Just ran across your request.

The Factory Five project is on wheels and is mechanically 'done'. Body will be going on in a couple of weeks so I can get some drive time this summer. Paint in the fall/winter.

Here are some images from the engine install a few weeks ago and the go-kart test session last week:

(will have dual rollbars - the driver's just wasn't fit for the pictures).

Last series of pics is epic!

 

Thanks Pete.

All credit to Alex Bellus.. he's a great photog.

 

Just went through the whole 9 pages. The amount of awesome in this thread is just unbelievable.

 

Thanks, appreciate it.

Here is a cool 360 video of the shop (downstairs) from last year taken by Panache Magazine.

tell me about it i'm only finding out about this thread now!

 

I introduced myself at the last Cars & Coffee.






The cobra is excellent.





Polar opposite of the Cobra I think.





Just outside the garage you can see the crowd that was amassed.

 

UNBELIEVABLE place! Seriously I am in awe. I totally love it man!

 

WOW. Just started reading this post, that place is fantastic and what a build project.

 

Hey Charlie,

Good to meet you and thanks for posting up your pics! They look awesome. Love the one of the Rubicon, but it reminds me that I need to beadblast/re-paint some of the front suspension pieces.. LOL

You are dead on, the Rubicon and Cobra are opposites, but you can't help but have fun with a nearly 50 degree approach angle and a 4:1 low gear

That R8 V10 Spyder is a friend of mine's who's also building a Factory Five Roadster. His build is crazy, ie stacked fuel injection, etc..

Later

Thanks, appreciate that.
