The frame is ready to accept any of the following transmissions: T5, TKO, Tremec 3550/3650, AOD, and T56.
How much does the kit cost?
The price is $19,990 for the kit.
Can I purchase a completed Hot Rod?
We only sell the chassis and body kit parts. However, we do know of a network of small hot rod and custom shops that will inevitably build completed race and street cars for customers. E-mail us for a list of such businesses at info@factoryfive.com.
Note: The companies referred to potential customers are separate and independent companies and Factory Five Racing does not warranty their parts nor workmanship.
How long does it take to build the car?
A good approximation minus body and paint work is 300 hours.
