Dave Kindig to Host Design Sessions at MasterTech Expo

MasterTech Expo reveals Dave Kindig will take the stage to unveil the secrets behind his 2024 Ridler-winning design “TwelveAir” during MasterTech Expo 2025, set for March 20-23, 2025, at the Mesa Convention Center in Mesa, Arizona. The session will be open to all MTE attendees and exhibitors.

“Get ready for an unforgettable experience at MasterTech Expo 2025 as attendees will witness a master at work as Dave walks you through his creative process, step-by-step,” explains Bryan Schmitt, MasterTech founder/CEO/president. “With live cameras capturing every detail and his sketches displayed on overhead screens, you’ll feel like you’re part of the action.”

Dave Kindig is the founder and designer of Kindig It Design, a custom car fabrication shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kindig It Design reimagines vehicles with full body transformative capability that starts with pencil and paper under Kindig’s hand. The shop is also the subject of the Motortrend TV show Bitchin’ Rides, which chronicles the design, build and delivery of some of the world’s most creative cars and trucks.

During MasterTech Expo, Kindig will take the audience through design elements, providing thought processes, tips, and techniques that are typically valued as a designer’s trade secrets. In addition, Kindig will talk the audience through a series of live designs, with cameras displaying his work on overhead screens. The session is scheduled to take place on Mar. 22, separate from class and exhibit times and open to all attendees and exhibitors.

“With MasterTech Expo, we are committed to embracing the entire automotive aftermarket community,” added Schmitt. “We were thrilled to find that Dave is aligned with our vision and is excited to join us at MasterTech Expo once again and share his knowledge with other professionals.”
