Progress Update: A Three Generation Coupe Build

On July 8th, Kent, his son Bodhi, and Kent’s brother picked up their Factory Five Type 65 Coupe kit and brought it home to Barrie, Ontario. Since then, Kent, Bodhi, and Kent’s dad have been turning it into a true three-generation build. They even named themselves Ravelle’s Speed Shop, complete with custom mechanic shirts to prove it.

After just 10 days of work (on and off since July), the engine is already in! The family team dropped in their Gen 1 Coyote, paired with an MT82 6-speed. Kent shared, “It’s been an awesome experience working with my dad and son. Thanks to everyone at Factory Five, this has been so much fun and worth the 27-year wait!”

Over the five years he owned it, Jason made plenty of memories, including attending Run & Gun at St. Louis International Speedway in 1998 or 1999.
