Default ---LG Motorsports Gen5 Camaro World Challenge Race Build---

Hey guys,

LG Motorsports is about to begin on a 2012/2013 SCCA World Challenge Camaro build.

This is a full build layout of a Pro Level World Challenge Camaro race car. While some of the more 'trick' items will not be shown in detail we are going to give you a very in-depth look behind 'locked doors' of how a Camaro goes from the street to the track.



"Body in White" ready for pickup




On the trailer ready to come home




At the shop ready to be transported to the chassis plate




Going on the Chassis Plate with doors and hood removed




Stripping the Uni-body



Main roll hoop being fitted

Doing something a little different with the wheels this year. As the car will wear the traditional flame paint job we are going to be using a yellow front wheel and black rear for a bit more added color to the car.

Again, great wheels and finish by ForgeLine!
