    SEMA Show 2018 Photos and Updates



    It’s day 2 of The SEMA Show, and all three of Factory Five’s booths have been filled with people trying to check out our latest builds! We’ve had the crew from PowerNation TV and Power Automediacame by the booth as well to interview the team. The live Coupe build is well underway, and first start should be happening in a little bit. Here’s some photos from day 1. Stay tuned for more coverage from SEMA!

    No, Dave said in another post that the body is still under development and won't be finished till 2019.
    Hope to see it at Huntington Beach.

    Day 2 Update

    During day 2 of the SEMA Show, the crew fired up the 5.0L Coyote-powered Type 65 Coupe at the Live Build area with help from NASCAR driver Joey Logano. Our booths continued to attracting big crowds, our cars were featured in numerous videos including several Facebook live videos amongst other productions.


    We have three booths at this year’s SEMA Show. Two outdoors, and one indoors! Our indoor booth has been staying busy as it features two ’35 Hot Rod Trucks and our all-new ’33 Hot Rod.


    Stacy has been talking with customers and helping get them all the info they need.


    Factory Five’s Director of R&D Jim Schenck talks with customers about the Hot Rod Truck and the new ’33 Hot Rod.


    Jim from the Factory Five Build School talks about the Hot Rod chassis with a bunch of customers.

    The Type 65 Coupe live build crew applauds as Joey Logano fires up the 5.0L Coyote-powered Coupe for the first time.


    Factory Five’s Tony Zullo details the Coupe body. It will be getting put on the chassis soon!

    Our indoor booth features the brand-new ’33 Hot Rod rolling chassis. You can read about the new Hot Rod features here.


    Next to it is our new Gen 2 Hot Rod build featuring the options ’32 deluxe nose.



    Our full fendered ’35 Hot Rod Truck (above) is parked next to SMG Motoring’s LS-powered Hot Rod Truck. Customers are really enjoying comparing the two nose options.





    Black Label Speed Shops ’35 Hot Rod Truck has been a huge hit in the outdoor booth!

    I'm liking that new 33HR door girder. Please incorporate a suicide door safety latch along with that new modification.

    The live Coupe build is done, and Dave Smith gave PowerNation TV's Katie Osborne a ride for it in the Ford Out Front Drift Ring this morning. Click here to watch the Facebook Live video shot by forum member Henry Renaud!

    Also, we've shot several videos with the crew from Power Automedia this week, and they've posted the first one where Dave Smith goes over the cars we brought to the show and discusses the Gen 2 Hot Rod.
