Can you
The Tribute '32 earned rave reviews, but
the best moment happened at the Hot Rod
industry Alliance banquet. With his crew
and wife looking on, dave won the 2012
Goodguys Trendsetter Award. This
prestigious recognition marked him as a
rising talent in the hot rod realm where
previous winners include some of the
scene's greatest legends. "it was one of
the biggest honors ever to happen to
me," dave said.
it was an honor a lifetime in the
making. dave started drawing
cars at age five and just never
stopped. As a rep for a high
performance coatings supplier,
dave interacted with top-tier
even though top-notch customs from
Kindig-it design have been showcased at
SeMA for the last eight years, the 2012
show promised to be a very special
occasion for one simple reason—the debut
of their Tribute '32 Giveaway Car.
dave Kindig, owner and driving force
behind the Salt Lake City shop, had been
commissioned to create a real world
version of the original Gary Meadors
deuce tudor, the beloved cartoon car in the
Goodguys logo. This "hiboy" build will be
on display at most Goodguys events until
given away at the 2014 PPG Nationals in
Columbus, Ohio.
Yes, we can.
