Customers take center stage this month as we have tons of cool news and amazing customer accomplishments to share!
The heart and soul of Factory Five has always been our cars, but encompasses so much more. The cars we build end up building amazing stories that become as important as the cars themselves! Don’t believe me? Build a Factory Five or ask someone who already has!
Factory Five’s West Coast painter Jeff “Da Bat” Miller has hatched his fair share of Factory Five stories! HB 2016.
This month has brought a treasure trove of stories and accomplishments. It also brought along some amazing cars. Here are a few.
