Iron Resurrection

Facing deadline, the shop struggles to fit a gigantic ex-NFL player into a tiny 1967 Chevy C10 that includes a customized leather interior and automated bed cover.

A time capsule rolls into the shop in the form of a 1983 Silverado with exactly 69.2 miles on it; the owner recently passed away, and his daughter wants to finish turning his truck into a modern muscle car under the hood.

Shag and Amanda get a '65 Chevy II Nova for a steal, but as the team digs in, rat nests and rust are the least of their worries; the build requires a complete overhaul and has them thinking they bit off more than they can chew.

Fitment issues in the engine bay leave the entire shop scratching their heads; Joe has big plans for the '65 Nova, but a small space to work with.

Amanda and Shag stumble upon a '73 Vega with a rich history and a seller anxious to see his car restored to glory; they plan to chop the top and add a enormous engine, but first they must tackle over 40 years of rust and grime.

Joe Martin brings new life to old iron at his shop Joe Martin Customs; working with his wife Amanda, and best friend Shag, this custom shop oversees every phase of restoration from design, fabrication and mechanicals, to the final paint job.

A customer wants to surprise his wife with major upgrades to her '68 Corvette convertible, but working with the fiberglass body soon brings on headaches that threaten both the car and the shop to crack under the pressure.

The clock is ticking to complete a 1968 Corvette convertible, but messy fiberglass repairs uncover major collision damage; and if that wasn't enough, the customer also wants an all-white interior, which isn't a good fit for such a dirty job.

Joe is pushing his engineering chops to the limit by building a monster trike that would look right at home on the set of a ``Mad Max`` movie.

The Martins face the challenge of trying to fit a 6'5`` former football player into the cab of a 1967 Chevy C10, requiring customization of the firewall, motor, frame and interior.

The crew welds, grinds and hammers the frame and chassis of the barn-find '56 Ford truck; Joe uses all his tricks to make it look like it has been parked in a field for more than 50 years, but drive like a modern muscle machine.

The crew checks another car off their bucket list when they transform a '70 Chevelle into a drag car; they make it mean with a monster motor, big tires, trick frame and a roll cage; but Joe dreams up a chopped roof at the 11th hour.

The crew sinks their teeth into a legendary '77 Bandit Trans Am; a car of this stature calls for a big motor, meaty tires, low stance, steel spoilers, killer paint job and a brand-new interior; a '67 Chevelle returns for a supercharger engine.

A 1956 Ford truck has been sitting in a barn for more than 30 years; Joe and his crew fab up a hand-built custom frame, drop in a big power plant and make the interior smell like new leather.

It's open-car surgery as Joe and the team work to realize his dream of a cold-blooded '70 Chevelle race car with a chopped roof; complications with the modified roof arise when the big-block monster motor obstructs driver visibility.

Joe is deep into the rebuild of a '77 Bandit Trans Am; the car has a new frame, updated suspension and a new LS motor, but the T-Top is totally janky; it needs strengthening before this classic muscle car can get roaring down the road again.

A former customer returns to the shop with a new project, a 1950 5-window Chevy truck; this isn't just any car in his collection, it's the crown jewel; to Joe's horror, this prized possession might have some seriously unsalvageable damage.

Three years after a unicorn first rolled into the shop, Joe is more determined than ever to honor a 1936 Hudson owner's dying wishes to bring the car back to life; the ultimate Iron Resurrection will put Joe's exceptional metal skills to the test.

Joe stumbles across a '64 Ford Galaxie in great shape with only 60,000 miles on it; for Joe, it isn't enough to restore it to 1964, which means a trick frame with all-new steering, tires and a Coyote engine that will really make the car blast off.

For a former professional wrestler, there isn't a better 50th birthday present than restoring a cult-classic 1965 Ford Falcon.
