Factory Five's New '33 Hot Rod

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

We told you about Factory Five’s new ’33 Hot Rod back in February, and last week Factory Five released full details and a ton of pics on their website. For $20k you get the complete kit, which includes everything except the engine, tranny, rear end, wheels, tires, fuel pump, battery and paint. Don’t let the old school looks fool you–this car was built with performance in mind. Factory Five claims that "we’ve used our 12+ years of race car design/engineering to build a modern hot rod that will out-accelerate, out-handle, and out-brake established sports cars like Corvettes, Porsches, and Ferraris." The ’33 Hot Rod is set up to accept a variety of small block Ford engines, but I doubt it will be long before you see SBC or Hemi power in these things.

$20k for the full kit? not bad at all. The fender comment does make sense as well. A scoop as well would be an added improvement.

I’d like to see a scoop added to the hood to put a twist on the style.

I like it. The only thing I would add is fenders. I have always thought that these look much better with them.
