After 2 shops and many stops and starts, a 1955 Nomad is ready to go all the way. Dave and the crew have their biggest task of the year getting the warped metal back into the shape, the body work just right, and the paint to pop.

Nomad? No Way!

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.

New Season, New Headache

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.

It sounds Bitchin'. Let's make it look Bitchin'.

The guys set their sights on Pleasanton, CA where they will be attending a major car show, and the competition is fierce. To get to the show they need to get a Chevelle road ready for its owner, that is if the whole staff doesn't get arrested.

The One Where Nick Gets Arrested

16 years in the making, Kindig It Design is finally finishing the 67 Nova. Looks can be deceiving however, as this car looks pretty stock on the outside, but underneath the hood is a unique power station. Will it be powerful enough for the client?

The Supernova

Kevin and Dave gear up for the biggest car show in America--back to the 50's, where once a year over 10,000 cars descend on St. Paul, MN. The 1929 roadster, is given away to one lucky contestant as Dave runs a sweepstakes to raise money for charity.

I Blew Your Inheritance on a Bitchin' Ride

With approval from “THE BOSS,” the continental build continues. A custom blue color, massive V12 engine, and the green light from a living legend officially make this car a Bitchin Ride. Dave wants a new car hauler and enlists RMD garage to help.

A Lincoln Legend

A Family Affair

The shop pulls out all the stops to take home the gold at the last car show of the season; the Fairlane and the Nomad receive extra attention; Dave and Kevin check out the best vehicles in Reno.

It's Getting Hot In Here

The metal masters take on a 1967 Chevelle with Great 8 pedigree and high expectations; Dave learns the hard way that builds do not always go according to plan.

If It Was Easy, Anyone Could Do It

Final details on the 1967 Pontiac GTO include tanzanite blue paint, redline wheels and a custom interior; a Chevelle arrives for a small but poignant upgrade.

GT...Ohhh Hell Yeah!

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.

We Build Bitchin Rides

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?

24 Karat Magic

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.

The Little Sister

An old build is back for new customizations, an interior revamp and a new name. With Kevin headed out of town, Dave tries to sneak a new and personal project through the doors.

A Caldera-What?

One of Dave's all-time favorite designs is the Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, and a new client arrives with a kit version of the car. But it has many flaws, which the team need to address while trying to get the car as close as they can to original.

Fiberglass, Fiberglass and More Fiberglass

Every inch of the Mercedes Gullwing has finally been addressed and the car comes to an epic conclusion. But questions and challenges remain, which color will be just right? Will the doors actually function?

Green for the Money

A '41 Chevy that has bounced around numerous shops rolls in for a quick trunk lid fix, but things go south very quickly; as if the shop wasn't busy enough, they kick off a Road Tour and the garage turns into an ER for broken down cars.

The Snowball Episode

A new client arrives and asks Dave to envision a future where the Hummer H2 continued to be produced and to build what he thinks that car might look like 20 years into the future. Its out with the old and in with the new, as Kevin leads the charge.

The Hummer of the Future

Car show season is always a big time of year for the Bitchin Rides crew, but a show in Stockton, CA has called with an interesting request. Along with bringing some Bitchin Rides to the show, would Dave be a judge and present a special award for the show?

Dave Kindig, Guest Judge

Dave and the team swap the chassis in a 1955 Nomad and upgrade its performance, which will give this car the edge it was missing.

Where's the Gold, Paulie?

A Corvette enthusiast brings his 1963 Corvette for upgrades; the car has had some work done, but he wants a huge LS X engine and a larger transmission; he also wants to ditch the side pipes and develop a one-of-a-kind, stand-out paint color.

Veruca Violet

A 41 Chevy that has bounced around numerous shops rolls in for a quick trunk lid fix, but things very quickly go south on the team. A previous chop needs to be fixed, underneath the car everything needs to be re-plumbed and doors need aligned.

Little Red Corvette

4 years ago, Vinnie Massaro, brought his Charger to Kindig It Design looking for some minor improvements, and what he got absolutely blew him away. Now he's back to build the biggest baddest, Mopar on the planet.

The Last Mopar

The 1967 Coronet build continues as the metal work comes to an end and the car moves into the paint booth. Vinnie wanted to go all out on this build and Dave has done some of his most innovative design work to date.

The Bitchin Coronet

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.

Finish What You Start

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

The Last Frontier Cuda

Prior to the annual classic car show in Los Angeles, the guys need to shake down a 1962 Corvette and make some design adjustments to a '55 Mercedes Gullwing. Kevin hunts for new ideas, rare finds and maybe some Hollywood stars.

Car Show to the Stars

A simple yet classy Pontiac Tempest arrives for a ground-up build. From the outside, it looks like the team can get right to the customizing, but after the car is completely stripped, things are more complicated.

Cut, Replace, Repeat

The Pontiac Tempest build continues as bodywork wraps up and Dave has designed a killer new color. Kevin shows off his powder-coating skills, and the client has a tough decision to make on the color combo for the interior.

Temptress

The Do-It-Yourself NOVA

Dave and Kevin take the '67 Coronet, '55 Gullwing and '63 Corvette to a car show in Chicago, where they'll compete for street rod of the year. The cars need to complete a road course and be judged on the appointments of the build.

Dave's New Toy

Dave has a challenge on his hands restoring a 1964 Cadillac to its original condition while adding modern updates. Parts are scarce and the car's current state leaves a lot to restore.

Back Again

A beauty of a car from Kindig's past arrives back in the shop for an engine upgrade. Dave and Kevin make a trip to Detroit to see the latest technology at Lingenfelter engine builders, and check out the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Updating a Classic

A client wants his '48 GMC to be Dave's baddest build ever, but when he throws Dave a curveball, it threatens the entire project. Celebrating 20 years in business, Kindig-It hosts a custom car show featuring a slew of past builds.

Stop and Go

Dave has finally secured a buyer for the '48 GMC truck. He's a truck nut who wants to finish the build properly, with a color change, custom trim and new interior design. Hopefully, the guys can pick up right where they left off.

Finally!

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.

Easy Does It

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

Let The Chef Cook

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?

Let's Make Green Great Again

After recovering from a terrible accident where his '32 Ford caught fire, a local business owner wants to see the car fixed as well. Diagnosing the fire damage and what caused it is job #1. Plus, a 1967 Mustang arrives with a nasty engine vibration.

Fireproof

A simple repaint of a 1964 Corvette careens into much more when Dave upsells the client on a couple of design features, and the crew finds some damage underneath the original paint. Also, the owner of an iconic Ford GTX1 tasks Dave with solving a dilemma.

Just A Couple of Here's And There's

Brandon Curtis is an active duty serviceman who is due to depart for overseas duty, but before leaving he and his father have a little unfinished business. They've been thru the ringer over the years trying to get their 1951 Ford pickup built. Now they're getting it done right at Kindig-It. The cab is getting stretched, the entire front end is getting re-designed and Kindig's patented custom hourglass bed complete the build sheet. While Brandon heads out to serve his country, the shop needs to live up to its duty to turn this truck into a Bitchin' Ride.

Thank You For Your Service

The 1951 Ford pickup is painted and ready for final assembly. The team encounters problem after problem trying to get it ready for a serviceman who is returning from a year away in a war zone.

Unfinished Business

From an early age, Dave Kindig would cut up hot wheels, mixing and matching parts to create his own cars. 20-plus years later, he has decided that the time is right to design his own concept car from scratch.

Once In A Lifetime

All the Concept Corvette's elements are built and assembled, but to call the experiment a success, Dave needs to find a buyer. Also, a rock 'n' roll icon brings his 1934 Ford coupe to the shop to complete a project 25 years in the making.

It's Alive!!

Dave designs a Mustang for the ages to compete in the Optima Challenge, which involves running the car on track as well as in a traditional car show. The build includes a new front facia and hood, tucking in the bumpers and redesigning the rear end.

Fastback Fever

The 1965 Mustang makes its way thru the metal shop and is now ready for paint and final assembly. However, this is one of the more intricate cars the shop has ever built, and making it function will test even the Kindig crew.

Challenge Complete

An abandoned '67 C10 build that has been sitting in the back of the shop for years has been sold to a client. He wants a few new touches, and everything is looking aces until a closer inspection reveals more work under the surface that needs to be done.

Back From The Dead

With the C10's body issues solved, Dave convinces the client to make the truck into a convertible. Fabricator Will Lockwood will have to figure out how. Plus, Kevin takes on a new personal project, slamming a Cadillac Escalade on a new chassis design.

That's Never Been Done

So far, the engineering behind the convertible C10 works in theory, but making it work in practice is the next step. A father-daughter team bring in a replica 1967 Cobra that is having engine trouble, but Kindig's new dyno is ready to save the day.

The Convertible C10

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.

'Mueller? 'Mueller?

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.

The Holy Grail, But Customized

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.

Meet Judge KevDogg

Dave's clients have owned a car since they got married 25 years ago and want it restored so they can enjoy it for another 25. While the shop isn't really into straight restorations, adding some custom pieces and paint makes them "say yes" to the project.

Restorations? We're Talking 'Bout Restorations?

Once again, Dave is thrilled with the latest build, while KevDogg is barely lukewarm. Dave has done double-cab VWs, Bugs, and Karmann Ghias, but now he is taking on something completely different -- and even more rare.

It's a Barn Door Deluxe, Of Course

Matching the two-tone paint job is the challenge of the day as the '53 Barn Door Deluxe build carries on. Custom trim, a new, more powerful engine, 22 windows and a custom interior all come together to make this surprise worth the wait.

The Big Brother

Dave and the guys at Kindig-It proved they could execute Dave's vision of his production Corvette, but now that a few have sold, they have to get them completely finished. The buyers vying for car #1 are a true Corvette aficionado and his best friend.

Who Gets Number One?

In a special 100th episode, Dave and the team put the finishing touches on the first-ever Kindig CF Corvettes to complete a lifelong dream. However, the clients argue about who will get the first one, all in advance of a once-in-a-lifetime debut at SEMA.

Introducing the Kindig CF1

Dave Kindig, owner and operator of Kindig-It Design, turns out unique vehicles for his demanding (and sometimes famous) clientele. From rendering and design to building and restoring, viewers see vehicles being made from the ground up before being revealed to the car's owner.
