I found a site that lets you create custom skins for laptops, and I just started a new job so I thought i’d give it a go with some AI work and a photo of my car. I’m pleased to say the ending result was astounding! the site I purchased from is https://skinit.com and the…
Believe it or not, I’ve put about 1,300 miles on the car and realized that I hadn’t put the door cards on! They were tucked away on a shelf in the garage, so I pulled them out and gave the leather a good treatment. These match the FFR seats, transmission tunnel and radio box upholstery….
I’m gearing up for my BAR visit next week and have been digging into my website. After reviewing it, I realized it’s time to add more content. I share a ton of updates on TheFactoryFiveForum.com, but my site needs more detailed posts too—especially about my custom builds. Customizing My Tremec TKX Shifter Lately, people have…
If you’ve looked up close on a Factory Five cobra – there is quite a gap between the body, frame, and sheet metal behind the seats. It’s almost crazy to think of that much space that water, rocks, etc can get through to the cockpit. Whitby Motorcars makes a filler plate kit for this, you…
I was fortunate enough to get a set of Drummer Mike’s Heat Shields for the Gas’N sidepipes. I like the look and having some extra space between your leg and that hot exhaust can save you from the infamous ‘snake-bite’ e.g. burn your leg. Of course, I modified on top of the basic install with…
Upgrading Your Ride: Installing Side Pipes and Headers for the Coyote Engine Once the body was painted, Ken’s team quickly got to work mounting the exhaust side pipes. I chose the Gas’N Touring side pipes, and honestly—they’re absolutely stunning! When paired with the robust 4-into-1 headers built for the Coyote engine, this setup truly shines….
Originally, I didn’t plan on having a backup camera. I found some examples on the forums. I figured the touchscreen Alpine deck has provisions to add a front/rear camera. So, I thought, why not? I initially bought a license plate frame with a camera attached. But, I realized that the camera’s placement blocked the license…
Installing a stereo with speakers and subwoofer into a Factory Five Cobra is one of those things that many owners scuffle over. Can you hear it? Is it worth it? Why do it? It’s not original… etc. I couldn’t build my roadster without one, why? I’m just used to having one, plus I wanted a…
When you first setup your car, there’s a basic alignment that needs to happen. Obviously you don’t want to chew up your new tires, so the basic alignment is usually good enough to get you rolling and testing during go-kart phase. Obviously, you can buy a kit and do it yourself – but for a…
It’s been great to get to the point to add those finishing touches! Now that the car looks like “a car” I can do other stuff like add essentials, but also design adders. The rear view mirror and side mirrors are a must have, at least a driver side mirror. I opted for the Breeze…
