Michael B. Fulfills a Dream & Gary C. Kicks Off Factory Five Build #21!

This week, we had some incredible visits that we just had to highlight!

Michael B. and his dad traveled from New York to pick up a lifelong dream—a Factory Five Type 65 Coupe. With Factory Five President Dave Smith and Operations team member Matt Crocker there to mark the occasion, we captured the moment as Michael’s build was packed up and ready to hit the road. We can’t wait to see his vision take shape, especially with his dad by his side for the journey!

We also had the honor of welcoming back a true Factory Five legend—Gary Cheney. With 20 Factory Five builds under his belt, including the iconic Roadster #100, Gary isn’t slowing down anytime soon. For him, building isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life. His next project? A Factory Five ‘35 Hot Rod Truck, decked out with a Gen 4 Coyote, 4R70W transmission, custom Forgiato wheels, and Wilwood brakes. Pictured here with Dave and Jim, Gary continues to raise the bar for Factory Five craftsmanship.

Seeing these builds come to life never gets old, and we’re honored to be part of the journey!
