I think Kindig is being influenced by having a show. Look at some of their builds before the show, and they were actually drivable cars without stupid large rims. One in particular that stands out is this GTO. The owner actually drove it and I think did a power tour (or two) with it. Then, later, after the show had gotten popular, we got this....... One of my favorite cars that Kindig did was the '34 Dodge Sedan. This was finished the year the show started...... To answer the OP's question, I would still consider Bitchin but would check out Strope ........

[quote=resqguy]The only Mopar I gave them would be a late 50's or very early 60's forward look car (no rare or 300 series). No LS, no cartoon wheels but otherwise go nuts. Anything mid 60's or later would go to my local shop owned by Le Hodge. [/quote
Le Hodge has produced some absolutely outstanding cars. I live just outside Washington DC in the Northern Virginia suburbs where several Le Hodge cars are regulars at local cruises and shows. One is a 1971 EV2 'Cuda 440 727 that now has a built 1971 Hemi under the hood. The body and paint are superb. The same owner has a 1969 Charger R/T - with a modern 6.4 Hemi - in Black / Black. Both high dollar cars .... the owner also has Le Hodge completing a Challenger T/A.
I would definitely send my # Mopar to Le Hodge any day ...
Like the women I have dated --- Always looking for a better deal ....

The '52 Pontiac ragtop that Kendig did lives about 75 miles from me. I have it on good authority that he has north of $450,000 in that car. Moral of the story is that unless you have deep pockets, ANY shop is going to be expensive. And by that I mean in excess of $100K expensive.

Neither X2 None of the above shops know Mopars. X3. But it would be a dream to have Chip Foose work on a car of mine. Actually my Power Wagon.

Neither X2 None of the above shops know Mopars. X3. But it would be a dream to have Chip Foose work on a car of mine. Actually my Power Wagon. He'd probably convert it to two wheel drive so he could bag it............. Back when Foose had his show and was doing peoples cars, I remember the episode where he 'lost' me, the one where he did a blue '70's Chevy Van. It was a short wheel base van the guy had special ordered new with 3/4 or 1 ton suspension because he hauled bikes, camped, etc, etc. The heavy duty suspension was supposed to be available only on the regular size vans or cab and chassis vans. The guy almost seemed proud of having been able to special order it. Foose and his team pulled it all out and went back with 1/2 ton suspension so they could bag it. As nice as the Foose team made the van, it lost a major part of what made it unique. This one:

Yeah John I have noticed Chip wants to do what all the others do and always throw a modern flare on everything e.g. big wheels, low profile tires, modern flashy paint etc. I notice even when the insider suggested one thing he still would take it a different direction that he liked better. But as a paying customer who was calling the shots I'd take Chip's talent over any others. And he seems like a caring, sincere guy.
