The Boys are Back in Town!

After a month on the road, the Factory Five big rig and many of our latest and greatest cars are back home. We unloaded yesterday, and kicked-off the day today with a tour from a local school. The Hot Rod Pick-Up Truck is a big hit, and we’re close to production on that exciting new car. If you’re in the area, come on by for a visit. Even though its February, we have to hope for an early spring!
