Haven’t been to an open house since 2015. Started my mk4 build in January 2016, and I’ve had it done and on the road for a year now. Might have to make it a point to get back up there for 2023!
Thank you Norm for your support! It's stories about customer builds as well as comments like this that make the efforts worth it! Nicole Smith Factory Five Marketing Team
Hi Floyd, while our Open House is usually in the late spring, we have not confirmed a date for the 2023 Open House yet! Nicole Smith Factory Five Marketing Team
It’s been too long since you posted on RUclips. Glad your back. Just an aside we were lucky enough to be chosen for 2022 Barrett-Jackson Road Tour 1/50 out of 1000’s of applications. Craig Jackson will be with us he will bring on of his Classics. He only own $100 Million Dollars worth of cars
@@factoryfive thanks for your reply We are going to have a ball. Next year it will be in New England. This trip we visit a bunch of Shops Dave Kindgit’s is on the list. Next year why not Factory Five?? I can give you the email address of the Gentleman who puts this together?
@@dave5833 That's ok. I am stoked for you but FFR won't do any business with Barrett Jackson going forward since they were a close partner company that hired three of our crew during COVID. Not cool. I have no hard feelings, just I won't work with partner companies that use other partners for Human resources!
@@dave5833 It's really no big deal. Truth is the people we lost forced us to retrain and get new guys who have done even better! I just won't deal with suppliers and partners who play like that. Funny that I was relating my experience to a good friend who runs a major aftermarket company and he said, "you're not the first ones to have that happen". Craig has tons of money and obviously does whatever he wants. I simply run my business differently and would never poach a partner company for talent. The lessons I've learned in life are that sometimes the bad things that happen to you end up being good for other reasons. We have never had a better crew so I spose I should send the guy a fruit basket to say thanks! Ha. Dave
Hey Factory Five! think you guys can make a GT90 and Ford Indigo kits using a 2005 Ford GT donor or just build the kit from scratch using a Terminator, 5.0 or Voodoo motor for the GT90 and a any SN95 or New edge convertible Mustang for the Indigo. I think this will bring in a lot of new customers and revenue alike!
I am very interested in getting a mk4 kit. It impresses me with how forward thinking this company is. Some evidence of it is the solar panels on the roof.
@@damiansgaragebuilds7663 there's got to be a solution to the g50 trans. The price has gone up ever since they realized it was the only trans for this kit. That's ridiculous that it can only accept that trans
@@johngatsby1473 g50 is the cheapest option out of the other 5 transaxles that will fit… now im curious what a new vette mid engine transaxle costs out the door.
@@damiansgaragebuilds7663 that may be the case but once the current production constraints are resolved and there's plenty of c8s out....the prices should drop....in theory of course. Either way...8 to 9 k for a transmission....that's pretty insane.
Hi, you are welcome to schedule a tour. Please reach out to nicole@factoryfive.com and I can help you schedule a time to come by. Also, I can forward any technical questions you have to our Tech Sales Team. Nicole Smith Factory Five Marketing Team
Well, I was in a nasty accident and tore up my right shoulder. Complete reconstruct and committed to rehab and now it's been 8+ years of lifting 5 days a week, Paleo diet, the works... Sorta addicted to it now. Helps with stress. Dave
We're working on our new pre-runner truck project and plan on being in production with that kit later this year. Stay tuned to our website and social media pages for more updates!
I hope to go to one of these events some day.
Thank you for what you guys do. It's really amazing you can meet that price point.
Thank you and to all of our customers and friends who feel more like family!

Could you guys do an updated Pantera?! Lol My dream… You guys rock! Best wishes!
probably not as the originals are still within reach (barely) with auction sites cresting $100K
great job!!
I'd like to know when your open house is scheduled for 2023

Here’s a question got anything to accept any Honda drivetrains?
Now that the Corvette is mid engine....have you guys redesigned the GTM transmission requirements to accept the Vette tranny?
We've sold out of GTM's for the year and are looking at several options to improve the car or make wider running gear available. Might be a while!
That would be a cool build but an expensive donor car this soon, the Porsche g50 transmission is about 9 grand.
@@damiansgaragebuilds7663 there's got to be a solution to the g50 trans. The price has gone up ever since they realized it was the only trans for this kit. That's ridiculous that it can only accept that trans

Sooooo, what if someone happens to have a Ford 427 FE laying about.... can one be fitted into a Type 65???
Can I visit anytime? The 818 needs an update

@@factoryfive holy shit. I noticed how jacked you were some years ago now. But now your really jacked. Don't get any bigger you got it now . 👍👍
When is your open house in 2023?
Where is this located ?
We are located at 9 Tow Rd, Wareham, MA 02571.
Where is the gtm?
so what's the latest?
We're working on our new pre-runner truck project and plan on being in production with that kit later this year. Stay tuned to our website and social media pages for more updates!
You blame COVID for 5 years?
Just wait until everyone of your hot rods are EV and that will not be by choice
That is a concern as well as actual right to drive when AI and Autonomous driving kicks in! Ugh.
