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. John Wargo has been building Show cars at The Custom Shop for almost 30 years now.
Your future plans?
Take the Camaro with the Top down to a Bunch of Car Shows and Cruise ins.
Vehicle history
The Build Starte with Procharger P1X the Newest Procharger on the market. John Has built a lot of Procharged Cars over the years and he Heard they had a NEw Procharger coming out for the new Camaro so one call to his Friends at Procharger and he showed them the Rendering and they Said they would like it in there Booth at Sema. so the Build was ON. New TSW wheel and Continental tires where added for a More Modern look. for a Meaner Look John Added RK Sport Custom Hood and Ground Effects to help add more Stlye to the Car. Then Kim asked John to come up with a Cool design for the paint and John Knowing Kim loves blue the rendering changed to suit her likings. so into the Paint booth it went for John to Perform some Custom art on the Car. Prospray paint was Laid out with John using Badger Airbrushes for the Details with Ghosted bowties and Dropped Shadows it really pops off the White base then with the Sata Spray Gun he added some Pearl and Clear Coat to the Camaro.
