Default LS1/T56 Factory Five 33 Hot Rod Build

Hello everyone! Long time lurker on the forum, finally have started my own build. The car is a Factory Five 33 Hot Rod kit which will be powered by a GM LS1,T56 transmission, and Ford 8.8 three link rear end. Here is a video describing the details of the project and I will be vlogging the entire build of the car. Please subscribe to the Youtube channel to see the build progress. There is also pictures of the build on my Instagram @dizzymarcus. I will also be posting the new videos here. Let me know what you think, thanks!

The Cobra looks great! If this build goes well I would love to build a GTM down the road.

We have had our gtm going on 4 years now lol. Its hard to get them done when you work on cars for a living and then try to get your own finished. It took 6 years to get the cobra done I hate to say.

I know the feeling, I am a heavy equipment mechanic. So when it comes time to work on the project it feels a lot like my day job haha. Wont be 100% but Im hoping to have it on the road by this summer.

My father and I own a small salvage yard and do mechanical work also. You work on everybody else cars and you just hate to work on your own. Sometimes its just hard to get the motivation to do it. Good luck on getting it done this summer. I know from doing the cobra if you get the motivation and make the time it doesn't take long. Maybe by next summer we can get the gtm done lol.

I just ran across this and watched every video and their badass.
I can't wait to see the finish product.
OP, will you ever be able to drive it up in Canada?

Thanks! I just broke up with my girlfriend so should have more time now for the project and making videos, so hit that subscribe button! That's the plan, there are already a few Factory Five cars on the road up here in Canada.
