On July 29th I received my registration and tag from the Pennsylvania Dept of Transportation. 8393 is ready for the road.
Much thanks to the team at Factory Five for their response and patience with my many questions. Happy 20th anniversity to a great company. I want to thank Bruce and Tim and the Engine Factory for building a great engine, Mike Forte for the transmission and rear end and his shops outstanding customer service, Darthmouth Collision for a beautiful paint job. I especially want to thank Mark Dougherty and his son Brenden for their wealth of knowledge and advice all along the project, the safety inspection and allignment and their invaluable assistance in getting my car painted. Great Guys!! I also want to thank Bob McKee for his counsel. He gave me guidance in the early stages of my build that helped me greatly in making the many choices for the components of my build and the problems I encountered along the way. Thank you all!!!

Mark D. Working with you and your son was a pleasure. I have been very fortunate to live close enough to you to be able get your personal assistance. You guys are the FFR masters. After the safety inspection and allignment you guys did on my car, I feel much more confident that it is a safe car for me and my family to enjoy. I highly recommend that anyone building a roadster (or anything on wheels) retain your services. It was well worth the investment. Thank you!
