There are combinations that just work well together. Eggs and bacon, Jake and Elwood Blues, Ren and Stimpy, C3P0 and R2D2. What would a Martinsville hot dog be without chili? Simply stated… there are some combinations that are too historic to mess with. We can now add to the aforementioned famous duos, the modern day classic duo of Dakota Digital and Interior design work from Kam Motor Trimming.
We don’t mean to imply that this tandem is a dynamic duo on the order of Batman and Robin – not at all – Robin doesn’t exist without Batman. When it comes to Dakota Digital and Kam Motor Trimming, each can stand alone to defeat the boring interior design evil-doers in the custom car world, yet… together they are truly brilliant. Case in point: The KAMARO
About Rides by Kam
Kam Motor Trimming (AKA: Rides by Kam), has been producing phenomenal show car designs for over 20-years as a family owned business that specifically targets hot rods and musclecars. The group specializes in building cars from the ground up meaning that anything is capable. The SEMA tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada, would not be complete without a custom car build from the Australian build team.
Despite the company’s solid background in breaking away from the cookie cutter builds typical of many musclecars, Rides by Kam has become renowned for their interior designs with much of that popularity due to the products used in the design. Commonly used as a centerpiece of the interior design work is a set of Dakota Digital gauges and other accessories.
The Kamaro
Besides the obvious changes, like the shaved handles, mirrors, hammered stance, big wheels, oh and the 8-71 huffer poking out of the hood, the Kamaro also sports a custom dash created by laying fiberglass over a form carved out of florist foam. For instrumentation, Dakota Digital Solarix gauges were used, including a 3 3/8-inch speedometer and tachometer in the dash, with four matching 2 1/16-inch gauges placed in the console. As you can guess from looking at the car, the Kamaro has an air ride suspension to get it so low.
Located in the center of the dash is a Dakota Digital DHC-2101 ride height controller allowing the driver full control over the Kamaro’s altitude and handling. This unit allows the driver to keep an eye on the pressure in each bag as well as the tank. What’s more, three different heights are programmed so the car can be raised to enter a driveway, dropped to ride height, and then slammed at a show, all with the touch of a button.
We can hardly wait to see what Dakota Digital and Rides by Kam have in store for this year’s SEMA tradeshow.
