The Kindig Academy at Lincoln Tech

Imagine learning guitar at the Eddie Van Halen Academy. Or taking a filmmaking course at the Tarantino Institute. Or getting accepted at the Richard Petty Institute of Stock Car Racing. In the amazing world of custom vehicle builds and RestoMods, that’s training at the Kindig Academy.

Dave Kindig has transformed the vehicle restoration world with bold, standout designs for rides that are eye-catching, heart-stopping, and game changing. And now you can learn his trade secrets and skills at Lincoln Tech, home of the new Kindig Academy in Denver, Colorado.

Kindig is a leading name in the custom car design and fabrication industry. The Kindig Academy at Lincoln Tech is the first of its kind anywhere in the country: a chance to learn master skills through a curriculum developed by a true master. Dave Kindig wants to share his vision, drive and artistic passion with the world’s next class of high-caliber RestoMod pros.

You could be one of them.

These specialized courses aren’t “bang out dents and replace panels” shop classes. Take your design and fabrication skills to the next level: apply for the  Kindig Academy at Lincoln Tech. It’s the only place you’ll find this kind of hands-on training and experience!

ABOUT LINCOLN TECH

For 75 years, Lincoln Tech has been a national leader in specialized technical training. The first campus opened in Newark, New Jersey in 1946 to provide hands-on training to veterans returning home from World War II. Since then hundreds of thousands of graduates nationwide have launched careers that keep the American economy growing while providing stable incomes for the families our grads support. Students and hiring managers alike turn to Lincoln Tech because of a reputation built over those 75 years. In the Auto industry, Lincoln Tech’s name is synonymous with exceptional skills training not only in Automotive Technology, but in auto body repair, refinishing and restoration – the foundational skills of a career in custom car design and fabrication. Employers know and trust the Lincoln name, because we’ve had a national presence longer than just about anybody. The Denver campus – home of the Kindig Academy at Lincoln Tech – has been a cornerstone of the Mile High City’s education community since 1960. Combining the Lincoln Tech tradition with Dave Kindig’s vision, this academy promises next-level education for a career field with plenty of opportunities!
