CF1 Custom Build

Kindig It Design - CF1

Kindig It Design, led by Dave Kindig, has been making waves throughout the automotive world by breaking the boundaries of what is possible in restomods. Documenting their journey and innovations in custom tailored fabrication through the hit show “Bitchin’ Rides,” Kindig It Designs has set its sights even higher with Dave Kindig's newest “CF1” design, inspired by the '53 Corvette. Completely customized and fabricated carbon fiber body, Lingerfelter tuned LS7 motor with fitted Borla 8-stack injection, Wilwood disc brakes, and even the wheels are one offs, and of course more. From the frame up, the CF1 brings the extravagance and polish of its muse back to life, while taking it to greater heights in true Kindig It Design style.

I gave Dave a call and we talked about taking the CF1 to another level. I told him the first CF1's are masterpieces, but let's do something unique.

Breaking Boundaries

The CF1, especially with Tom and Dave's special additions, is a huge leap forward for high quality, high detail custom fabrication. With a completely custom fabricated chassis, Kindig It Design is breaking boundaries by proving that a shop building custom cars and restomods can manufacture an entire vehicle at and above the quality only possible by large-scale manufacturers in the past. The CF1 may be inspired by timeless cars of the past, but it is a true inspiration for the future.

1953 Corvette Quick History

A true piece of automotive history, the original 1953 "C1" Corvette, was surrounded by excitement as the Corvette went from prototype to production, the beginning of a new household name in cars. Limited to only 300 production units in 1953, the 1953 Corvette is one of the rarest, most admired collector cars today.

Tom was insistent to let Dave do his job!

I’m not an artist, nor do I build cars. I started working on cars with my Dad when I was around 8 yrs old and attended many shows and we did win on and off. However, this does not give me the credentials to design and fabricate custom builds. Rather than going to an artist and telling them what to do, my position is to give them ideas on what I would like from my knowledge base and let the artist (Dave Kindig) combine my thoughts and have trust in the Kindigit Team with Dave at the helm.
