Season 4 of Velocity’s #1 Series Premieres Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 9 PM ET/PT with Back-to-Back Episodes
(Silver Spring, Md.) – Velocity’s #1 series BITCHIN’ RIDES is returning for an all new season of exceptionally built and designed vehicles from self-made fabricator Dave Kindig and his celebrated custom car fabrication shop Kindig It Design. Velocity’s most popular series revs up season four on Tuesday, October 3 at 9 PM ET/PT with back-to-back episodes taking viewers inside the restoration of a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 that hasn’t hit the road in 60 years, and a challenge from a father and son duo who want the Kindig It team to apply their magic touch to a 2016 Hellcat and a 1973 Cuda.
When his pen hits paper Dave Kindig begins the process of creating exceptional works of art from ordinary, rusted out cars.

In every episode of Velocity’s BITCHIN’ RIDES, viewers head inside Kindig’s expansive custom car shop in Utah for a real, unfiltered look at how Dave and his team sketch, design, fabricate and assemble cars from the wheels up.
In addition to the ’57 For Failane 500, this season of BITCHIN’ RIDES transforms a number of different vehicles including a 1927 Shadow Rod, 1969 McLaren, 2017 Bentley, 1966 Chevelle, 1932 Roadster, 1968 Camaro and many more.

Dave also runs a sweepstakes for the 1929 roadster in order to raise money for a worthy charitable organization.
“If it Was Easy, Anyone Could Do it” Tuesday, December 5 at 9 PM A 1967 Chevelle with Great Eight pedigree and high expectations is the next challenge for the metal masters of Kindig It Design.

“Bobble-Head Ache” Tuesday, January 9 The 1967 GTO is ready for its debut, but the entire team kicks the tires on if Dave’s color choice is correct.
