Meet Scott: a spirited soul defying odds, embracing the unknown. At 70, with a 17-year-old daughter, he embarked on an adventure to fulfill his dream. Retired from a 34-year GE Silicones career, he faced a new challenge: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Amid chemo battles and costly treatments, his dream remained steadfast – building a Factory Five Type 65 Coupe.

Through self-doubt and health struggles, he ordered the Coupe, rallying with the Factory Five community. Juggling treatment and toil, he transformed his Type 65 dream into a tangible reality. A twist of fate fast-tracked his journey, and from bolts to bodywork, he overcame each hurdle. Scott's Factory Five Coupe roared to life, embodying his determination.

From first drives to car show awards and meeting up with President Dave Smith at the Factory Five Cruise-in, Scott's 'Race to the Finish' is an ongoing tale. A testament to chasing dreams amid challenges, his story reflects life's twists and indomitable spirit.

Today, Scott remains on a positive trajectory with his ongoing treatment plan. Tales akin to Scott's exemplify the healing intrinsic to the art of car building.

The finish line isn't an end; it's a new beginning. Scott's coupe, a vessel for both driving and dreaming, stands as a testament to his journey. It reminds us that life's journey isn't solely about reaching destinations; it's about cherishing every step along the way.
