Iron Resurrection

It takes a lot to faze Joe Martin, but when his next job pulls into MSB it looks more like a truck load of spare parts than a 1970 C10. Joe knows exactly what he wants to do. New frame, running gear, and a super charged LSA engine!

Gary Hopper, a longtime friend of Joe, brings a '55 Chevy Bel Air to the shop. Because this '55 has sentimental value to Gary's family, the pressure is on to do this build right. But missing pieces and a dented hood throw a wrench into the job.

Joe Martin can't believe his eyes. It's a straight '63 Impala with a four speed and legendary 409 engine under the hood. The owner wants to keep it original with the main mods under the body, new frame, suspension and big wheels.

Shane, a new customer, comes into the shop with an exceptional '63 Cadillac. The car screams luxury but needs an upgrade. With Shane giving the team creative freedom on the build, Joe gets to work on a plan for a new engine, new interior and more.

Return customer Lee comes to Martin Bros with a real gem, a 1956 Chevy Bel Air with a flame paint job. This was Lee's first car and he wants to bring it back to life.

Joe loves to push limits. When a customer rolls into the shop with a 1950 Mercury Coupe, Joe wants to do a high-risk custom refit that could destroy this classic.

With the 1950 Mercury successfully chopped, the rest of the work can begin. The team goes into surgery to marry the old roof with the new geometry of the body.

Joe sees some unusual cars, but when a customer arrives with a '63 Rambler wagon and says do whatever you want, Joe decides to go to town with a radical custom job.

Joe loves Novas, so his eyes light up when a new customer, Eric, wants him to customize a 1972 Nova as a tribute to his brother - if they can find one.

Joe's latest build, a '71 Nova, is well behind schedule and there's still a lot of work to do. Can he finish the metal work, inside and out, in time?
