What was the inspiration?
Kim has always Loved the Camaro since the 1968 Camaro she saw as a Kis that Her Sister boy friend owned and said to her self I will own one some day. Since then sh married John Wargo Owner of The Custom Shop in Flanagan IL. and John Was also a Big Camaro Fan. John Has owned and Still Owns a few Camaro. so When they got a Chance to purchase one and have it on Display at Sema 2016 They Jumped on it.
How long did it take you to build?
The Car was Purchased Brand New at the Dealer with all the Options Kim Wargo Asked for. it then went to The Custom Shop in Flanagan IL for John Her Husband to Start the Build. Only 200 Miles on the Car and John and the guys at The Custom Shop started tearing it apart. only 4 Weeks Later its was on the Road to Sema 2016 to be in the ProCharger Booth.
How long have you been building?
Kim Wargo has been a Car Girl her entire life at Bill and Stela Barnett her Parents were always going to car show with Bill Kims Dad being a Mechanc and Car Guy always building something in his Garage. so When Kim Met John Wargo it was a Match Made in Heaven for Sure.
