In the first episode of Season 2 of Bitchin' Rides, titled "Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes," car enthusiast Dave Kindig and his team at Kindig It Design are back to work on another challenging car build. This time, they take on a 1949 Cadillac Coupe De Ville that's in desperate need of a transformation.
The car's new owner, Eric, wants a sleek, modern-looking Cadillac that stands out in a sea of classic cars. But that's easier said than done, especially with a car that's over 70 years old. The team at Kindig It Design will have to strip down the car completely and rebuild it from the ground up to achieve Eric's dream.
The episode opens with Dave and his crew inspecting the car for the first time. The Cadillac is in rough shape, with a rusty body and a dated interior. But Dave is determined to turn this car into a showstopper, and he's excited to get started.
The first step is to strip the car down to its bare bones. The team removes the engine, transmission, and all of the interior components. They even take apart the roof to see what kind of shape it's in. As they work, they discover more and more issues with the car. Rust and corrosion are pervasive, and some of the original parts are beyond repair. But Dave and his team are undaunted by these challenges. They take each problem in stride and come up with creative solutions to fix them.
One of the most exciting parts of the episode is when the team chooses a new color for the car. Eric wants a bold, eye-catching color, and Dave suggests a bright orange with silver accents. The team takes a spray can of paint and tests it out on a small patch of the car. When they see how vibrant the color is, everyone agrees that it's the perfect choice.
The rest of the episode shows the team working tirelessly to rebuild the car. They install a modern suspension system, upgrade the brakes, and add new wheels. Inside, they create a custom dashboard and center console, and reupholster the seats in a sleek, black leather. They even install a modern sound system and custom lighting throughout the car.
Throughout the episode, Dave and his team work closely with Eric to make sure they're creating the car of his dreams. Eric is thrilled with the progress they're making and can't wait to see the finished product. At one point, he even stops by the shop with his daughter to check out the car in person.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the car still unfinished. But viewers can see that it's well on its way to becoming the stunning Cadillac that Eric had envisioned. Overall, "Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes" is an exciting start to Season 2 of Bitchin' Rides. It shows the dedication, talent, and creativity of the Kindig It Design team as they tackle a challenging car build. Fans of classic cars and custom builds won't want to miss this episode.
