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?
They absolutely suck as builders.. Lies and TV voodoo. All I have to say is look at the rubber Gap on the trucks front windshield where it says for sale. That f****** truck did not sell there’s no way it was junk you can only shine a **** so much. I just don’t appreciate TV people trying to fake TV viewers out it’s not right we paid too much for cable
You have just insulted one of the most talented painters in the automotive industry l worked with Shorty at Sewell back in the day. He is the real deal By the way if you’re such an expert how showing everyone what you can do
I love your show because I have a 64 sport fury and I am the second owner of this car after it rolled out of the factory I have had this car from high school to now and gave it to my son who was in the Air Force who is a Disable Vet today if I had the money to resurrect this car for him I would and I watch your show all the time saying if I could I would love to bring this car back to life. you guys are the bomb in this field. live in… Read more »
Love to watch the show and how you resurrect those old cars but can not look at the finished product and how you destroy the looks of those great old cars by making them so low. They look terrible to me – glad you can find buyers that will appreciate that look.
Joe Martin I think that you are a genius, I’m with your wa African American 49 year old man that has always put everyone before me and would love to meet and learn Bile Building from you, I know with your guidance we could tap into a market that’s worth millions.
Met Joe and Amanda at Back to the Fifties in Minneapolis.. So Personable and friendly ! A Pleasue…
Great show. Keep it up!!
Wii there be another season
I truly enjoy this show. I really appreciate how they focus on their bonds and teamwork to show what it takes to bring their concepts into absolute art!!! There’s no bogus drama in the background and they all appear to have a great amount of genuine respect for each other. Whether the timeline is true or not for completing their projects, it doesn’t matter because they do an amazing job.
Thank heavens that they gave a show now with a knowledgeable WOMAN that is truly enthusiastic about cars out there!!!! You ROCK Amanda!!!
Fantastic show ! Best of the auto resto shows period. Their talent and overall chemistry makes me wish I worked with em’ … And yes , Amanda is easy on the eyes too, very sweet!
Now one of my favorites on Velocity
I love this show. It needs more than 6 episodes. Keep it rollin.
I like the show but is it Joe and Amanda’s business or shag and Amanda since we see them two together more than Joe. Love the work but it seems kinda weird to see them two together than Joe.
Well, it’s got to be tough to pick and build at the same time. Amanda is the one that has to look at the diamond in the rough and know what parts she needs to source in. It appears that Shag has to keep an eye on the market to see what’s needed and moving. This seems like one of the most realistic shows yet in that respect. It appears that, because they are such a good team, there is a great understanding on the picker’s part what the shop can do when they are scoping out projects. The vibe… Read more »
Love the new show. They are not constantly swearing and talking about deadliness. Great show!!!
A staged accident in every episode…added for drama?….stupid
