In this episode of Bitchin' Rides, season 8, episode 5, titled "It's a Barn Door Deluxe," viewers are taken on a ride with the crew of Kindig-It Design as they work on a Jeep project that presents a series of challenges.
The episode opens with Dave Kindig, the owner of Kindig-It Design and his team, discussing their latest challenge - a 1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep. Dave and his crew have taken on this project for a couple who have had the Jeep in their family for generations. The Jeep had been sitting unused for several years and now needs a complete overhaul. However, the biggest challenge is that a bulk of the original parts for the Jeep are missing.
Despite the setback, Dave and his team get to work to transform the Jeep into a showstopper. As they work on the Jeep, viewers are shown the intricate detailing and customization that goes into building one of their signature "bitchin' rides." Dave takes pride in the fact that no detail is too small or insignificant when it comes to creating a masterpiece.
Throughout the episode, viewers see the team face multiple challenges with the Jeep project. For instance, the Jeep came with barn doors that were custom-made decades ago and need to be restored. The team faces quite a challenge as they want to maintain the original look of the doors, but also make them functional and safe for driving.
As the team continues to work on the Jeep project, they face another setback - they discover that the Jeep came with a non-matching transmission. The team has to source the right transmission that will match the engine. Dave is determined to get everything right and ensure that his clients' Jeep will stand out.
Viewers also get an in-depth look into the processes that Kindig-It Design employs to create some of the most jaw-dropping cars. For example, the team shows the process of how they put the paint on a car and how they make sure every surface is perfect.
One of the highlights of the episode is when the team shows the finished Jeep to the owners, who are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. The Jeep has been transformed into a sleek and modern ride that still maintains its vintage charm. The Jeep features custom-made upholstery, new wheels, and an engine that's been rebuilt from the ground up.
As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left in awe of the incredible work that the Kindig-It Design team is able to do. "It's a Barn Door Deluxe" showcases the incredible attention to detail and incredible craftsmanship that goes into building each and every "bitchin' ride."
