After 11 years and 17-18 kits I have decided to retire from building kits for customers. I may build 1 more for a former 33 customer, but that will be the last if I can't talk him out of it. I have enjoyed all the builds and help, kind words, etc from all on the forum. I bought a 2024 Grech Strada Ion Tour and will be traveling the US seeing family and the sights from now on. I may do some VW restoration work when I am not traveling. The fiberglass dust and such has not done me much good the last few years. It is time to call it quits. Thanks to everyone. Tom Wallace. :cool:

Tom! On behalf of everyone at Factory Five I want to send out ALL of our deepest thanks for the innumerable people you've helped in the FFR community! What a track record you are leaving and what a huge part of the community you have been! Your hard work, craftsmanship, honesty and good nature will be remembered along with the great cars you built and the great friendships you've forged. I have personally enjoyed our brief conversations and will always regard you as a friend. If you find yourself in New England, Denise and I are happy to put you up any time! Have fun on the road ahead and thanks for a GREAT run! Dave Smith

Wow! Can't believe I'm reading that Tom. I've enjoyed your community posts and your contribution will certainly live on in the many build threads you've done. Hopefully you'll pop in from time to time and check in on us! Enjoy your "retirement" :)
