Music- FREAK THAT, by Fayzed - • Hard Trap, Guitar Chil...
I’ve always wanted to do this. I’ve built many cars from the ground out but never a kit car. Be nice not to worry about rust for a change.
I think the one thing I really realize with this is there’s not a lot of custom work involved in building it comparatively to some other projects we’ve done. And it comes with the vast majority of the parts required to put it together. You just have to put it together, so much less time spending hours upon hours of trying to find parts that might fit the car
@@LowBoostFilms But it is very customizable. From engine, transmission, rear end, lights, interior, dash. I like their stock parts but I'd upgrade the dash and the seats. One guy did vinyl wrap of the dash, it looked great.
Congratulations! I have wanted to build a Factory Five for a long time!!
You should! It’s a great company and the car is amazing!
Type 65 is the right choice! And it will be nice not to deal with rusted bolts!
You got that right! So much easier
This should be fun!
A dream come true
So cool, thanks for videoing the process!
Thanks! Once we are done with the f100 we will have a lot of videos on it!
How far along are you with your build? Are you driving it yet? Oak Hollow Garage is building a Coupe in northern Virginia and another Coupe is being built in SouthEast Virginia. Keep us posted.
Haven’t done much to it yet trying to finish up a few other projects. But this winter I’ll be there a lot
Observation:
@ 1:00 - no padded dunnage?
You sat that unprotected and drove away whistling?
I pad everything.
It rested fine on the wood. Didn’t move a cm
@@LowBoostFilms OMG what a comeback. Kit cars and owners are hilarious.
What is the length of your trailer? I'm picking up a Coupe project in two weeks PLUS, I'm also picking up a Coyote engine/transmission in another box plus all the 35 other boxes of parts. I have a flatbed trailer similar to yours, but mine might be a few feet longer. I won't know till I go measure what I have and compare the length to your trailer.
It’s an 18ft trailer. Depending on the size of the crate, we could have fit one as well as the body. They’d just have to move the body forward where it starts to hang over the dip in the trailer. if yours is even a foot longer that would make it a lot easier.
@@johnd.williams3477 I was worried it wouldn’t fit but it did. We put a few in the back of the extended cab too. And a lot of the boxes have some weight so it would take a lot to blow away. We used some ratchet straps to tie them all down. They also threw a bunch in the coupe too.
favorite line "this car was a bastard from day 1!" - Dave
Haha yea that was great!
looking to order one of these to match my ffr cobra, how is your backlist order of parts?
We were missing 6 boxes, 4 of which have already arrived in the mail and one is getting delivered tomorrow so they’re pretty good right now. They also told me it would be done in May and we picked it up in March!
@@LowBoostFilms thats awesome news! are you guys in NYS? if so will this be a registered street car?
@@andydimartino6733 Saratoga Springs, and yes it will be registered!
Nice!
Thanks!!!
All I can say is, awesomeness and congratulations. Living what people dream about. Your a motivating auto enthusiast, that definitely keeps the car culture alive, especiallyin NY. Keep it up.....Cheers!!!!
Thanks! This is definitely a dream project! You gotta get one one day it’s awesome.
Having your Dad involved would be great. My Dad was a car guy and I helped a bit. I think he would have loved doing this.
This is my dream one day
15 years in the making for me!
was that a LS engine? Please don't put that in your Historic Ford Shelby type 65? that would be a Complete Insult to Carol !!
Considering Carroll wanted Chevy engines to begin with and Chevy said no because they did not want it to compete with the corvette, plus the fact that the original cobras had British six cylinders, and the fact that Pete Brock, the guy that designed the Daytona coupe, has an LS engine in his own personal one today… I think I’m good to put one in mine.
Just finished a Roadster, going to do the 35 truck next and then maybe a type 65.
Awesome! How long did it take you to do the roadster?
@@LowBoostFilms Well I had delays on parts and engine (the longest) but you can do one in 2-4 months if you have everything.
@@brianwillemssen3531 wow! I was thinking 2-3 years hahaha.
@@LowBoostFilms Depends on how much time you have. About 300 hours can get it done.
@@brianwillemssen3531I've heard the manual isn't the best.
I dreamed about doing one of these for many years... but after a couple divorces and getting older I got a c6 vette. As a die hard ford guy you can't argue with LS power. If I was to build one I'd probably do an ls3 (I wonder why, lol). I definitely look forward to following this build! Should be a track monster when you're done!
It’s never too late! Stay tuned you’re gonna love it.
Congrats! I'm jealous that you got to go there to pick up your coupe. Looking forward to your build.
Yeah, I’m lucky that we were only 3 1/2 hours away. It saved a lot on shipping. And the trip was an experience in itself! I have a few videos I’m editing now, but once we are done collecting parts and finished with my dad’s truck, we will put them out rapidfire! Watching your build has been an inspiration!
@@LowBoostFilms Thanks! I appreciate that. I wish I had more time to dedicate to the build, but it will get done. Looking forward to your next videos.
wow so jealous . i cant wait to check this out at a cars and coffee or show sometime once its done . This is my dream car .
I will be bringing everywhere I can once it’s done lol. This is my dream car as well.
Man it is a actual dream of mine to build on of these. I ain’t got the money, but one day I pray I’ll be able too build a dream.
This is 15 years in the making for me
I've looked at the Factory Five Type 65 and Mark II roadster. It looks like a finished build is about 80K. Can you confirm this?
Type 65 is a lot more than the coupe. It all depends on what you want to spend. We are doing it ourselves with budget engines and parts and looking around 45-50k completion cost. But if you want a $25,000 engine and transmission, $5,000 rear end, and pay to have someone build it. It’ll easily be over 100k.
wow those really are bad fibreglass moulds they use, gelcoat panels should come out basically flawless, you have no other option but to paint those.
Yeah, that’s just the process of what they do, it absolutely has to get painted
I'm excited for this dude!
Thanks! It’s a dream build
Looking forward for the next episode
I’m going try to do at least one a month on it until the F100 is done. Then they’ll be coming almost weekly!
@@LowBoostFilms cool
🎉🎉🎉
I’m so excited!
You're going to have a lot of problems. The fit-and-finish on these cars is terrible. The customer support doesn't exist. If you take a picture of something that is obviously wrong and send it to them they are going to say it looks great don't worry about it. I've had first-hand experience with this company and they are the epitome of used car salesman. Sorry it looks like a great project but it's going to be an enormous pain in the butt and it's going to be much more expensive than you thought. I can tell you now because of the poor fitment your paint job will cost you $15,000! Be prepared for problems every single step of the way and don't expect the manual to be clear and most surely don't expect customer support to explain anything thoroughly sorry perhaps you should have read the forms first just about everybody on their says the same thing
Considering every other project I’ve done involved rusted bolts and parts with no manual this is a walk in the park lol. And yes I expect the paint job to be expensive because it’s gonna look great.
Why do you have to complain and be so negative, you wrote an entire essay and there isnt one good thing in there
@@manoel2519that guy weighs 450 pounds, lives on cheetos and mountain dew, has bowel problems.
You run into nut jobs all the time. Just jealous. And fat. Ignore them.
