Snap-On Gen 3 Coupe Build Airs July 20!

Posted on July 10, 2017 by in What's New

Last March, we built an all-new Gen 3 Coupe with the crew from Snap-On Tools here at Factory Five. The build was for a TV show highlighting our new Coupe and Ford’s awesome new 5.2L Aluminator 52XS 580 HP crate engine based on the Voodoo engine, but with a conventional cross plane crank. The 4-part series debuts on July 20th on Snap-On’s YouTube channel show “From the Ground Up.”


The Factory Five crew teamed up with the Snap-On Tools crew for this epic build.


The completed car traveled down to Charlotte Motor Speedway where NASCAR drive Joey Logano put it through its paces for the show.


The show will conclude with the test driving of the car. The morning of practice was wet , but you wouldn’t know it based on the blistering pace set by Logano right off the bat.

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
