It's going to be a fun winter in the DBski shop!

Fulfilling a life-long dream I'm starting the build on my Hot Rod! It's a Factory Five '33 Ford kit. It is actually more like assembling a car as the Factory Five kit is very well thought out. I give major props to guys that start out with a pile of metal and a welder and end up with a car! The neat thing with the '33 ford kit is that it allows you to easily impart your own design as there is so many different ways to build it. I'm going with a 302 small block Ford as I've owned numerous 302's over the years and I've always thought it's one of the best looking engines ever. Plus a Ford body should have a FORD engine!!!

I have been thinking about the Mark IV from factory five for years!

Hope to see many pictures! A kit car is in my radar one day but who knows....

Nice. A friend of mine built one of their cobra kits last year. He stuck a coyote in his.

@Jaypro What finally got me off my butt to start the build is that I attended the Factory Five build school. In three days you start with the bare frame and end up with a running car. There are short cuts to get the car done that fast but it showed that with common tools and a little diligence it's not that hard. Plus the school is only about an hour from my house so if anyone attends during the ski season I'd be happy to give you a pull after class!

Factory five builds great stuff! Me being a car guy I love the custom stuff especially. I just sold my 1967 Mustang Restomod I spent 4 years building not to long ago. Have fun, can’t wait to see the finished product.

I built a roadster in 2002, it was lots of fun.

Right now a four eyed foxbody racer, but your 33 makes me think that could be the next project.

Let the wood dust battle begin!

@dbski , may have to take you up on that! I would definitely want to do the build class. I was thinking of doing it with my sons

[dbski]

@Jaypro You'd have a lot of fun with your sons. The class is as hands on as you want it to be. There were some real characters in my class, especially a couple of crazy Canadians!
