Semper Fi Devil Dog!
I am going on my second Factory 5. The first one I bought from a private owner out of California. Loved it so much and realized that I had to build one myself so I sold it and bought the Spec Racer. I have had to put the build on hold due to moving and selling our home ect. And I can tell you #1 the withdraws suck of not have a running Fakey Do Cobra, #2 Building it so far is as fun as driving them.
While I have had good luck with my Factory 5’s it doesn’t mean it is the car for everybody. Check around at the other manufacturers within your budget. Most are good and have something unique to offer.
Actually my first one was sold to a guy in Bryan, TX. He has changed some things and added his own personal flavor and the car looks great.
