Roland B. Brings His ’33 Hot Rod to Factory Five!

Posted on March 21, 2025 by in What's New

Roland and Stacy B. from Milford, NH, stopped by Factory Five this afternoon with their stunning ‘33 Hot Rod. Roland built this 1960s-style hot rod in May 2020, featuring a small block Chevy, 700R4 transmission, leather bench seat, deluxe nose, and satin black paint.

Packed with personality, his build includes classic pin-striping, a Rat Fink hood ornament, and a tiki bobblehead on the dash. Roland poured his heart into the project, building nearly everything himself. His wife, Stacy, has been a huge supporter and even has plans for him to build her a Factory Five ’35 Hot Rod Truck next!

Roland’s Hot Rod has made its mark at events like the Target Cruise Night in Nashua, Bass Pro at Gillette, and the “Rats Nest Run-In” drag race in New York. It even rolled through his local parade last summer!

Tomorrow is Roland’s birthday, and we want to wish him a fantastic day filled with more miles of smiles! Great seeing you, Roland—enjoy the ride, and we’ll see you at Open House in June!
