Kindig has evolved into one of my very favorite designers... His eye for the simple unadorned shapes, are breathtakingly splendid...

[@RobertLewisHUB]

To the untrained eye, these cars look factory. They’re definitely clean and pack a serious punch 🦾

[@jeffb5785]

I just love the show, it's fun with little or no drama, I also like Iron Ressurection, Texas Metal, and the newest Shortys Dream Shop. I used to like Fantom Works but when the drama started I didn't appreciate it much. I will never forget the one that started the whole TV car fixer upper show that started it all for me, Overhaulin

[@RobertLewisHUB]

They’ve created a masterpiece!

[@Abrora77]

The main trait that distinguishes such restoration specialists as Dave Kindig and Chip Foose from other restorators is the insight. Insight helps them see stock imperfections of cars and transform them into real artisan masterpiece. The other feature is to collect professional team and utilize it correctly! This is the secret of success!😉 Wish you all the best!
