Factory Five Sends Our Thanks to USMC and US Armed Forces!

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Ron Everitt is a good friend of mine and has built numerous Factory Fives from his shop in Shrewsbury, MA. Ron’s son, Ron Jr., is serving in Afghanistan with US Marine Corps Combat Logistics Company Regiment Two, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. Ron Jr’s crew are all car guys and asked if they could get a Factory Five banner to put up. Everyone at Factory Five signed it and we sent it off with our sincere thanks.

The other day we received this e-mail from Ron Jr. showing his Marine Company flying the flag with one of the largest items they work on.

On behalf of everyone at Factory Five, huge thanks to Ron Jr., the US Marine Corps Combat Logistics Company Regiment Two, and all of the men and women serving in the US Armed Forces for protecting our rights to life, liberty, and the high-speed pursuit of happiness!

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
