Latest Kindig It Designs episode

I watched the latest Kindig It Designs episode last night. If you missed it, this was an absolute killer build. They had a specially designed and built BBC with 638 cubes and twin turbos that produced 2000 horses. The car's owner wanted the most horsepower possible with it all under the stock hood. The engine is actually capable of 4000 horses with a change in fuel and some tweaking and tuning, but decided 2000 was more than enough to run on the street. Then they painted EVERYTHING red except for what was highly polished chrome or rubber. If you missed it, try and catch one of the reruns.

I normally don't like these insanely built "tv" cars, I love the stuff that comes out of the Kindig It shop. Will have to look for this.

I'm usually the same way, Dan. Of all the car shows on the tube, I probably watch Garage Squad more than any other, and that's due to the fact that a lot of their rescues end up being, or at least looking like, 60s and 70s muscle cars. I'm pretty old school that way. I usually don't get into pro street, insane engines, slammed to the grounders, or monster sized wheels with rubber band tires. I do look at all the builds on the forum just because I can appreciate a good build no matter what style it represents. The guys on another forum are slowly indoctrinating me to tubbed pro street cars. And I am slightly impressed with a few of them.

When you see the whole show with this Nova you'll understand why I was impressed. If nothing else, the unbelievable plumbing and customizing they did both under hood and throughout the car is nothing less than ridiculously impressive. Long before any actual work was done, the guys had to do some really creative imagining to even come up with the ideas they incorporated. The owner's idea was to project a sleeper and I'd say they did that very well. I'd hate to be the cocky kid with a pro street rod that made the mistake of challenging this thing at a stop light, or even worse, one of us old farts with our 400 horse muscle car!

If I recall correctly, the turbos are 98 mm turbos. Just the 2 turbos were in the $10,000 range or up. There is absolutely NO WAY this car came in under 100 grand. If somebody was to make a gift of that car to me I'd instantly switch from a MOPAR guy to a Bowtie guy.
