Big Surprises Planned for 14th Annual Open House

We've updated our showroom for Open House and added glass doors, flooring, and some very cool new displays.

This year's Open House will have a mix of old traditions and new surprises. The format will be similar to previous years with car show awards, food, plant tours, huge scratch and dent sale, and music. This year, we will be pulling the wraps off the next Factory Five car, the 818. We will also be revealing the winners of the 818 Design Contest.

Factory Five President Dave Smith will discuss not only the 818, but other new projects the company has working on. This year, we will be joined by a great group of Factory Five suppliers and vendors and the parts sale will be the largest we've ever held.

We look forward to seeing you this coming Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm, rain or shine (hopefully shine).

Our friends at Wilwood will not be here but, we will be displaying all the new Wilwood parts that are beginning to ship. Factory Five's tech group is easily bribed with free shirts and garage banners.

New Shoes, new haircut, new showroom, and a cool new sign (spelled correctly!)...hmm...Open House must be right around the corner.

Can't wait to see everything!! I've enjoyed every open house I've been to (maybe 5 in the last 10 years) and am REALLY looking forward to trailering up my unfinished MKII this year, first time I've done that.

The sneak peeks at the showroom look absolutely stunning.

You couldn't have chosen a better photo of the 818 chassis - I can't tell what the heck is going on there! I guess I'll just have to make my way out to the Open House this weekend to see for myself. Very exciting!

[Dave Smith]

I did that on purpose! The event should be fun. Looking forward to sharing some laughs with friends.
