BILDTRAK Teams Up with Factory Five Racing to Enhance DIY Car Builders' Experience

Collaboration Announcement: BILDTRAK and Factory Five Racing

At the recent SEMA Show, BILDTRAK Inc. made a significant announcement that is set to transform the way enthusiasts build their custom cars. The company has entered into a multi-year partnership with Factory Five Racing, recognized as the world’s leading manufacturer of component car kits. This collaboration aims to help builders effectively assemble their dream vehicles by incorporating BILDTRAK’s innovative G1 mapping system into each Factory Five complete vehicle kit starting in 2027.

The Significance of the BILDTRAK G1

The BILDTRAK G1 is designed for those who relish the challenge of building their own cars from the ground up. With this new agreement, every Factory Five kit will be accompanied by the G1, which not only provides the necessary parts but also aids builders in tracking how these components fit together. Scott Shaffstall, Co-Founder and CEO of BILDTRAK Inc., stated, "For those who choose to build over buying, the G1 will keep them on track through the weeks and months of wrenching until their first drive."

This partnership is more than just a marketing collaboration; it symbolizes a shared vision among both companies. Factory Five Racing has a longstanding ethos of empowering individuals to create their vehicles, encapsulated in their motto, "Built, Not Bought®." Since its inception in 1995, the company has been dedicated to providing the resources and support necessary for builders to succeed in their automotive projects.

How the G1 Enhances the Building Process

Assembling a complete vehicle requires meticulous attention to detail. With hundreds of fasteners that must be placed with precision, the BILDTRAK G1 acts as a visual mapping system, allowing builders to document where each bolt, nut, and washer originated. In the case of repairs or modifications, builders can reference the detailed map provided by the G1, streamlining the processes for assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.

Dave Smith, President of Factory Five Racing, emphasized the importance of organization in the building process, noting, "Our customers don't buy a Factory Five as a complete car. They build it as a labor of love. Including a BILDTRAK G1 means every builder starts organized and gets on the road or track sooner."

The BILDTRAK G1 in Action

The G1 is not just a passive tool; it is an interactive system designed to adapt to the dynamics of building. It comes with a robust, impact-resistant shell and self-healing layout panels, allowing builders to freely draw bolt patterns on the writable surfaces, press fasteners into place, and jot down crucial notes. Whether working flat on a bench, upright while on the move, or wall-mounted, the G1 facilitates the building process.

Furthermore, this innovative tool will be available for presale on the BILDTRAK website until November 30, 2026, with shipping starting in early 2027, marking an exciting new era for DIY automotive enthusiasts.

Conclusion

This partnership between BILDTRAK and Factory Five Racing highlights a commitment to enhancing the custom car-building experience. By equipping builders with the G1, these companies are taking an important step to ensure that crafting a vehicle remains accessible, organized, and enjoyable. The combination of superior parts and intelligent mapping technology promises to usher in a new level of satisfaction for builders eager to hit the road in their self-made cars.
