Thank you Dave. This was such an amazing opportunity and such a powerful part of the healing process for our family. May my dad Scott's legacy live on and make an impact on other families and hope others can build Factory Five kit cars together worldwide and make other dreams a reality.

Scott was an amazing man and wonderful uncle. Thank you Factory Five for letting the world know it and sharing his love of cars with others.

I've seen this before but I decided to watch it again. Dave Smith is certainly aware of his cars having a way of bringing father's and sons together as well as the rest of the family. Although I doubt that Dave Smith will ever know the full extent of what he has accomplished. When a time in this country when families are coming apart more than they ever have. And for guys to be able to build something in their garage with their kids and family brings people together. It's really a remarkable accomplishment and I doubt that Mr Smith set out to do that. Nonetheless is part of what he's accomplished. It's an amazing thing I wish I could I could do that.

David Smith and Factory Five are America. V8"s, tire smoke, passion and giving back.

Never thought I would get a lump in my throat over a drag race.

[jamesbassford]

Simply, thank you for sharing this. Seeing stories like this renews the fire to keep working on our projects

[SidWray]

Very well done! This is exactly the kind of story that we, as a nation, need to focus on right now.

[patbarrett]

WHAT A GREAT STORY. HE WAS ABLE TO FULFILL HIS DAD'S DREAM, , VERY COOL.

Thank you for living your jobs and doing what you do Factory Five, I cannot wait to buy a Hot Rod truck from you guys within the next year or two. My future goal is to build and own one, I’m going back to school to get a better education and career in electrical engineering. I was ASE certified Technician before I was recalled back into the Army and then I was blown up in Afghanistan during Combat. I’m a retired Purple Heart Combat Veteran and I look forward to owning and driving one of your kits in the near future! I want to put a Bluepoint 428 with a TK Manual Trans in my future build. The sound the 428 makes, can’t wait!

God Bless y’all @ Factory Five! Looking forward to attending your weekend class as well!

Man this has me in tears as I write, you are all a great bunch of people, I have had the opposite experience and it hit me very hard watching how kind people can be.

That has to be the sweetest, coolest hot rod story ever. That car is a badass.

[stephanM]

What a great story! You could see the genuine affection and appreciation expressed in this story. Many thanks to the Hespeler family and to Dave Smith and everyone at Factory Five for sharing this fantastic experience. It is my goal to one day build a Factory Five car of my dreams too.
