Iron Resurrection

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. The twist: Joe paints the new truck to look old.

The crew is welding, grinding and hammering 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 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. Then, a '67 Chevelle returns for a supercharger engine.

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.

The crew checks another iconic car off their bucket list when they transform an iconic '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.

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 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.

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 from the dead. The ultimate Iron Resurrection will put Joe's exceptional metal skills to the test.

In this corner, weighing in at only 2,400 pounds, the 1965 Ford Falcon! For a former professional wrestler, there isn't a better 50th birthday present than restoring this cult classic. For that, he puts his trust in Joe Martin and his world-class team.

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