How To Use This Book; What You Get - Factory Five Racing GTM Supercar Assembly Manual

How to use This Book

This Assembly manual is intended to help you build your Factory Five Kit. This book will not explain
such things as engine or transmission building. A secondary purpose of this book is to use it as
reference for owners that want to do maintenance work on their cars or for those that purchase finished
cars, to understand their cars better.
This manual was written with the average weekend mechanic in mind. It is best to follow the manual
step by step but if there is a part missing from the kit move to the next section and come back to it late
when the part is available. If the instructions are followed then the resulting car should be a great
handling sports car.

What You Get

The Factory Five GTM kit is engineered to be built as a chassis kit by a car guy at home with regular
tools. The GTM kit gives you everything you need to build your car, except for select running gear
parts taken from a 1997-2004 Chevrolet C5 Corvette. We include everything from the frame, body,
complete interior, and all trim down to the smallest details like correct fasteners, brackets, and badges.
We make it easy for you to use the engine of your choice with a list of available exhaust and
motor/trans mount choices (no charge). For a complete packing list, see the Appendix.
