SEMA 2021 Kindig-It Design's CF1 A 21st Century 1953 Corvette
Without Charity standing by Dave on his dream so long ago and throughout it all, none of this would have been possible. “It is the most rewarding experience to build a business with your best friend, and the hardest thing I have ever done,” Charity explained. With a father who was a hot rodder and car club member, and a mother who was certainly a fan of classic cars herself, Charity grew up knowing all about the hot rodder passion. In 17 years and counting, Kindig-It Design has built, customized and blown the industry away with hundreds of unique build creations.

Shop Foreman
As a young car enthusiast, Charity delved into the automotive hobby on the work front as well, claiming a parts-runner job at a local automotive shop. Once there, she worked her way up the ranks, eventually becoming a manager and overseeing the warehouse. After the aftermarket shop, her next automotive job was as co-owner of Kindig-It Design. For years, the thought of opening a custom shop was deeply seeded in Dave Kindig’s mind.

The cabin is impressive in that it retains the look and feel of the 1953’s Buck Rogers-flavored interior but with every modern convenience thrown in. JS Customs stitched the interior, and again, the dimensions are now appropriate for modern humans. The steering wheel is especially understated and cool with a nod to early-’50s Chevrolet design. The bumpers and trim have been tucked-in and even the two winglets on the rocketship taillights have been shaved. The Forgeline wheels fill out the wheel wells nicely, and although they might be a little too big for purists, the rolling stock is spot-on.

The windshield is a work of art. It captures the vibe of the Motorama original, but it’s lower and sleeker, and is the perfect crown on top of the new body lines. We’ve always said that many of the best builds at the Las Vegas supershow are lurking around the edges. But this year, two of the coolest cars at the convention center were from big cheese builder, Dave Kindig and Kindig-it Design. In search of beginning his Mechanical Engineering career, he moved to Salt Lake City in August of 2022, applied for a few jobs, and sent his resume to Kindig-it Design on a whim. After a three-hour interview, at a local engineering firm, he noticed he had missed calls from Kevdogg.

In addition, your team of selected designers and your project manager will quickly identify your company’s graphic profile or even be involved in creating it from scratch. If your graphic designs are outdated or don’t reflect where your brand stands, it diminishes your credibility with customers. Whether your creative content is about growing plants, advising on advanced tech, or promoting e-commerce, it doesn’t matter. A mishmash of visuals across your social media will not generate confidence in your brand. At Klingit, our modern approach to graphic design on websites and social media starts with having top-class graphic design services available in your time zone.

As a child, Ira would listen to stories his father would tell of the 1960’s custom car scene in Southern California where his dad had an auto upholstery shop. Fabrication specialist, Howard “Mandel” Coliflower, grew up in Harrison, Ohio and accredits his automotive obsession to his childhood pals. Introduced to the Lowrider and Mini-Truckin’ scenes as a teen, Howard began honing his skills through personal and customer projects, finding his love of all things custom (especially suspensions). Ultimately deciding to diversify his skill-set, he attended Wyotech to learn all facets of the trade and spent the next decade in sunny Florida sharpening his skills in metal fabrication, bodywork, and interior construction. In August of 2018, Howard was invited to give Kindig-it Design a try by his former Wyotech classmate, Jason Lynch.
