“It’s a pickers dream.” Velocity has announced its new series, Iron Resurrection, will premiere in April.
The series follows a group of experts who find and rebuild rundown vehicles.
Iron Resurrection premieres on April 13th at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Velocity.
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.

Best show on Velocity. As fun as car shows get. Hoping for many more episodes. Thanks for listening.
Iron resurrection and chasing classic cars are the best that velocity
on the air………
the team is super talented and compared to other velocity car shows it is by far the best. No disrespect but that junkyard show puts velour seats in a turbo porsche and vinyl wrap on a stunning white audi. How do they stay in business much less on tv? The question shouldn’t be if Iron Resurrection will be renewed but for how long.
I love this show did velocity pick it up for a 2nd season? Even my wife likes it and she hates car shows
Great show Velocity! A keeper for sure.
One of my favorites on Velocity
I enjoy watching Iron Resurrection! Enjoy watching the members scope out new vehicles to buy and then build those into beautiful wheels! It’s too bad however, that Amada has been required to hide her freckles! I’ve noticed makeup on her face now and shoulders/arms – so sad that she has to conform to a producers whim regarding freckles (sun-kissed)…I notice on HGTV’s “Good Bones” the younger woman – Mina is allowed to show her freckles!

i have an old chevy truck for sale about a 50+ model
Not sure why there always has to be haters. I like the relationships of those in the shop, Amanda is easy on the eyes in a “girl next door” way. Joe truly knows his way around a paint booth. Not all their projects are my style, but I appreciate the talent they have. There is staged drama built into everyone of the Discovery channel car/bike shows. Just seems to be their show model. I hope this show gets renewed, as it seems more “real” than most where new found fame and tv money have changed their focus and turned them… Read more »
