Kindig-It "Corvette" wins Riddler
|
Kindig seems like one of the good guys in the TV show car restoring business but what's up with super low profile tires on everything?
|
^^^ Agreed on Kindig. From what I’ve read, he came from humble beginnings. I like watching his show.
They did several cars is a medium to light blue exterior with a beige interior and I really like that combination. That Corvette is not doing it for me though. |

And yea, Kendig seems too be a great guy and does great work, from exceptional quality employees. |
Pretty hard to get 15” tires these days, 14” are ever more scarce.

That's a stain on the Ridler award.

The Falconer V12 rocks. I like the car except for the wheels. Wheels are an easy fix.
|
The execution is amazing, but it's just horrific.
|
From the angle of the above picture. The roofline reminds me of a Volvo P1800.

Sign o' the times.
It costs 7 figures to win the Ridler these days. I'm beginning to think that the reason for the prize has lost it's way. AMBR award (Oakland) has become the more meaningful award, at least to my way of thinking, because there is still a chance that the little guy can win the top prize. |
I take it the car is not drivable and just for show.
I'd rather have a turtle pond. |
Corvettes of that era don't need to be re-designed...at all. Just my opinion.
|
f'ugly.
lotta talent went into that thing! |
Not a style I like, but you have to admire the craftsmanship..

If I remember correctly he stretched them to add much needed legroom. |
What will people think of it in 25 years?

I think the Kindig crew are are some of the most talented fabricators on TV but not many of their creations are meant for street use, just for car shows. Most don’t even have wipers or mirrors. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching the craftsmanship on that show.

I think most of the guys on motortrend are decent guys less Dan I think from Resoration Garage,and that guy with the long hair in Canada. Ones just bitter, the other seems pompous Jesse James can rub me the wrong way too. I like his work and he seems okay at times. He always seem to say something a bit jerky to me.
Dave and Kev Dog does seem like a great guys. Back to the cars, I love the craftsmanship but I don’t get everyone Blinging out the cars. Sometimes there is more with less. Personally I think it’s a get low car. Wife would get low in seat when driving by people, a bit much. Just my opinion. |
All the finalists are works of art. As cars, not so much

I seriously doubt any of these Ridler cars will ever see a concrete or asphalt road. Most are trailered in and people pushed on the show floor. Pushed back on the trailer and sit in a climate controlled building forever. Easily 6-7 figure cars.
