My name is Brian Pautsch, and I build amazing cars in my free time. Several years ago, I built Ultima RS #141. Every time I went to a car show, people would say "Are you a mechanic?" or "How the hell did you figure out how to do this?" or "I'd love to build a car, but no way I can do it.". It's actually not that hard, especially with the right kit and support from the factory. No, I'm not a mechanic, I'm a software developer. Yes, you can do it.

The goal of this website is to show you how easy it is to build a Factory Five Roadster. I'm going to walk you through the entire process, from ordering and delivery, to building and registration. I will be recording detailed step-by-step videos that clarify every step of the build and remove all concerns and hesitation. Beyond this website, there are other amazing resources such as the FFR Build Manual, FFR Forums, and several Facebook Groups.

I've always loved cars. Here are some of my previous cars:

And here are some ideas for future builds:
