Bitchin' Rides - Season 8
Season 8
Episodes
'Mueller? 'Mueller?
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 Holy Grail, But Customized
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 hugh test for the shop.
Meet Judge Kevdogg
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.
Restorations? We're Talking 'Bout Restorations?
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.
It's a Barn Door Deluxe, of Course
Once again, Dave is thrilled with the latest build, while KevDogg is barely lukewarm. Dave has done double-cab VW's, Bugs and Karmann Ghias, but now he is taking on something completely different -- and even more rare.
The Big Brother
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.
Who Gets Number One?
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.
Introducing the Kindig CF1
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.
How We Got Here
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.
New York, New York
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
The Pantera of the Future
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.
Not So Subtle
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.
Strawberry Rolls Forever
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.
Now That Is a Bitchin' Ride
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.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.

The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.
Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
The Sandman
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he's made during his vast existence.
