Bitchin' Rides Season 8

Of all the different years and generations of the VW Bug, there is one that stands out among the rest -- the Hebmueller. There are maybe 200 of them left, so in addition to being hard to find, they are truly the holy grail of VWs.

The build continues, and the challenge is to keep what makes the car a Hebmueller intact, while taking bold steps to turn it into a hot rod. Dave keeps the traditional two-tone exterior, but modifying it to an automatic is a huge test for the shop.

Normally when Kindig-It Design attends a car show, their cars are the ones being judged. But this time around, Dave and Kev hold the keys and will have to select the top 10 builders out of the hundreds of cars that arrive for the show.

Dave's clients have owned a car since they got married 25 years ago and want it restored so they can enjoy it for another 25. While the shop isn't really into straight restorations, adding some custom pieces and paint makes them "say yes" to the project.

Once again, Dave is thrilled with the latest build, while KevDogg is barely lukewarm. Dave has done double-cab VWs, Bugs, and Karmann Ghias, but now he is taking on something completely different -- and even more rare.

Matching the two-tone paint job is the challenge of the day as the '53 Barn Door Deluxe build carries on. Custom trim, a new, more powerful engine, 22 windows and a custom interior all come together to make this surprise worth the wait.

Dave and the guys at Kindig-It proved they could execute Dave's vision of his production Corvette, but now that a few have sold, they have to get them completely finished. The buyers vying for car #1 are a true Corvette aficionado and his best friend.

In a special 100th episode, Dave and the team put the finishing touches on the first-ever Kindig CF Corvettes to complete a lifelong dream. However, the clients argue about who will get the first one, all in advance of a once-in-a-lifetime debut at SEMA.

For over eight years, the metal masters of Kindig-It Design have entertained audiences and inspired automotive fans. Now, Dave and Kevin make their return to the SEMA show after a year away, with an ambitious plan of bringing 10 new builds to Las Vegas.

Dave and Kev take the show as far east as they have ever gone and head to Lake George, New York, for the Adirondack Nationals. The entire town shuts down for this car show, attracting the best of the best on the East Coast.

A 1970s Pantera is already an iconic sportscar, but once Dave gets his hands on it, the style will never be the same. The client has given Dave free rein to change the car as he sees fit, but has one request -- he is 6'4" and can't comfortably get in it.

The whole team agrees that the body mods are just right, but now the crew must make it a reality. Milestones like bulging out the fenders, creating a spider-shaped exhaust, executing the stretch and getting the car to body are on tap for this stage.

Kindig-It Design is knee deep in a Pantera build when the owner throws a huge curveball. One of Dave's other clients is a Beatles fanatic, and he challenges Dave to paint his modern Rolls-Royce to match a car John Lennon commissioned in the late '60s. Also, Dave gets a visit from Utah native Donny Osmond, who has a unique project for the shop.

The Bitchin' Pantera is just about done -- paint, assembly and upholstery sound easy, but nothing is simple with this project. While the team bears down on the Pantera, Dave and Kev get an opportunity to upgrade their semi rig that's too good to pass up.
