Bitchin' Rides has edged out Wheeler Dealers as my favorite
gear-head show. Dave Kindig owns Kindig-It Design,
a car customizer in Salt Lake City. I'll use this as an example
of their design prowess. A client brought in a 1959 Buick
Invicta. This is the
last car in the world I'd want in my garage, in any condition.
However, by show's end I not only would love to own it, I'd find a way
to mount it on my living room wall. Kindig-it
does everything in house; their style is "clean lines." They custom
manufacture steel and
aluminum bodies; instruments, door openers, blah-blah-blah. They
can
print parts on their 3-D printer, they have a giant plasma
cutter, paint and upholstery departments that are magnificent—AND—they can
put an entire car on a "rotisserie" and rotate for access.
The staff
are expert. The downside is that I'm about to run out of new
episodes. (Velocity)

Here's my project being done for me at Industrial Chassis Inc. out in Phoenix. It consists of a 1953 Studebaker coupe being merged with a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V (6.0l and 400bhp of V8 goodness backed by a Tremic T56Magnum 6-speed).
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen a 60 year old car with so little structural rust?

ReplyDeleteTheir motto should be: "Keeping Ugly On The Road Since 1972"
ReplyDeleteLeno's original front drive Toronado body dropped onto a modern Corvette chassis still floats my boat.
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to find good info from your articles.
