What was the inspiration?
William had a dream of what is Camaro could be some day so he looked around at a bunch of shops and it first started life at another shop but after a few years of it not getting built and just sitting William ran across John Wargo of The Custom Shop and some of his cars at a show. Liking what he saw of Johns work, he asked John if he could come up with ideas of what he would do to Williams car. After some ideas back and forth they came up with some of Williams ideas and some of Johns to create White Lightening Camaro.
