Dave Kindig's first TV appearance! | Chopped 1937 Chevy Coupe "Cavallo Rossa" by Kindig-it Design

[@rpmfreak9150]

After highschool I opened up my own custom motorcycle shop, and the color of the first bike that we built was Candy Apple Red. 30 years later I am retired from doing the actual fabrication work, I do have a Custom motorcycle shop but we only sale them now. I've seen some really good builders in my life, but Dave Kingdig and his Crew are the very best that I have ever seen. Builders are only as good as their team" Will Lockwood and Kris Elmer are the best in the field. I have had some very talented employee's over the last three decades" that has helped me make a very good living. I'll never take full credit for anything that my crew and I have built together, unfortunately most of those guys lived the fast life. After loosing my top fabricator and best friend to an overdose, I couldn't imagine trying to build anything else. Great video brother thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Love this car and the work that went into it. Dave seems like a really nice guy and so are the guys that work for him. They each bring their own talents to the shop and Dave seems to give them the room to show their talent. Each guy in his shop is a master craftsman. That shop is truly unlimited. Much respect to Dave and ALL the craftsman that work at Kindig-It.

[@blazinggazelle6957]

One of the nicest custom cars I have ever seen! The color is fantastic!

[@mandygraham3027]

Every paint job Kindig does just blows my mind ..no matter the angle in the sun , it's just another shade , another line ...just amazingly beautiful the paint work he does on his cars

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Dave carried himself very well for his first TV appearance. Gorgeous car.

[@ftby59mikeD]

His work is phenomenal, I.... .. "can-dig"-it!👍👍 Thanks Dennis!

[@gregsimon9061]

Dave has such a great eye for detail. Fabulous car.

[@djquinn11]

That’s for sure, it’s beautiful

[@geofo60]

Wow !!! That’s a mind blowing, stunning, beautiful Street Rod. The colour has to be one of the best Candy reds I’ve ever seen & the detail in the interior is magnificent. 👏👏👏

[@MrHand-ih4sz]

So many over the top builds out there that end up looking cartoon-like. Kindig always stays true to the original car. Cant imagine how much work went into that thing. Beautiful Chev.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mgcarr61camaro91]

Daves cars are pieces of art ! Wow ! Best car builder at this time !

[@foadrightnow5725]

That is the sweetest ride! And that color is simply delicious! Dave and his team are world class and kill it on EVERY build they do!

[@adriantomlin2902]

Yeah! I'm pretty confident that that they kill the owners with the bill??!! Lol!!!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Dave's work is not cheap, but it's worth every penny!

[@foadrightnow5725]

@@MyClassicCarTV - That's true. But what some don't realize is just how many man-hours is required to custom fabricate all the various components and parts for each build. So, I don't necessarily think Dave charges much more than industry standard for labor, it's the accumulated amount of man-hours required that makes a build expensive! It's not unheard of for a build to have 2,000 man-hours put into it! At $50 per hour, which is conservative, that's $100,000 just in labor alone! Parts and materials could easily equal that amount, if not exceed it. So, that's $200,000. Then add another $50,000 or so for Dave's fees. If you get a Kendigit Design custom built car for under a quarter mil, you're doing good!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

That sounds about right.

[@mickb474]

That colour is gorgeous! The build quality and workmanship is top notch just like everything that comes out of Kindig It Design!

[@timmadison2375]

Awesome job Dave a big thank you from my wife and I, we love watching your show and you all have become part of our family.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Dave's a great guy!

[@farmerbill6855]

Dave and his guys are as good as it gets when it comes to customs. Kendigit puts out some sweet rides.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

The best!

[@Forgive7x70times]

That ‘37 Chevy is a work of art! BEAUTIFUL! An artistic vision come to life!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Truly!

[@jeffreyphillips4182]

I watch his show whenever it's on. I was in the paint and body business for 45 years, but we could never do anything like this. A true master of his trade

[@chriskelly6559]

Driving this beauty down the road will result in absolutely NO lack of attention. A for sure head turner. Mas kudos.

[@stevediduck9963]

WOW, what else can be said. This 37 is an absolute MASTERPIECE. Your work Dave is second to none. SteveD

[@lambrokedrc5998]

You Kindig-it alright!!! Sweet! THNX!

[@TheEleatic]

Well, that's a high level of artistry.

[@shawnbeck2303]

Long before Dave became famous! His talents were shining like a "Diamond" Great car and interview. I love more than average. Show me what you got mentality! That color and that engine is awesome. What a car! Shawn.

[@rickdaystar477]

I love your show.. Thanks for putting this clip up. I watch Kindig and respect his vision,talent and ethics when building a car.

[@jerrycoon3369]

Thats a beauty. My favorite car they did was the copper caddy. Loved the way they stretched the front wheel opening. Dave has great vision.

[@dieseldog00]

He kept saying, "look at that!" Will you look at that?? Look at that!!" LOL.😜🤪😝

[@mrrpepsi24]

Proud to live in the same town as Dave !

[@jefftischler7422]

In the early 90's i built a 37 Chevy along with the Posies shop in Pennsylvania. It was featured in several magazines including Hot Rod shot by Gray Baskerville. There are so many features between the two cars that are similar, it's quite interesting, I won't list them here except for the Porsche 911 electric sunroof in mine. There are some things about Dave's I like that I didn't think of back then, beautiful car! One other thing, I drive mine all the time, to work and cross-country trips.

[@johnjonzz4348]

If I had the money, Dave Kindig would be working on my cars. A real work of art!

[@Tom-kn6sr]

Kendig is definitely an artist and any car he gets his hands on is his canvas .

[@dieseldog00]

I wonder what he could do with my 4 door Hyundai Hybrid...

[@JonBlondell]

I have to agree, this is truly art. Very uncommon, thank you!

[@Tmrfe0962]

Dave is a craftsman second to none....

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Two car shows I love watching you and Dave At least it is a nice show with no yelling or crap like a lot of previous tv shows 👍👍😍😍

Dave and his team are the best in the business

[@jimmyjennings5343]

Dave is the man!! I used to like watching his show when I had the channel. Brilliant designer, but seems so humble and down to earth. No fabricated drama on his show either. I like the Kounts personally on his show too.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Dave's a genuinely good guy!

[@jimmyjennings5343]

@@MyClassicCarTV Kindig, Danny Coker, and Chip Foose are in my top three people I wouldn't mind meeting. They seem like really cool guys. Oh, and Gene Winfield. A tour through Gene's shop would be amazing. I've seen videos (probably one of yours, lol), it looks wildly eccentric and amazing.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

You're right about Gene's shop!

[@kyleforeman4543]

His shop is top notch still, an a great visionary,,stunning workmanship

[@King_Nero_1]

Turning a '37 coupe into that is a statement by itself, but the details of improvements were worth a closer look for sure!

[@TheMrMurf]

I watch every single build show like Kindig, gas monkey, counts kustom, iron resurrection, Texas metal and so on! All amazing but Kindig is the top of the line making vehicles into ART 🖼

[@gradypitts6887]

Great car i love these kind of cars

[@unkulwilly]

Love that gauge cluster!

[@tommycollier9172]

Dave and his crew are the Best!!!

[@kevinnobody3052]

Kindig is hands down one of the best

[@MyClassicCarTV]

I agree completely! If I'm at a show and I see a car that totally blows me away, you can bet it's one of Dave's. He's a genuinely great guy too!

[@johngaudet6316]

OMG YA, BITCHIN RIDES IS MY FAVORITE SHOW.

[@dexterplant778]

Wonderful rolling art work, when I first saw it I thought maybe house of kolour paint, but I was corrected.

[@outdoorfuninthesun2393]

Beautiful car, kinda reminds me of a '37 Packard with a chopped top.

[@joelhill4107]

That is Beautiful!!!!! Fantastic looking jalopy!!!!

[@jamesmoore3346]

Dave Kindig, a self taught designer. I' d say he did a hell of a job teaching himself.....had never heard of him until about a month ago while in the hospital for the dreaded covid, they show him alot on velocity TV....

[@dieseldog00]

So did the docs say you're clear of covid? We took Dr. Fauci's advice, got the shots and boosters and hunkered down. We are elderly, late 70s, and did not want to spend much time with others until the 'all clear' sounded.

[@jameslester6785]

If I could afford it and I had a car to customize, there is no doubt that Dave would be at the top of the list.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

You and me both!
