Vegas Rat Rods

The WelderUp crew transforms a '57 Chevy Wagon from a grocery grabber into one nasty ride. This Jekyll and Hyde creation aims to be badass to the eye, but comfortable enough for a weekend adventure.

A 1931 Model A Ford golden gem from another era gets the rat rod overhaul: a Cummins 4BT diesel engine, cool cowboy bling on the interior and a kick-ass paint job that would make Henry Ford blush.

A father and son team gets a badass hauler for their construction company. Steve's sons help with the build, making this rebuild of a classic '31 International Truck a family affair in more ways than one in WelderUp's new shop.

The WelderUp crew turns a Chevy C10 into a true monster with rivets, scars and a badass Cummins diesel engine.

It's Rat Rods versus Hot Rods as Steve Darnell battles the car legends of Vegas. Steve rats out a beloved 1932 Model B and turns this classic beauty into a roadworthy beast under the suspicious glare of the hot rod clan.

The crew pays tribute to the railroad that put the West on the map by building a rat rod with a train theme for a client from Telluride, Colorado. It's all about locomotives, rivets and even a train whistle for this road warrior.

The WelderUp boys build a tribute to Vegas with a Speedster for a flashy client keen on cruising the Strip. Steve hunts down rare casino memorabilia to incorporate into the build including slot machine parts and poker chips.

Steve transforms a 1955 Chevy truck into an apocalyptic vision of fire. Built for a demolitions expert, Steve wanted this pickup to reflect his client's profession so it looks like it just emerged from hell, burned out.

Take one beat up sandrail, add a 1920s body, mix it up with Steve's creativity and you get a road warrior sprung from the desert. Then, for the first time in the shop, the crew installs an alcohol-fueled engine.

The famous D-Rod is reborn as The Destroyer when Steve and crew give their iconic rat rod a badly needed makeover. Steve gets nostalgic as he rebuilds his D-Rod with more torque and turbo just in time for the 4th of July race.
