StangTV.com Talks with the Factory Five Build School at SEMA 2014

“If you don’t know if you have the skills to build a Factory Five, you don’t have to worry about it,” says Dave Smith of Factory Five. “Just go to a three-day build school.”

At the 2014 SEMA Show earlier this month, the crew from Power Automedia visited the Factory Five booth to talk with owner Dave Smith about the huge FFR community of customers and partner companies.  One of Power Automedia’s websites, StangTV.com, wrote an article highlighted two community members: The Factory Five Build School and Sherwin Williams paint.

Jim and Scott from the Build School were at the SEMA Show and discuss that how in three days, you and your classmates will build a car from the chassis up, and by the end of the class, you have a car ready to drive.

The crew from StangTV.com also talked with Sherwin Williams Automotive Finishes about their soon-to-be-released official line of Factory Five paint colors. Check out the video above to hear more about the Build School and upcoming paint colors, and click here to read the full article.
