Bill and Larry's Excellent Adventure in Hardback

http://www.factoryfive.com/whatsnew/community/billandlarry/images/excellentadventure.jpg

I received an amazing package in the mail the other day. It was a hard cover book that documented the build of two Factory Five Roadsters done side-by-side by two friends, Bill Grant and Larry Capalbo. When I say, "I love my job!", it is because things like this where the products we make MAKE a difference in people's lives.

I've scanned some pages from the book and posted them here. Huge congrats to Bill and Larry and sincere thanks for including us in your adventure!

What a wonderful way for two good friends to share an unforgettable experience. After doing all of that work, they can now go out and play together with their great new toys. What could be better than that?

There's something very special about the process of creating a book especially when there's a subject that "grabs" you. You guys have immortalized yourselves. And you can say, "I've been published". Pretty cool! WEK.

Outstanding! The cars are beautiful but the friendship supercedes all that can be said about the metal and muscle. It is great to bounce ideas and thoughts off your good friend. I am having a ball building with occaisional help from my son and could only imagine how neat it would be if he was building beside me. Most excellent!

It appears to be one of those self published iBook things Apple offers. I have one from my ride and drive experience of the Ford Racing FR500s Mustang race car. One of the guys here does one every year at the holidays of his boy for his parents too.

You certainly won't find it at Amazon.com, that's for sure...

I have had a lot of great customers, these two guys are in the top 5% of fun guys to work for. Larry even included a pic of my big rott (dog) doing his favorite trick. These guys were all about the journey and the joy that life offers. PARTY ON DUDES!!!
