CaSSaNova is a highly-modified 1967 Chevrolet Nova built by The Custom Shop. We last saw this build at SEMA 360 online 2020 Battle of the Builders competition. This world-renowned event is specifically designed to give recognition and honor SEMA builders and their talents. This program highlights the attention to detail and skills required to be considered a SEMA quality builder. Enthusiasts get a sneak peek of what it takes to build a custom SEMA vehicle.

Behind the Scenes – The Custom Shop

For the past 29 years, John and Kim Wargo have owned The Custom Shop based in Flanagan, Illinois. John is the creative genius. He always had the vision of opening his own shop and build custom cars for a living. And he did just that, he converted an old vehicle dealership in The Custom Shop in 1988. The Custom Shop crew are known for designing, creating and building high-end custom cars, trucks and motorcycles. These prestigious builds have been displayed on front of 17 covers and featured in 161 magazines.

The Heart of any Air Suspension System

Our next generation compressor (Gen. 2) is manufactured with the core belief that VIAIR is the heart of any air suspension system and is the compressor you can count on.

Since an air compressor is a fundamental part of any air suspension setup, skimping on tried and true quality is the last thing you’d want to do. If your heart fails, the rest of your body cannot function. The same idea applies to your air suspension system: buy a good quality heart, get a good running system.

VIAIR’s NEW 485C Gen. 2 compressor is durable, dependable and one quality heart you can count on. The sleek new head design with 100% duty cycle @200 PSI is the perfect solution to upgrade your trunk setup!
