Amazing builds! Really like the 300, the 53 and the Cougar/Pred....... in that order but simply tough to see the tricks and details without being there in person. Thanks for the coverage!
Yessssss, that vette looks like it came from one of the Italian stying houses like Pininfarina. If that car didnt win then they got robbed. The car beat every categories by bus lengths
Good Lord are these just beautiful machines. Of course can dig it knocked it out of the park not a big fan of those Wheels but a big fan of what he does and also for some strange reason I love that Chrysler😊
I’m glad someone finally built a fastback cougar. I’ve had pics of one for 10 years but never got a chance. Keith Kaucher drew it up or photochopped it. No one had a chance against the Kindig Vette tho.
You had to know that that Corvette was going to win! It was just a step above every other car there! But thank you for showing me the rest of the cars that it was up against. Some really nice cars that people put a lot of work into.❤
Yea he is a level above the competition but the others are still nice to look at! glad you enjoyed the video! if you want to see more I've got another video of a walk through of the entire show you should check it out th-cam.com/video/qFeYL0EQvEo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D664clhzRq6L69OD
The Kindig is a beautiful car, but the overall shape looked like a Corvette Corvair concept streched out like a modern day promod drag car .... the Henry Jenner and Cougar caught my attention ..... all were awesome cars 🎉
The shine factor on that impala was insane. Its like staring into the sun, you wanna look away but you just can't. May not have been the best of the 8, but i really like that blue.
I'm pretty sure the Cougar was the creation of JF Customs all the way out in British Columbia Canada? Cheers to JF and his talented team I agree this Cougar is a special, special car. 😊
It's all about the build at this level what you end up with after it has been judged and shown is almost and after thought? Except for when you are totalling up the receipts one night and realize how much money and time has just been invested! 😊
Dave have a 1 of 1 eye for design, his cars are just just immaculate and deserves to win but God it was some tough competition. The Chrysler will be my winner if Dave didn't present the Corvair
All great cars. I like the styling of the Predator the best but an awful choice of colors in my opinion. Red with white interior or dark highland green with tan interior...anything but green on green.
When do they get to the point where they don't even put tires on these cars? Not a fan of the old 10-speed wheel and tire look which seems to get more ridiculous all the time.
Within minutes of arriving at the show I ran into Dave Kindig. He was a total douchebag. So I bummed to learn that he won the Riddler. Was hoping the Chrysler 300 would win it. The fastback Cougar was really nice, as was the Eldo, but the Eldo builder mailed it in by just putting crate engine under the hood w/o doing anything to integrate it with the mods made to the car.
All the metal work on these vehicles and too many couldn't figure out how to route the air filter so it didin't look like an afterthought. 🙄 The Chrysler and Caddy were the worst.
Only like the chysler but I would put chrome back where it belongs the corvette fastback is ok but most of the cars are over done to modern standards not my cup of tea, just my own opinion which at the end of the day don't mean shit lmao
lmao I hear ya I actually like the chrystler. I did my 65 chevy impala similiar, similiar color, color matched the bumpers, got rid of the chrome and shaved everything I like it but not everyone's the same
Henry J interior is very dated..Corvair concept, is nice, shame it won't stop.. Chrome rotors..Mmm ok. I like the Chrysler 300. Tough looking car. And has decent sidewall.. not those dumbass low profile tires.
Must have been a shortage of contenders. The El Dorado should have been in the basement, the 56 Chevy looked like a nice car but certainly not up to this class, the proportions on the Henry J were kinda weird, the Cougar is confused, is it a race car with that engine, is it a foreign car with the offset stripes, the grill bars look very heavy, the 63 Impala was a strange shade of blue and the grille was really ugly, the once elegant Chrysler was a big blob of nothing and should have a big white star on the door! The Kindig car was in another league altogether, what a masterpiece! Sorry just my opinion
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of Dave Kindig’s work (usually), but this red thing whatever it is, looks like a clown car to me. Sorry Dave. It looks like something. Batman might drive on his day off I don’t know.
I am the only one that thinks big shiny wheels are a bit ‘old fashion’ and ‘off the shelf’. Can’t builder’s and designers put in a bit more effort to show of the wheels with some colour..?..
i agree a little on that one, i like some of the car setups with a dark gray paint with wheels accented with the same color or black. I built a 65 chevy impala and painted it a dark metalic gray and threw on some black wheel looks way better than me going with chrome wheels i think. im not s fan of wheels with reds or blues though
Wanna see more of Autorama 2024 Full show coverage/Walk through video here th-cam.com/video/qFeYL0EQvEo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QIfMBxC7QX4pqsGD
Every year I think surly it can’t get any better…. Then I saw the kindig corvette and it blew my mind… absolutely beautiful… my winner 😎🤙
53 CORVETTE for the WIN! Fantastic Design.
The TewlveAir Corvette knocked me out. Kindig did a stunning job.Thank you for bringing this to us. It was a real treat.
I agree 👍 and I'm glad u enjoyed it!
It’s amazing what money, imagination and talent can do.
Amazing builds!
Really like the 300, the 53 and the Cougar/Pred....... in that order but simply tough to see the tricks and details without being there in person.
Thanks for the coverage!
Glad you enjoyed it. I agree the amount of detail/customization on some of these cars are insane
I was there all day, I talked to Dave Kindig and others.
Was a good show!
Outstanding video, always nice to see what the cutting edge trends are in the custom car world, and the Detroit Great 8 always delivers.
Thankyou and yea the show was a blast lots of cool designs and builds
kindigit design has done it again absolutely phenomenal build
yea that design and build doesn't disappoint that's for sure!
TY for the Show video(s). Really enjoyed it
Your welcome!
The Predator and the V12 vette, outstanding!!
I love the roof line. So cool. The rest of it looks a lot like the ones he builds from scratch
7 of the top 8 thought they had a good chance until the v12 corvette fastback rolled in
🤣
I see that V8 and raise you 4 cylinders kind sir!
@@powertothesheeple5422 lol
Yessssss, that vette looks like it came from one of the Italian stying houses like Pininfarina. If that car didnt win then they got robbed. The car beat every categories by bus lengths
The car didn't even start right away 😅
A Shelby GT 500 with a Mercury front clip, cool.
I immediately thought "Nice roof swap on that restomod Cougar" when I saw it. Beautiful work but not over the top enough for a Great 8 IMO.
Yes, that was nice!
Outstanding builds all of them , but that corvette concept by Dave kindig’s shop was for me breathtakingly beautiful.
There have been some absolutely gorgeous cars that come out of that shop.
Paint job on the Impala is spectacular 👌🏾
oh yea I loved it
A mercury fastback cougar and a rear wheel drive Cadillac Eldorado...its about time, long overdue...great work by the builders.
i agree
Good Lord are these just beautiful machines. Of course can dig it knocked it out of the park not a big fan of those Wheels but a big fan of what he does and also for some strange reason I love that Chrysler😊
I'm a fan of the 300 to and the impala
My favorite was the Chrysler and the 59 Vette Kindigit designed concept Corvair was nice also !!!
Thank you for the Video, good work.
Glad you enjoyed t! Was a good show!
The Cougar and Kendig vette is my favorite
Absolutely beautiful 👍👍
I agree!
I’m glad someone finally built a fastback cougar. I’ve had pics of one for 10 years but never got a chance. Keith Kaucher drew it up or photochopped it. No one had a chance against the Kindig Vette tho.
Enjoyed ❤

Your welcome glad you enjoyed the footage!
De toute beauté wow !
Kindig is in a different league... and what a beautiful video well done
Yea he is a level above the competition but the others are still nice to look at! glad you enjoyed the video! if you want to see more I've got another video of a walk through of the entire show you should check it out th-cam.com/video/qFeYL0EQvEo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D664clhzRq6L69OD
Henry J very very nice 3rd choice of 8.
The Kindig is a beautiful car, but the overall shape looked like a Corvette Corvair concept streched out like a modern day promod drag car .... the Henry Jenner and Cougar caught my attention ..... all were awesome cars 🎉
Totally agree
Beautiful cars..... Awesome Craftsmanship!
For sure!
really good
Good Vibrations '63 Impala SS 🥶🥶
Vanilla Gorilla '67 Eldorado🤍🤍
1959 Chrysler 300E 🔥🔥
Enjoyed!!!! 🤜🤛
Good to hear thanks for the comment!
The shine factor on that impala was insane. Its like staring into the sun, you wanna look away but you just can't. May not have been the best of the 8, but i really like that blue.
Oh yea it was stunning!
It looks like old cars all have either huge, gigantic wheels, or else little bitty wheels, that dance up and down.
yea two different styles/car cultures
53 all the way!
COUGAR Predator is my choice!
I'm pretty sure the Cougar was the creation of JF Customs all the way out in British Columbia Canada? Cheers to JF and his talented team I agree this Cougar is a special, special car. 😊
I AGREE Mr Hanger. Them tail lights are hideous and they should of left the dashboard alone. Beautiful car other than them 2 problems.
These builds are beyond amazing but what fun is there in owning a trailer queen? Perhaps I should view this as art creation and not as car building.
It's all about the build at this level what you end up with after it has been judged and shown is almost and after thought? Except for when you are totalling up the receipts one night and realize how much money and time has just been invested! 😊
love that Cougar
JF Kustoms a previous winner..
@@carlosoruna7174 yes I know, finished 3 the first time, love his work
Dave have a 1 of 1 eye for design, his cars are just just immaculate and deserves to win but God it was some tough competition. The Chrysler will be my winner if Dave didn't present the Corvair
yea some nice builds
My choice is the 59 Corvette.
that '59 Chrysler
The '56 Chevy is gorgeous, but what is up with the goofy looking tail lights? Hard to believe someone thought that looks good.
We all know what they say about opinions. I love them !
Mirror reflections and sports car for the win. 😁
Weird that the 63 Impala would ditch its incredibly beautiful dashboard/instrument cluster.
I liked the red 1959 Corvette the best car is beautiful. Green mercury is nice but I would not have painted it fluorescent green.
yea I agree that green was a little different didn't fit the car imo
yes of course they are all fantastic but Dave is in a special place with Chip ...I'm a new subscriber Chuck, and you have some serious skills too
thankyou sir!
Personally, I think he has left Foose in the dust.
Which one is my favourite?
, Cannot decide
'51 Kaiser Henry J should have won.
Definately a nice build!
Where can I get more info. on the Cougar ?
Maybe a quick Google search 🤔
Unusual to see all late model cars??
Feel sad about that Chrysler 😢
It was such a great car when it was original
i love the look 🤣
blue n black impala was Tight
I agree one of my favorites that and the 300
All great cars. I like the styling of the Predator the best but an awful choice of colors in my opinion. Red with white interior or dark highland green with tan interior...anything but green on green.
When do they get to the point where they don't even put tires on these cars? Not a fan of the old 10-speed wheel and tire look which seems to get more ridiculous all the time.
yea I know what you mean the more custom they are the more radical the look some I like some just to much
How if they do drive them,especially the corvettes?
highly doubt it
That Chrysler 😮 Holy shit that's a badass car.
oh yea looked mean!
Hey 👋
enjoy the show?
@@AllThingsCool good 👍
@@AllThingsCool like the cars 🚘
Yvette will win, stunning to view from the rear
@@chrisminchopoulos2811I agree

Dave was a douchebag? Why do you say that? I never talked to him so just curious
This cougar is just one of those cars that don’t get the cred.
It's become a competition of who can throw the most money at the dumbest car...😢
it is alot of money in these cars and they don't even drive them
the chrysler 300 for the win
one of my favorites also!
Did Henry J make a PU?
All the metal work on these vehicles and too many couldn't figure out how to route the air filter so it didin't look like an afterthought. 🙄 The Chrysler and Caddy were the worst.
"The Chrysler and Caddy were the worst.".............the worst of the best is still a good place to be
Only like the chysler but I would put chrome back where it belongs the corvette fastback is ok but most of the cars are over done to modern standards not my cup of tea, just my own opinion which at the end of the day don't mean shit lmao
lmao I hear ya I actually like the chrystler. I did my 65 chevy impala similiar, similiar color, color matched the bumpers, got rid of the chrome and shaved everything I like it but not everyone's the same
300 m
that thing was mean looking!
The handles and mirrors on the impala are a big no
for sure the mirrors should of just shaved it
Henry J interior is very dated..Corvair concept, is nice, shame it won't stop.. Chrome rotors..Mmm
ok. I like the Chrysler 300. Tough looking car. And has decent sidewall.. not those dumbass low profile tires.
yea the 300 does look tough love that color
zorankp
Agree the Chrysler 300 E is nice and the manuel transmission my favorite!!!
What happened to Riddler ? I wouldn't vote for any one of those
aww cmon some good builds here

Kindig Vette
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of Dave Kindig’s work (usually), but this red thing whatever it is, looks like a clown car to me. Sorry Dave. It looks like something. Batman might drive on his day off I don’t know.

maybe the craftmenship is top, but the styling and taste is not there..
The white 1956 Chevy tail lights were terrible looking.
yea I agree wasn't a fan
For such a traditionally black city, I’m having trouble even seeing one black man at this whole convention. Maybe they’re not into cars?
Beautiful job with photography. Just wish you did a commentary about the builder and specifications 🫶✌️🤔
