“It’s a pickers dream.” Velocity has announced its new series, Iron Resurrection, will premiere in April.

Watch a preview and read the full details below:
(Silver Spring, Md.) – No matter the type – busted bikes or rusted out roadsters – every vehicle deserves a second chance to shine. Outside Austin, Texas mechanical master Joe Martin (the winner of Discovery Channel’s “Biker Build-Off”), his wife Amanda, his best friend Jayson “Shag” Arrington and their team at Martin Bros Customs are breathing life back into vehicles of all kinds, shapes and sizes on the Velocity original series IRON RESURRECTION, world premiering on Wednesday, April 13 at 10 PM ET/PT.
Part pickers, part WHEELER DEALERS and part custom fabrication, each episode of IRON RESURRECTION finds Shag and Amanda scouring the Texas countryside for hidden, unpolished mechanical gems to bring back to the shop for Joe and his crew. Amanda, the beauty and brains of Martin Bros Customs, keeps the jobs rolling out and the dollars rolling in with her uncanny knowledge of every backwoods shed and car lot in the state. While Shag, dubbed “the fastest mouth in the south,” uses his gift for gab and marketing skills to get the best deals possible.
Then it’s back to Martin Bros Customs where Joe’s small but mighty team of Shorty, Mike, Jason, Manny and Pompa work metal magic on Shag and Amanda’s finds in order to turn Joe’s vision for the unpolished gems into shiny, hot rod reality. In the end Shag works his magic with a new buyer to get the highest price for the revived Martin Bros Customs creation. Raising the dead is never easy, but together this Texas team of gearheads can restore any rusted pile of metal into the hottest cars and craziest choppers in the world.
IRON RESURRECTION airs Wednesdays at 10 PM ET/PT beginning Wednesday, April 13 only on Velocity.
Full Episode Order Below (All Times ET/PT)
“Texas Two Step” World Premiere Wednesday, April 13 at 10 PM Shag and Amanda return from the road with a classic 1962 Chevy Stepside truck that Joe plans on transforming into an ultra-cool, ground hugging Fleetside. The team at Martin Bros Customs wrestles with Joe’s vision for the truck as they resurrect it into a show-stopping, eye-popping piece of drivable art for an upcoming car show.
“Lonestar Lincoln” World Premiere Wednesday, April 20 at 10 PM An old family friend helps Shag and Amanda bring home a 1964 Lincoln Continental, one of Joe’s favorite cars, without breaking the bank. With one of the most popular show and shines in the state of Texas on the horizon, Joe and the team work hard to take the rusted wreck from shabby to a shiny new four-wheeled pearl.
“Shaggin’ Wagon” World Premiere Wednesday, April 27 at 10 PM West Coast cool becomes the theme when Shag and Amanda stumble upon an exceptional find – a 1953 Ford Ranch Wagon. Joe automatically has visions of a bad-ass California style beach cruiser for the Wagon. That means the team at Martin Bros Customs must set the stance low and create a fantastic, head turning exterior.
“Barbecued Bird” World Premiere Wednesday, May 4 at 10 PM Joe and his team get the chance to refurbish a 1973 Pontiac Firebird that’s been damaged by fire. This build requires resourcefulness as the guys start from the ground up ditching many of the original parts for all new Martin Bros Customs modifications including a custom roll cage and a new rear spoiler built from scratch. Like a phoenix from the ashes, this burnt bird is getting an all-out restoration so it can fly once again.
“Hardcore Softail” World Premiere Wednesday, May 11 at 10 PM It’s a walk down memory lane when Joe ditches four wheeled machines in favor of his first love – a souped-up Softail(R) motorcycle. He works with the guys to build it from the ground up, complete with a custom fuel tank, exhaust system and frame. Meanwhile Shag and Amanda are on the road, having fun hunting for parts for a moneymaker milk truck build.
“Triple Black Cadillac” World Premiere Wednesday, May 18 at 10 PM Shag and Amanda trek through Texas to find a build worthy of the Martin Brothers’ touch. They bring back a busted 1964 Cadillac De Ville that Joe helps into a big-bodied beauty of a convertible. After, Joe and his brother head to the marina in search of a boat to flip for some quick cash. But trouble with the boat’s engine and a ton of hidden rust on the De Ville could spell trouble for the crew.

What do you think? Are you a fan of rebuilding cars? Will you watch Iron Resurrection?
The Finale…none too soon! All the same, put the car on air bags. Have it fall off the jack. Say “man” nine times per sentence. Of course it must be done in two weeks. Then there is the token blonde and the goofy guy. All in all just another crappy reality show, garbage!
The token blonde and the guy with the billy goat beard…. Loose both of them and focus more on the cars. The show needs a lot of improvement.
Ouch. I’ve met many people in many places that repeat words or phrases like surfers or Californians—Southerners say “ya’ll” a lot. If that is frustrating or seems excessive, mute the show. From what I have seen, they work really hard together to make the best project with a deadline or not. I never got the impression that they were doing certified restoration. Everyone is dropping air into their rides now. It’s not my preference, but I can’t help but be impressed with seeing them fab metal and customize these neglected vehicles. Having worked in a shop, we know for a… Read more »
Great show,I watch every Week.Joe I see you have a 60 chevy on the rack, looks great ,would you trade for a 31 ford ? You can see it in Hemmings it is green I invested over $80 thousands now I need a bigger car I can get into,I would not sell it but I have trouble with my legs,so I need a bigger car, I like your 60chevy.
Awesome show. My favorite on velocity. Makes me want to get out in the garage and wrench.
You have a fantastic show! Fantastic projects with a fantastic cast! Enjoy the ride eh. No pun intended 🙂 Kevin from Ontario, Canada
Wondering if you could do some work on my truck?
Hey Amanda, do us all a favor and don’t use the same dumb Richard Rawlings sayings like, “Get you some of that”. It already sounds stupid when he says it over and over, that’s one of the reasons i don’t watch that show, his simple arrogance.
Terrible show! Sloppy work, just another typical “reality show”. They rave about getting a beloved Continental back, so important to the family. Then they cut it up, bag it and sell it! So much for their love for the car! By the way the work that was needed on that car could not have been completed in a week. Cancel the show…Thanks
True you guys have 4 or 5 shows that are good the rest are all the same bad.
Amen, Rich. Another show with trashy Texans ruining classic cars was just what television didn’t need.
It’s not that I don’t like the colors but every car I saw in this episode in the background or that you were working on even the motorcycle they all had the same two-tone colors I’m just curious if that’s your signature paint job or if you do other custom work?
Hey guys I love the show and I love your work I’m just wondering do you ever use any other colors besides that orange and white?
I just watched the first show and won’t watch it again, the 62 Chevrolet truck was a 50′ truck None of the panels lined up, the rubber window gasket was kinked, all it was was a paint job. Note to the editors, everything was out of sequence and get someone with knowledge of building vehicles as a technical advisor. The show is to staged and I would never take my car or truck to them with tools and know how I know I could do some things better or find someone to do it better This show is a flop… Read more »
Hacks ,they left the front bed panel unpainted. They didnt even align the doors right. I have more talent in my left n*t than this crew. They kept saying it was a brand new crate engine, yeah right
The show is awful. Just fake drama. The filming is all out of sequence. At first you see the engine out, a minute late it’s back in, a minute later its back out, etc etc. Also they need to hire some producers who actually know about cars. Being a gearhead and owning my own shop, I hate seeing shows where situations are fake or fabricated. Don’t they realize guys who work on cars watch these shows…Duh. DirtyDonny’s Garage.
they only won a biker build off against the best in the business. the metal fabrication is second to none. say when was the last time you actually fabricated a product? Don’t bother telling us where big bad nasty dirty donny’s garage was because i’m sure your working for someone else by now. Loooser!!
Do you accept proposal cars to restore.
My son has a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV Lipstick Edition. He loves the car. It is in decent condition but he can’t afford to restore it like he want’s.
He is in a band and would love to have the car restored to save the nostalgic ride properly!
If you accept nominations, I will submit this entry for your consideration.
Best regards,
Bill Trotter
How do these people get to do these shows? I mean, these guys on iron resurrection seems to be great guys, the vehicles shown on show are decent looking, but I’ve do cars outta my home shop that turn out nice with nice candy paint that I picked up from the yard cross town after it sit for 20 years, and so do many others. What makes it so special ta get a tv show. So far I don’t see anything cutting edge that warrants a tv show. The Chevy truck, and others shown on the first episode, ya see… Read more »
Can you tell me how I could get my husbands car on the show? He has a 1930 Ford model a day he has taken apart and is putting back together with the blue black and a blower motor and we found out that he has a limited time to live. He has a disease called rare lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and they have given him a 50% chance to live longer than five years and we found out last May . He has a lot of his parts his engines a lot of things but since I’m… Read more »
I personally know the crew and the talents they all have are truly amazing. There are no egos, just great people that were lucky to find each other and do what they love. The work hard play fare and all have an amazing friendship. The end result of whatever they are building is second to none. The M team is a true talent.
It must be great to see them in action!!! Thank you for endorsing them!! 🙂
