Factory Five Racing delivers Kit Cars across the US and internationally. Understanding the shipping process is crucial for a smooth build experience. This guide outlines the options for getting your kit car from our facility to your home.
Kit Car Shipping Options: A Comprehensive Guide
Factory Five kit cars are sold FOB (Freight On Board) Wareham, MA. This means shipping costs are the buyer’s responsibility. Let’s explore the three primary delivery methods.
Stewart Transport: Door-to-Door Delivery for Your Kit Car
Many builders choose Stewart Transport (602-242-1800), a trusted Factory Five partner. Collin Stewart and his team provide specialized kit car transport, delivering directly to your driveway for a flat rate. Their dedicated trucks equipped with electric cranes eliminate the need for crating, simplifying the process. Note: Stewart Transport is an independent company.
Picking Up Your Kit Car at Factory Five
For those who prefer a hands-on approach, Factory Five offers free on-site pickup in Wareham, MA. Kit completion is typically scheduled for Saturdays. We can also arrange weekday pickups (Monday-Friday) following the completion date. Picking up your kit eliminates crating fees. Before your scheduled pickup, confirm the date with our staff and review trailer dimensions to ensure a seamless experience. We’re here to help coordinate your pickup and answer any questions. Inform us of any changes to your pickup plans.
Commercial Freight: Shipping Your Kit Car in a Crate
We can ship your kit car via a commercial freight carrier of your choice (e.g., Yellow, ABF) in a custom-built crate. The crate dimensions are 16′ L x 52″ H x 6’6″ W and weighs 1650 lbs. Constructed with a robust 4″ x 4″ lumber base, ¾” tongue-and-groove plywood floor and top, and reinforced 2″ x 4″ with 3/8″ plywood sides, this crate ensures safe transport. Forklift or pallet jack access is provided at both ends. A crating fee applies, reflecting the quality and durability of the crate.
