It is amazing the variations out there with this Factory Five chassis. Well done. I built a first gen. 33 full fender car. It took a bit longer than I anticipated but it turned out well.

I've been on the FFR site and this popped in YT. I too built a 1972 Stepside Chevy and it took me a year. 454HO, ATI trans, blah, blah, blah. It sits in the garage now waiting on me to re-wire the alternator. I think I might sell "Stumpy" and put that towards the 35 Truck. You've inspired me to get motivated. Stumpy is an all steel ride. Zero rust... But getting him there was a challenge. I like the idea of fiberglass, modern chassis and running gear - and no rust!! BTW - How does it handle? Looks like it would handle like a slot car.

Can a flat head V-8 be installed in one of the FF pickups?
@decelation3 жыл бұрын
I believe so. The engine bay is designed to accommodate most V8 engines

I’m wondering if I could fit a Cummins in one
@decelation2 жыл бұрын
I imagine a 4bt would fit but a full sized Cummins engine would require a lot of fabrication

love the video ! how long did you wait for the kit from when you purchased it? thank s
@decelation2 жыл бұрын
Thank you. Their wait times are much longer now due to supply chain issues and more people ordering the kit but I waited 3 and a half months

Is the grill shell designed to be laid back as far as you have it? I like the rake that it gives the grill. Just wondering if factory five did it that way or is that a mod you made yourself?

No it is not. That was a beautiful style cue that came out of necessity because we rerouted the coolant system.

Hope you don’t mind if I jump in here. Did you have to reroute the coolant system because of the LS motor.

@@charlesnorsk3055 I am really sorry for the late response. No it was because they want the lower radiator hose to go under a frame cross member and we did not like the radiator hose being that low

How many man-hours did you have in the build? What was the hardest part? What surprised you the most? What would you do differently? Thanks!
@decelation2 жыл бұрын
It is hard to say how many hours because filming adds 30% more time easily. The hardest part is maintaining motivation to consistent work on it. I think the biggest surprise was when it arrived and I had to inventory 30 boxes of parts. Honestly I did a lot of research and tried to overbuild this to make sure it exceeds my expectations so I can't think of something I would do differently.

What did you put between the frame and the sheet metal(Alum?)?
@decelation3 жыл бұрын
It was a thick insulating styrofoam that was provided with the kit. Yes it is aluminum.
