Ringbrothers received a number of top awards at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada – for a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro known as \u201cVALKYRJA\u201d and for a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 known as \u201cUNKL.\u201d In addition to claiming honors from OEMs Ford and Chevrolet and recognition from Good Guys, Mother\u2019s Car Care and DUB Magazine, one of Ringbrothers’ custom vehicle builds won SEMA\u2019s Battle of the Builders competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year, the SEMA Show represents an opportunity for us to outdo ourselves by creating and showcasing cars that are bigger, better and faster than years past,\u201d said Mike Ring, co-owner of Ringbrothers. \u201cThis year, our builds were unlike anything we had attempted before, both in design and execution. Our success at the 2019 show proves that we have achieved what we continually set out to do \u2013 push the boundaries of the art of custom car building, and we\u2019re honored by the overwhelming response.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its warlike name, the 890 horsepower 1969 Chevrolet Camaro \u201cVALKYRJA\u201d was built with help from the latest technology, including 3D scanning and CAD design, and was assembled using modern materials such as carbon fiber as well as a combination of 3D printed and CNC machined parts. It is powered by an 890 horsepower, 416-cubic inch Wegner Motorsports LS3 topped with a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger. Underneath, the chassis and suspension by Detroit Speed Engineering gives the car modern handling while a custom Flowmaster exhaust helps the supercharged engine breathe. This formidable machine took home the Battle of the Builders victory.<\/p>\n
