    Thanks for putting my 1/2 done 33 in the video Erik! I appreciate it.

    Factory Five’s video pro Greg Hoy is producing a cool 8-12 minute video documenting the 2012 Huntington Beach Cruise-In. We figured it would be fun to post little sections of his video as he finishes them. Here’s the section that shows the Car Warriors ’33 Hot Rod unveiling that happened at 10:30 AM on the morning of the cruise-in. More chapters to come soon.



    Factory Five Mike (289_FIA) sent us this image of the Factory Five truck heading back east after Huntington Beach. Thanks for the cool shot Mike!

    As most of you already know, the Moment of Thunder is a tradition at the Huntington Beach Cruise-In to pay tribute to those we have lost in the Factory Five community. Here’s the video from this year’s Moment of Thunder.

    Speaking of Jeff, here's a quick video of Jeff discussing everyone signing his Roadster at the show.

    I've been wondering about that. Is there a story?

    We've posted another HB video - Factory Five customer Don Vaught brought his Factory Five Type 65 Coupe to the show and won Best in Show Type 65 Coupe Runner-up. Here's an interview with Don.

    I think next year we should have a "best in show not John Cameron" award! Hey John, have you built a trophy case for the Grabber Orange Roadster yet?

    Factory Five customer Erik Hansen came to the 2012 Factory Five Racing Huntington Beach Cruise-In with his '33 Hot Rod and was awarded Best in Show - Hot Rod. We caught up with him to discuss his build and see some of the custom mods he made.

    Great Job Erik! You should be a talk show host! Maybe your first guests could be "Jack da Bat" and Dr. Ruth.

    I,m thinking of adding on to my shop! I promise not to enter the orange car in next years show. I'll surprise you all with something else. By the way David, your car looks VERY NICE! I'm sure you must be happy and proud of the way it turned out. See you soon.

    Sounds like more of a Jerry Springer episode to me. Bodyguards and all.

    Brian Smith and his dad built a Mk4 Roadster while documenting it for a book Brian is publishing. Brian talks about his car, building it with his dad, and let us know the book will be available this July. Click here for more on Brian’s book.

    My wife and baby son just happened to be walking around HB that morning and meandered through the show. I gotta say that it was the coolest thing to be walking through there when everyone was firing up their engines! Thanks for being there that morning and letting my wife see how awesome the roadsters are, she immediately said, "if you're going to get a new hobby or project or whatever, DO THIS!"
