2. - What makes their car a "kit" instead of a new car, since they build the chassis and everything but the engine. Where do they get the VIN?

1 - I believe that Factory Five puts a good deal of money into that show, hence why they seem to show up in every commercial and there is a focus on Factory Five kits
2 - It receives a "special construction" VIN, typically one that is assigned by the state. The method varies from state to state, but scratch-built vehicles that don't go through the rigor of DOT testing receive these VINs.
