us to get in! Nate was able to load him up and get him back on the road to Wisconsin despite the power failure! The best people in the world build our cars.

Jim and Cecily T. Graduate Their Mk4 Roadster!
