The end of the series isn’t just about closing the doors on a show—it marks the end of an era in automotive television, and fans are struggling to process it.

For over a decade, Kindig-It Design, Dave’s custom shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been the heartbeat of Bitchin’ Rides, a show that brought viewers into the world of cutting-edge vehicle builds.

Kindig’s mix of artistry, precision, and passion for the craft made Bitchin’ Rides more than just another car show—it made it a phenomenon.

So, when news broke that the show would be ending, fans were left wondering what happened to cause such a dramatic change.

The bombshell came in a series of posts from Dave Kindig himself.

In a heartfelt and candid message, he explained the sudden and unforeseen turn of events that led to the show’s cancellation.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I have to announce that Bitchin’ Rides will be coming to an end,” Kindig wrote on his social media account.

“The decision wasn’t an easy one, and it’s not something we were expecting.

But life sometimes throws curveballs, and you have to adapt to the challenges that come your way.

 

According to Kindig, the end of Bitchin’ Rides is a result of several factors, one of which was the shifting landscape of television itself.

The rise of streaming platforms and the changing nature of network television have dramatically altered the way shows are produced, distributed, and consumed.

Kindig explained that despite Bitchin’ Rides being a long-standing success, the landscape had shifted, and with it, the support for shows like his.

“As much as we loved doing the show, the industry has changed, and there are fewer opportunities for the kind of content we’ve created,” he said.

“We’re living in a new era where traditional television just doesn’t have the same appeal it once did.

But it wasn’t just the shifting media landscape that contributed to the decision.

Kindig’s statement also hinted at deeper, more personal reasons for the end of the show.

He acknowledged that the production demands, while rewarding, had taken a significant toll on him and his team.

“The work is intense.

The deadlines are tight.

It’s a grind, and after so many years, I think we all just needed a break,” he admitted.

“We’ve been working tirelessly to bring our fans the best content possible, but at the end of the day, it’s about balance.

Family, health, and the future of Kindig-It Design matter just as much as anything else.

Fans of the show were devastated by the news, and social media exploded with reactions from people who had followed Bitchin’ Rides from the very beginning.

Many expressed their gratitude for the show, praising Kindig and his team for their unmatched skill in transforming classic cars into works of art.

Others couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss, knowing that the iconic builds and behind-the-scenes stories that had captivated them would soon come to an end.

“I can’t believe it’s over,” one fan wrote.

“Kindig-It Design is still here, and we’re still building the cars you love.

This isn’t the end of the road for us—it’s just a new chapter.
