Bitchin' Boot Camp - Season 1

After a nationwide search to find the best metal fabrication prospects around, Dave Kindig and KevDogg have invited 12 people to the shop to compete for one job at Kindig-It Design.

Dave and KevDogg keep the pressure on, as the remaining competitors pair up for a challenge to create a signature Kindig-It build feature. Teamwork is critical, and the team that can't figure it out will pack their bags.

The competition is quickly getting more difficult. Dave and Kev divide the group into two teams, and explain the day's assignment -- navigate a tricky exhaust challenge. The losing team will have to make a difficult choice.

The day's first exercise is to take an hour and see if they are more of a Dave or Kev artist. Next, project managers are chosen from the group and tasked to lead a team to design and execute a wing on a '68 Camaro trunk lid.

It's every contestant for themselves now, starting with a rusted out, dented fender that needs repair. At the last minute, Dave and Kev throw a major-league curveball after they decide that the challenge is a little too easy.

The ultimate job interview is down to four candidates, and the next test will see how well they can handle a staple project at Kindig-It Design. Even with the instructions available, this challenge is not as easy as it looks.

Dave wants to see how well the remaining three players can realize an original design on their own. Their challenge is to fabricate a grill from design to execution, with the winners getting a spot in the finale.

The final two are ready to lay it all on the line for just one job at Kindig-It. If Boot Camp has shown them anything, it's that when they think they have it all figured out, Dave and Kev are going to throw another curveball.
