Ron Cambra has always had a love for anything on wheels. He’s built everything from motorcycles to hot rods to mini trucks and everything in between. He’d been customizing cars in and out of his home garage for years and recently opened up the Cambra Speed Shop in Orange, California. His current project that he is bringing to the SEMA Show is a completely custom ’55 classic car build.
