Private Notes
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.
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.
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.
The crew at Salt Lake City's Kindig-It Design restores classic cars and creates custom vehicles.
Training the next generation in the art of bitchin' rides is something near and dear to Dave's heart, and after years of planning and dreaming, he has finally arrived at the opening of his passion project, the Kindig Academy. To kick off the school opening, the team throws a car show and has a friendly competition. Back at the shop, the team dials in a newly rebuilt engine in a '57 'Vette.
Unfortunately, when buying classic cars, you can't be 100% sure of what you've bought until you start to peel away the layers. A ‘69 Camaro comes in, and when Dave and team get a closer look, they determine with the owner that it requires a full rebuild. And since the team will be starting from scratch, the client decides to go all-out on the chassis, engine and every detail.
With the Camaro's design firmed up, the build continues, but hits a roadblock when it comes to getting the engine dialed in just right. Dave has second thoughts about the color combination.
What starts as a simple engine repair slowly turns into a patented Kindig slippery slope, as a show-ready '35 Roadster V8 will require a full rebuild. The mechanical chops of the shop get pushed to the limit on this car.
The shop hits the road with their freshest builds to check out and compete against the competition. Will and Dave's cousin Brad give their "unique" views on the cars they come across, and they team up to challenge Dave in an autocross to remember.
A 1955 Bel Air comes in for a mechanical upgrade, and Dave's son needs some help with his pickup truck. While the shop is buzzing with all this activity, Dave announces they will be holding their first-annual pinewood derby competition.
A beat-up truck arrives at the shop, and underneath all the rust lies a hidden gem.
The C10 moves into final assembly, and the upholstery shop puts on their finishing touches. Getting the bed to fit perfectly and dialing in the new air ride are a challenge, and the upholstery runs into one problem after another. The owner has had this truck on his mind for years, but seeing the finished product makes it all worth it.
