Power TV Visits the Factory Five Booth at SEMA 2012

At the 2012 SEMA Show, the crew from Power TV stopped by the Factory Five booth to film a few short video interviews with the Factory Five team. Here is the first of three videos that are being put together. In it, host Jessica Barton interviews Factory Five President Dave Smith and Director of R&D Jim Schenck about the process of designing a kit at Factory Five.

In this interview, FFR President Dave Smith discusses the MuscleCar TV ’33 Hot Rod painted by JoAnn Bortles of crazyhorsepainting.com and the Summit Racing Mk4 Roadster built by Rick Sheley and the crew at SKJ Customs.

Here’s an awesome video from this year’s SEMA Show interviewing customer Bob Bailin, Karen Salvaggio, and Peter Skoglund about their Factory Five builds. Very cool!
