ReinCarNation Magazine Details New Gen 3 Coupe

The crew at ReinCarNation did an excellent job covering the all-new Gen 3 Factory Five Type 65 Coupe and R-Type Coupe chassis. Ever since the magazine resurrected the venerable Car Builder Magazine (which was Kit Car Builder by Steve Temple), we have seen a steady stream of high-quality features from the crew at ReinCarNation.

Industry veteran Steve Temple is still contributing tremendously to the effort, and this past month in the April 2017 issue, are two great articles on Factory Five – this Coupe feature and an interesting chassis engineering article.

You can see more photos and read the entire article in ReinCarNation Magazine (available on some newsstands or by subscription). Click here to sign-up for a free subscription to ReinCarNation Magazine.

Factory Five is Closed Today, Monday January 26, 2026.

I made the call to scrub FFR operations for the day. The drive in wasn’t bad, and most roads are clear. 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.
