Huge congratulations are in order to Factory Five customer Greg Clouse and Chris Miranda from West Coast Auto Craft in Cloverdale, CA. Greg’s car is featured in this month’s fantastic issue of Street Rodder Magazine (March 2016) on newsstands now.

Chris took a different angle on a Factory Five ’33 build by having a hand-formed aluminum body made by Chris and his crew. The car has a “Steam Punk” design with a nod towards steam-powered roadsters of the early 20th century.

The bomber style bucket seats and all-aluminum interior matches the AMAZING single large gauge in a fabricated dash. The fit and finish of the car is superior, and it looks like it drove out of the pages of an H.G. Wells novel.

Brian Brennan and his team at Street Rodder Magazine produce one of the nicest books in the business. If you haven’t picked up a Street Rodder lately, this month’s issue is a great way to catch up.

Beautiful car.

Steel or Aluminum body would knock the 33 up a notch or two. Possibly get it out of the "kit car" stigma

Actually, if you go to this link, http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=11398, there's the full build story. Chris actually used the FFR fiberglass body, but made all aluminum panels and interior for it. Impressive nonetheless.
