1957 Chevy Cameo by Jesse James

With an affinity for off-road racing and the challenge of building a showstopping SEMA vehicle, Jesse James decided to build a Baja race truck with modern features, but retro style. After several in-depth discussions about LINE-X and what it does for race vehicles, he decided to build the 1957 Chevy Cameo, a vehicle conceived and built by Jesse and his team to not only show his passion for building race-winning off-road vehicles, but also create a platform to highlight LINE-X coatings. Featuring parts by several industry-leading partners, the 1957 Chevy Cameo has been designed for the most demanding Baja racing:
