Not sure if anyone can help me with this or not but figured I would give it a shot. There is a group of people that are doing a charity roadster build next weekend in conjunction with the St Jude PGA tournament in Memphis. I am planning my build and would to love just get an up close look at the car and build since I haven't seen a build up close yet and I live in Memphis. I have reached out to the factory without much successs. Does anyone know anyone doing it who could help me out? If not I guess I will just go over there and see if I can flag someone down.
Thanks.

Hi!
This will be the second build of a MkIV donated by Factory 5 (first was in 2015) by a group of FedEx pilots during the FedEx/St. Jude Classic at PGA Southwind in Memphis. We'll get started on the "official" build on Wednesday, 7 June, and we'll have the have the completed car on display of the 18th green on Sunday, 11 June. We did a "prebuild" of the car the first week of May. The 2015 car was eventually auctioned of by Mecum in April 2016, with the proceeds going back o St. Jude's Chiddrens' Research Hospital. The plan for the 2017 car is it will be on display at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis shortly after the build, the sold by St. Jude via an online auction at the end of the month.
You're welcome to come by during he tournament and see the project, maybe donate to St. Jude's too!
