—An interest in Hot Wheels, Legos and drawing led Dave Kindig to a career as a custom-car maker. From concept design to finished product, Kindig and the specialists at his 27,000-square-foot shop in Salt Lake City exhibit their process of building/restoring vehicles in "Bitchin' Rides." In each episode, Dave meets a client, reviews a car, creates a design, then the team tears down, remakes and reveals to the owner a unique masterpiece. Featured projects include a '33 Ford Tudor, an Audi R8 Spyder, a '69 Camaro, and a '39 GM Parade of Progress Futurliner, a million dollar restoration that took a year to complete.

The shop is finally ready to take the Outlaw Porsche to its conclusion; done in metal, the car starts in body and paint, then is ready for assembly.
The team goes full throttle to finish the 1956 Porsche, with a lot of late nights and long hours leading up to its debut at the SEMA show.
A friend comes to Dave with a unique project -- turning a 1950s VW Bug into a beach cruiser, adding more power, better drivability and new systems.
When Dave and Kev get a call from the government of South Australia to come and host a show based around the Adelaide 500 race, they jump at the chance.
A 1933 Roadster has a great paint job but needs reimagining; the owner of a 1968 Camaro has a load of upgrades he wants to accomplish.
The 1933 Roadster hits a roadblock with the hard top while Dave and his team design custom gauges, wheels and new-take headlights and taillights.
The Ridler car's engine and transmission are married for the last time and installed, and the team moves on to the wiring and other systems. As the car is prepped to fire up for the first time, a dent threatens to stop the whole build in its tracks.
Dave's CF1 client challenges him to come up with a build plan that incorporates all the bells and whistles of a vintage '60s era British race car, complete with custom color, roll cage, racing straps and new gauges.
A big fan of Dave's work on Corvettes wants to build his own collection, so the crew jumps into modifying every inch of a '58.
The Ridler build arrives at the Autorama and at the initial drive test, Dave and Kev scramble to fix a transmission problem; the next day, the show opens to the public and the judging begins; it's also their first chance to size up the competition.
The '58 Corvette owner's idea is to top off his collection with a custom CF1, which Dave would love to do; the client's wish is to debut them both together, so Dave now has his work cut out for him.
It's the first time Dave and Kev auction off one of their CF1s and the first time they've attended Mecum's biggest event of the year; they're also on the lookout for a deal for themselves.
Ever since Dave set the market with his Safari bus build, he has been itching to get his hands on another VW and have some fun; this car might be more than he bargained for, as the car itself is a heap of rusty parts and a broken-down engine.
A few years back, Dave and Kev had a blast checking out cars at the Adirondack Nationals in Lake George, NY; now they are back East checking out all the oddball cars in Syracuse.
A friend of Kindig-It Design arrives at the shop with a new build that has Dave's creative juices overflowing. It has been a decade since Dave has tackled an Oldsmobile, and he comes up with a design that keeps the car's charm, but also makes it bitchin'.
Dave Kindig, KevDogg and Will Lockwood take a stroll down memory lane, looking back at the last 10 years.
The pinnacle of the custom car world is the Don Ridler Award, given out every year at the Detroit Autorama; Dave Kindig has always had a Ridler-sized itch he needed to scratch and finally found the right client and idea to make it a reality.
The fabrication process begins; the team begins to see how difficult building a car out of aluminum by hand will be; each panel needs to be handcrafted to perfection and some of the lines in Dave's drawings look virtually impossible to replicate.
After almost a year of fabrication, the team starts assembling panels into the shape of a car; the chassis is also made of aluminum and after a painstaking frame-design process, the two shapes are melded together for the first and last time.
The team passes a big milestone in the Ridler build as the body and chassis are merged with mock-ups of the other major elements of the car; for the next step, the body shop matches every panel, gaps the car seamlessly and fixes any flaws.
Fabrication is done for the Ridler build, and the client is amazed by their progress. Dave agonizes over the color, since that's the first thing most people notice. The previous five winners were all yellow, but Dave decides to go in another direction.

A 1971 Chevy Nova with tremendous pedigree arrives at the shop to get classic Kindig-It styling cues; Dave wants to make this car into a hardtop; tucked-in bumpers, front valance and a new engine provide a good test for the crew.
Upcoming
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.
Upcoming
While the shop perfects its process in building the CF1s, word about the car spreads and potential buyers line up; the latest client has a big problem when he can't choose the perfect color combination.
Upcoming
Dave and Kev take the show to the Midwest, as more than 2,500 cars descend on the Summit Motorsports drag strip for a weekend of fun; Kev gets a ride in a lean, mean drag racing machine; Dave steps up his autocross game.
Upcoming
A client enlists Dave on a mission from God to make his dreams of a father/son road trip along Route 66 come true; getting the client's mechanically unsound reproduction of the Bluesmobile ready for the road will test the crew's mettle.
Upcoming
Kevin Schiele breathes new life into a semi-hauler by giving it a visual and functional upgrade that impeccably reflects his expertise in trucks.
