Dave Kindig is a television star famous for his show “Bitching Rides”. Growing up, Kindig had a passion for Hot Wheels, drawing and legos and it’s no surprise that he’s now made a career out of it. He is immensely successful as the owner and chief designer of the custom car shop “Kindig-It”. The store is located in Salt Lake, Utah, and has 27,000 square feet of workspace.
With his entire team of skilled mechanics and designers, he redesigned various cars. They start by sketching out their ideas, then they carve the model out of paper and finally put their idea into practice. His service is expensive and Dave realizes that it is not affordable for everyone. But still, due to his popularity status, he has customers lined up for his contribution. Now let us know more about Dave.
DAVE KINDIG: EARLY CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION
Dave Rick Kindig was born on February 6, 1991 in Salt Lake, Utah. As it happens to people with normal people before finding fame, not much is known about his youth. Although Dave in his teens is shown to have a deep passion for cars and creativity.
At 17, Dave fell in love with classic Volkswagen Beetles. This creative person then started working as a graphic designer and customization. It was also reported that he has worked for 8 long years in the field of high performance coatings. These companies worked with a ceramic coating on the exhaust system to display the cars at auto shows.
DAVE KINDIG: CAREER
Dave constantly likes to joke about his engineering degree in Hot Wheels and Legos. However, he is a self-taught designer who never went to art school. He didn’t even go to college but got into it because of his love for cars. Dave was very passionate about drawing and designing model cars, so he joined lego parts to design cars.
More recently, Dave has his own TV show, “Bitching Rides,” and it ranks among the most-watched shows on the Velocity network. The show premiered in 2014, but long before that, it was a prominent name in the design industry. This show just added the shine to his work and gave him marketing power, and now the business is thriving.
Kindig offers a very unique and equally expensive service. He, on average, makes a six-figure sum to redesign a car and it’s not something many can afford to do. He got into this field at the age of 29, hoping to showcase his creative talents and that is exactly what he has been able to do today. Interestingly, he never uses computers to create drawings but draws them in about 2 minutes. Currently Dave has been able to extend his service to big names in the industry including Lotus, Lamborghini, Dodge and Harley Davidson.

Dave constantly mentions his wife as the best thing that ever happened to him. He took his inspirations from Charity to fulfill his dreams of owning a custom car shop.
