Bitchin' Rides

Dave has his hands full trying to locate & build a 1959 Buick Invicta.This build pushes the shop to the max & back, and even to a Foundry straight out of medieval times. Double trouble comes in the form of twin 2014 Audis looking for some styling cues.

The Invicta build finally comes to a show-ready end after many challenges, including the most ambitious interior job the shop has ever attempted. Dave gets down and dirty on a 1970 Mustang that comes in to get its driveline unbundled.

The Kindig crew must deal with the mess of a '32 Roadster when it comes in with problem after problem from another shop, while also trying to rescue a '40 Coupe. Wild Bill's 32 Roadster rides again and Dave's dune buggy goes missing.

Don Heidt has been scouring the country for a rare 1952 Pontiac that he wants Dave Kindig to turn into a Bitchin Ride. He's finally found one, but as the guys dig into the car they find something lurking beneath the metal that threatens the whole build.

The 52 Pontiac rumbles to a conclusion as the team struggles to get the trim, paint and upholstery just right. Dave and Kevin pull out all the stops getting this Pontiac in cruising shape for Don. Dave adds custom graphics to a 2014 Challenger.

A 1969 Camaro arrives at Kindig It Design, to be completed, and the owner has a very specific mission for Dave and the crew. The upholstery shop is challenged to repair a worn out convertible top, and body man Brandon brings his bitchin ride into the shop.

A 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 that hasn't seen the road since 1957, gets revived. An original FE engine, modified bumpers and some insights from Kevin make this build one to remember. Plus, a father & son challenge the team to make their engines roar.

The Fairlane build comes to a conclusion, as the car is bodyworked, painted, assembled and upholstered. The old school engine is a favorite of the guys, but getting it fired and working properly has the whole team scratching their heads.

A 69 Camaro has a new owner who wants to finish off the build, with a new front valance, rear spoiler, fresh paint. Dave's graphic skills shine as he puts a new spin on a classic. A 1965 Mustang with mechanical issues gets a Bitchin upgrade.

Dave and the team at Kindig It Design start a new year with a one-of-a-kind build they have never attempted before, a 1964 Ranchero; the car looks to have had a lot of work done, but what's underneath the metal sets the team back.

The Ranchero build is an epic achievement for Dave and the whole Kindig It Design team, but will the client see it the same way? And will Dave find the perfect name for the perfect car?

A Canadian father daughter team arrives to add a new Bitchin Ride to their impressive collection. Building the little sister to the 62 Safari Bus is something close to Dave's VW roots. Fresh off the showroom floor, a 2017 Cadillac CTSV.

Delayed by numerous issues and setbacks, the 1941 Chevy is finished in the metal shop and ready for paint; fresh paint, new wiring and custom interior take this problem build to the next level.

Dave and the Kindig team add a tubbed bed and slivered Camaro bumpers to a classic Chevrolet C/K C-10.

A road warrior from Alaska arrives at the shop to add some improvements to an already solid build. To enhance performance, a new exhaust and tips are custom fabricated as well as a new set of wheels, tires and a custom interior.

A returning client is back with another classic, a 1965 Mustang Fastback. He likes to keep a stock look, but with updated drivetrain, instrumentation and as many modern amenities as possible. Plus, the assembly team gets a crash course in engine tuning.

Dave and the crew start on a 1966 Corvette, but one major challenge lies ahead for Dave the designer -- he is up against a client who is adamant that he doesn't want the

After some intense color development, the client is on board with the shade of green Dave has come up with, and the car moves into the paint booth. The client has only seen the color on a swatch, but will he fall for it when he sees it in person?

Of all the different years and generations of the VW Bug, there is one that stands out among the rest -- the Hebmueller. There are maybe 200 of them left, so in addition to being hard to find, they are truly the holy grail of VWs.

The build continues, and the challenge is to keep what makes the car a Hebmueller intact, while taking bold steps to turn it into a hot rod. Dave keeps the traditional two-tone exterior, but modifying it to an automatic is a huge test for the shop.

Normally when Kindig-It Design attends a car show, their cars are the ones being judged. But this time around, Dave and Kev hold the keys and will have to select the top 10 builders out of the hundreds of cars that arrive for the show.

A 1971 Chevy Nova with tremendous pedigree arrives at the shop to get classic Kindig-It styling cues. Most importantly, Dave wants to make this car into a hardtop. Tucked in bumpers, front valance and a new engine provides a good test for the crew.

Will makes miracles happen, and Dave decides to make a wholesale change to the car's color. Challenges mount at each stage of the build, and the upholstery shop changes up their routine as the client arrives for a reveal years in the making.

While the shop has been perfecting its process in building the CF1s, word about the car has gotten out, and potential buyers are lining up. The latest client has a big problem -- he can't choose the perfect color combination.

Good things come in small packages, and this 1967 Fiat fits the bill.

A loyal Kindig-It client has decided to jump on the latest trend. He wants Dave to build him a show-off, off-road vehicle.

The Bronco's owner is lukewarm on Dave's radical idea for the interior.

The shop is finally ready to take the Outlaw Porsche to its conclusion.
