You may remember customer Ryan M. from the recent post we did profiling his stunning Gulf color Factory Five Type 65 Coupe! From Ryan himself:

“Whoa! Major moment for me and Loretta. Got Best In Show at a pretty big car show put on and judged by one of the most respected customs shops in Texas: House of Hot Rods! I was not expecting that at all! Such a huge honor and beat some of the nicest cars I’ve seen. 250 cars total and Loretta took the top prize.

Edit: gotta give Rad Rods of Texas a big shout out for helping me bring this car across the finish line. As an added bonus, they hag another happy Rad Rods of Texas customer get a Top 10 trophy. They know their stuff!”

Congratulations Ryan on your incredible Type 65 Coupe and all of your success. You and your family built an amazing car!
