THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS

The custom car builder’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro “VALKYRJA” and 1969 Mustang Mach 1 “UNKL” swept the top awards at the annual automotive trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, including the “Ford Heritage Award For Outstanding achievement in Design,” “Chevrolet SEMA Design Award Car Of The Year,” the “Good Guys Gold Award” and more. The Wisconsin-based siblings capped off the week by winning the coveted “Battle of the Builders” competition, solidifying their position as the premier builder of the show.

Las Vegas, Nev. (November 8, 2019) —Ringbrothers was recognized with several top awards at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada for its newest custom vehicle builds – a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro known as “VALKYRJA” and a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 known as “UNKL.” The Spring Green, Wisconsin-based premium billet parts manufacturer and world-class car designer took home top honors from OEMs Ford and Chevrolet as well as recognition from Good Guys, Mother’s Car Care and DUB Magazine and was chosen as the top custom vehicle at the show in SEMA’s Battle of the Builders competition.

Accolades from the 2019 SEMA Show include “Ford Heritage Award For Outstanding achievement in Design,” “Chevrolet SEMA Design Award Car Of The Year,” “DUB Magazine Award: Best Performance Car,” “Good Guys Gold Award, “Mother’s Choice Award For Excellence in Automotive Design” and the “DUB Best Performance Car 2019” award.

“Each 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,” said Mike Ring, co-owner of Ringbrothers. “This 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 – push the boundaries of the art of custom car building, and we’re honored by the overwhelming response.”

Bearing the name of an Old Norse warrior, the 890 horsepower 1969 Chevrolet Camaro “VALKYRJA” was built using 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 its modern handling while a custom Flowmaster exhaust helps the supercharged engine breathe.  

“UNKL,” on the other hand, pays tribute to the uncle of Ringbrothers owners Mike and Jim Ring who influenced their passion for cars. The race-inspired 1969 Ford Mustang’s 520-cubic inch Jon Kaase Boss engine puts out 700 horsepower through a Bowler six-speed Tremec transmission and a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft. Custom BASF paint called Big Boss Blue has been laid over a body that was widened by an inch on each side, which gives the pony car a more aggressive stance than stock without compromising the classic look. The car’s body is a mixture of carbon-fiber and steel panels reshaped by Ringbrothers. Other custom details include billet taillights, reshaped bumpers and trim and engine-bay accessories that were custom machined at the Ringbrothers facility.

Ringbrothers, creator of some of the most innovative and beautiful vehicles in the world, debut its latest automotive masterpiece, the “UNKL” Mach 1, in the Flowmaster (Holley) booth at the SEMA Show.

LAS VEGAS (November 5, 2019) — World-famous custom car builder and high-quality billet parts manufacturer Ringbrothers unveiled its newest, one-of-a-kind Ford Mustang, the 1969 Mach 1 known as  “UNKL” in the Flowmaster (Holley) booth at the 2019 SEMA Show. “UNKL” is the first Mach 1 to leave the Spring Green, Wisconsin, shop after a series of memorable Mustang builds. The widened body and unique race-inspired theme make the most of road and race technology in one car.

“UNKL” is powered by a 520-cubic-inch Jon Kaase Boss engine making 700 horsepower. A reworked Bowler six-speed Tremec transmission backs the high-powered engine, and a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft transfers power to the rear wheels. The Mach 1’s growl comes from a custom stainless-steel Flowmaster exhaust. Prestone coolant keeps the engine at an even operating temperature, while Motul engine oil and gear oil keeps things running smoothly. Custom BASF paint called Big Boss Blue has been laid over a smooth body, which was shaped with 3M products. 

Ringbrothers extended the Mach 1’s body by an inch on each side, which gives it a slightly more aggressive stance than stock without compromising the classic look. The car’s body is a mixture of carbon-fiber and steel panels reshaped by Ringbrothers. Other custom details include billet taillights, reshaped bumpers and trim and engine-bay accessories that were custom machined at the Ringbrothers facility.

The name for the build comes from the Ringbrothers owner who enjoyed a close relationship with his uncle. The build pays tribute to his uncle’s influence on his passion for cars. The race-inspired livery continues that theme and will also serve a practical purpose when the car is used on track. 

“UNKL” uses Detroit Speed Engineering’s Aluma-Frame front suspension system with a cast aluminum cradle, custom-tuned steering rack, tubular suspension arms, and custom adjustable RideTech coilovers. The rear is equipped with Detroit Speed’s QUADRALink suspension system and RideTech shocks. Front and rear sway bars are also from Detroit Speed. Stopping power is provided by Baer with huge 6S Extreme calipers. “UNKL” rides on bespoke set of forged HRE Wheels wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires sized 295/35R-19 in the front and 345/30R-20 in the rear.

The custom interior of UNKL by Upholstery Unlimited feels as race-inspired as the exterior with supportive Recaro seats, Ringbrothers billet components, an Ididit steering column, gauges by Classic Instruments and a cabin kept at a comfortable temperature thanks to a Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum evap kit.For more information on Ringbrothers, the “UNKL” Mustang, and Ringbrothers billet parts, visit www.ringbrothers.com or stay connected with the team on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+.

Using the latest technology and materials to create a first-of-its-kind Camaro, world-famous Ringbrothers call this its most ambitious project to date

LAS VEGAS (November 5, 2019) — Ringbrothers unveiled its latest build, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro known as “VALKYRJA,” at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The 890-horsepower muscle car was developed using the latest technology, including 3D scanning, CAD design and more. The car was assembled with modern materials such carbon fiber, while custom parts were created using a combination of 3D printing and CNC machining.

A 416-cubic inch Wegner Motorsports LS3 topped with a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger rests under the hood of “VALKYRJA.” The transmission is a Bowler six-speed Tremec that has been reworked to support the extreme horsepower. The chassis and suspension are by Detroit Speed Engineering, and a John’s Industries 9-inch rear end helps put power to the ground.  

“We try and top ourselves every year, and this build was no different,” said Mike Ring, co-owner of Ringbrothers. “This build was unlike anything we had attempted before, both in design and execution. The result is a car with a classic look but entirely modern underpinnings, materials and technology. It’s the perfect mix of style and performance.”

Ringbrothers sponsors provided the best products in the industry for this no-expense-spared build. A Flowmaster Stainless Steel Super 44 Series exhaust adds a growl to the engine note, while Prestone coolant keeps the engine at temperature even under hard-driving conditions. The paint is a custom BASF mix called TOTOPKG Green and is sprayed over a body prepped using 3M products. Motul engine and gear oils keep the engine and transmission operating flawlessly under all conditions. 

The name “VALKYRJA” is derived from the Old Norse spelling of Valkyrie, which refers to mythological female figures who select which soldiers live and which die in battle. The soldiers chosen by the Valkyrie were said to have been taken to Valhalla in the afterlife. The name was chosen by the car’s Belgian owner who will take delivery after the SEMA Show.

Many of the parts featured on this custom build are available for sale on the Ringbrothers website. Universal door handles, window cranks and the shift knob are available immediately. Other parts are still under development.
