Our year long celebration of our 30th Anniversary ends with 30 days of specials! The crew has come up w ith some really fun ideas to celebrate the last 30 days of our first 30 years. Each day, you will have an opportunity to unwrap a new surprise: a special part, a discount, a stocking stuffer, or some killer deals on highly coveted parts and options. We will post each daily special here on our website on this page as well as on social media.

So since it is our 30th Anniversary, we have decided to take the 12 days of Christmas and stretch them into the 30 days of Christmas! Specials begin December 2nd and end on December 31st.

Day 29 of 30: Forged Rear Lower Control Arms for $199!

These forged aluminum rear control arms are a great upgrade from our previous generation tubular steel units. These control arms are used in Factory Five solid axle rear suspensions.

They are super strong and lightweight forged aluminum construction with polyurethane bushings preinstalled and grease fittings on each end. The arms include all hardware necessary for installation.

Normaly $299, you can score a set for $199!

The build plans for their Mk4 are to install a 331 stroker, TKX transmission, 8.8″ solid axle with 3-link rear suspension, stainless steel side pipes, chrome roll bar, and 17″ Halibrand wheels. They are still trying to decide on paint with some blue and silver options being discussed.

They have to make their mind up fairly soon though as the goal is to graduate their Mk4 in time for Carly and Hunter’s wedding in September! We’re excited to see another family build get started, and look forward to seeing their photos from their big day. Congratulations!

Carl’s Gen 3 Coupe has a Blueprint 306 Ford engine with a Quick Time bell housing and a Tremec TKO 600 transmission. He installed a Mustang 8.8″ solid axle rear end with the 3-link rear suspension.

Carl made sure all of the scoops are functional to help provide air into the cabin as well as to the brakes (front and rear)! The heater valve has been relocated, and all of the aluminum panels have been painted with gold VHT engine paint. He also installed Dynamat, and the Gen 3 side window frames were modified to look even more period-correct!

The side pipes were cera-coated, and Carl made a valence pan for under the gas tank as well as a belly pan up to the foot wells in front. The holes in the rear spoiler are also functional. The Coupe features 15″ Halibrrand wheels, power steering, low back race seats, and front sway bar.

“I feel lucky that I was able do everything except windshield install myself,” said Carl. “Unfortunately, now that it’s winter with salt on the roads, driving it will have to wait!”

We’re excited to hear all about your driving stories (although we’re sure you did plenty of go-karting during your build), and hope you bring the Coupe by Factory Five soon so the crew can see all of your work in person!

Above: Kie starts his Mk4 Roadster for the first time.

“It’s been a total dream to own one even as early as high school in the 1970’s,” wrote Kie. “And to be honest life just seemed to get in the way, family first then dreams. Well enough of that. When I saw one of your brochures in the early 90’s, my dream was renewed. It just took 30 years to get here. Remember: never give up on dreams, they really do come true.”

 “I’m a retired heavy equipment operator. Big boy toys that I’ve loved running and fixing them. But always really wanted to build cars. In the 80s, I restored two trucks: a ’47 Ford and a ’77 Ford high boy that really got me excited about this project even if it is 35 plus years later.”

 “On October 11, 2024, my dream was delivered. I was over the moon with excitement, and I sure found out how many gearheads lived in my neck of the woods when the delivery truck showed up. I planned on pacing my self over a 4 year time frame to really build the car I wanted, not over the top but show worthy while also very drivable and can show lots of muscle when needed. Well, retired people are busy with all the grandkids, and what better way to bond than to build a car?! My grandsons have helped me do most of the riveting, and all they wanted was pizza and root beer afterwards.  My granddaughters can’t wait to put carpet in and put their touches on it. Everyone wants something to do, and it is getting done much faster than expected.”

Above: Will rivet for pizza!

“My wife finds all my parts I ask her for. I tell her what I need, she finds the highest quality at the best price. I guess that’s what accountants do… manage money and I’m OK with that.”

“We’ve installed a 408 stroker that has lots of torque, 500 peak horsepower at around 6,000 RPM. Some basic comforts we’re installing are heated seats, phone charger, pleather console, and door pockets. My wife says we don’t need a fancy interior, just all business.”

Above: Kie go-karts his Mk4 Roadster for the first time around his neighborhood.

 “I’m painting the Mk4 myself along with the expert help of my neighbor. He’s painted many classics that all look beautiful and have been in many of our local shows. The color will be brandywine red with light gray stripes ghosted in.”

“I can honestly say this has been one of the most difficult, but also one of the most rewarding educational things I have ever taken on. So many things I didn’t know yet, and so many are willing to help. It’s true built, not bought! Building this has made me realize it’s not about the car. It’s about the journey, friendships, and just all-around pride of accomplishment.”

“Thanks to my younger brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, granddaughter, grandson, my neighbors, and of course my lovely wife. I’m still over the moon that I’m building one!”

Congratulations on your first start and go-kart, Kie! We’re so happy to hear how much fun you are having building your Mk4 Roadster. We look forward to seeing more progress updates, and ultimately, your graduation post.

The post Kie H. Hits Two Big Milestones During his Mk4 Build! appeared first on Factory Five Racing.

Earlier this year, they started their Hot Rod build! Anthony is a pilot and Evelyn is a nurse, so with their schedules, they get about 6 days off in a row together. That is when they work on their Hot Rod build. “It’s a good way we both unplug from work and enjoy time together,” said Anthony. “We are both big Formula 1 fans, and we sometime watch the races while sitting in the car in the garage.”

Their Hot Rod build features a Gen 3 Coyote with TKX 5-speed transmission, solid axle rear end, and 4-link rear suspension. They’ve reached the big milestone of test driving their Hot Rod with Anthony recently sharing photos of Evelyn taking the ’33 for some test rips around the neighborhood. They’ve also started the body work process and are finishing up installing hood hinges and door latches.

Thanks for sharing your build! We look forward to more updates on your Hot Rod adventures.

Congratulations to customer Bill from Woodway, TX on completing his Mk4 Roadster build, FFR #10717! Bill took delivery of his Mk4 in June 2023 with his first start and go-kart following in November of that year. The car was titled and registered in July 2024, and the paint and finishing touches we completed in August 2025.

“I have enjoyed the entire process,” write Bill on The Factory Five Forum. “It was a vision I had some 20 years ago. I can’t say how much I enjoyed building this. People sometimes ask me what would I do different. The answer is nothing. I had done so much prior planning and research that I knew exactly what I wanted. If the opportunity comes for me to do another one I will. This community of friends is such a benefit of building a Factory Five.”

Bill built his Mk4 Roadster with a 564 HP 427 SBF with Holley Sniper, TKX transmission, IRS, Wilwood brakes, 18″ Halibrand wheels, leather seats, carbon fiber dash, wind wings, sun visors, wipers, and truck gas strut kit. The paint was done by Jeff Kleiner using Painthouse TX’s “Blurple” with “Crystal Laurite Silver” stripes. He has already driven his Roadster for about 3,000 miles with many more miles to come.

When we are done, we will be able to deliver to our customers faster order fulfillment, improved order accuracy, more secure packaging, and increased space that will allow us to carry more parts as well as a wider variety of new and hard-to-find parts. This effort is being done concurrently with the launch of our new online parts catalog targeted for the end of the year.

Unfortunately, the effort to improve means we may need longer-than-usual to ship current orders and backorders. If you are waiting on a part, we really appreciate your patience as we are doing our absolute best through the upgrade.
