Bitchin' Rides

hobbies du jure

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) Also see: Dave Kindig and Bitchin’ Rides Are Taking Over the Hot Rod World (v Chip Foose)
