Beginning Wednesday, October 21 at 9 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV the new season BITCHIN' RIDES will feature some of Kindig-It Design's most challenging and diverse projects to date including a 1966 Corvette, a 1951 Ford Pickup Truck, a Kindig concept Corvette, a 1967 C10 and many more.

When his pen hits paper Dave Kindig begins the process of creating exceptional works of art from ordinary, rusted out cars.

In every episode of BITCHIN' RIDES, viewers go inside Kindig's expansive custom car shop in Utah for a real, unfiltered look at how Dave and his team sketch, design, fabricate and assemble world-class cars from the wheels up.
