You might be familiar with the Factory Five Mk3 Roaster as a street car, but did you know that there is also a spec racer version and an entire racing series based on the vehicles? It's called the Factory Five Challenge Series and it has three different regional series that features a whole heard of Mk3's roaring around the track as proof that these cars really handle. Now, Factory Five has taken the lessons learned on the track and applied them to an all-new vehicle called the'33 Hot Rod. If you know anything about pre-war cars, you know that they weren't designed for high-speed corners or the slalom. That has changed with the '33 that claims to handle like the Mk3, weigh only 2,500 pounds, and look cool too. We've found the first '33 to be delivered to the West Coast in our own back yard and plan to give you all the details about how to build this car including answering your questions as the build progresses.
The car is being assembled by LK Motorsports in Hermosa Beach, CA and the deadline is the SEMA show in Vegas during the week of November 3-7, 2008. Visit CC.com often for updates.
