I figured it was time to give folks an update on where we are with our exciting new ’35 Hot Rod Truck. Our company continues to improve new product launches, and the rollout of the new truck shows this. If you recall, we pulled the wraps off of our alpha version prototype at SEMA 2017 after building the car with Mike and Pat from PowerNation TV’s “Engine Power”. After SEMA, we set our goals to begin production in the first quarter of 2018. Since then, we have made some significant engineering changes to the car. The biggest changes were the addition of a full cage on the inside of the truck cab, we’ve increased footbox space, and added a drop-down cut-away to make getting in and out easier. We’ve designed full fenders and structural running boards to compliment the new hood and side covers.
Factory Five’s production shop truck is being built right now in the R&D shop incorporating the last four months of engineering changes.
Our production truck will have full fenders and running boards with hood and side covers.
