Last April’s “Car Warriors” show on the Speed Channel featured two Factory Five teams of customers who each built Factory Five ’33 Hot Rods in 48 hours. The West Coast team built this beautiful Salt Flats racer.

The car is powered by a small block Ford with a single 4-barrel carburetor. The suspension is Factory Five 3-link rear suspension and standard in-board Koni coil-overs up front. Full custom interior and chopped windshield matches the air brush rivet “fighter plane” paint scheme by famous West Coast Jeff “Da Bat” Miller of Miller Customs.

The West Coast guys made these cool custom side exit exhausts, although these might have a problem passing a street car inspection!

Interior work was impressive with only two days to finish it.

This car will be featured along with the East Coast car at the 2012 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
