Joe Martin and his team at Martin Bros Customs outside Austin, Texas, have an incredible gift for resuscitating rides destined for the junkyard. They’re back for an all-new season of knocking off the rust and restoring the cool to cars that would otherwise be dead in the hit series IRON RESURRECTION premiering Wednesday, February 5 at 9 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV. Or fans can watch every episode one week early on the MotorTrend App, the only subscription streaming service dedicated entirely to the motoring world, beginning Wednesday, January 29.

IRON RESURRECTION takes viewers inside Martin Bros Customs where Joe Martin, his wife Amanda, his best friend Jayson “Shag” Arrington, and a team of top-notch craftsmen see cars are never truly dead. They are masters at restoring life to rusted out roadsters and torn up trucks of all makes, models, shapes and sizes.

In every episode of IRON RESURRECTION Amanda and Shag roam the Texas countryside for lackluster vehicles (or clients bring vehicles into the shop) that they can transform into masterpieces of four-wheeled metal. Amanda has an eye to spot potential deals and knows where to find the good stuff while Shag, dubbed “the fastest mouth in the south”, has the skills to haggle car or motorcycle owners for the best possible price. Once they secure a vehicle it goes back to the shop where Joe and his small but hugely talented team use their customization, fabrication, mechanical and painting skills to make Joe’s automotive vision into reality. Raising the dead is never easy, but together this Texas team of gearheads can restore any rusted pile of metal into the hottest cars in the world.

Season four of IRON RESURRECTION premieres Wednesday, February 5 at 9 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV. Or stream every episode one week early on the MotorTrend App beginning Wednesday, January 29.

“Truck Yeah”
Wednesday, February 5 at 9 PM
The Martins face a physics conundrum that would have Einstein scratching his head – trying to fit a six-foot, five-inch former football player into the cab of a 1967 Chevy C10. This tall order requires a total customization of the firewall, motor, frame and interior, plus the truck needs to be outfitted for autocross and given a custom paint job.

“C10 Again”
Wednesday, February 12 at 9 PM
With a deadline quickly approaching the shop struggles to fit a gigantic ex-NFL player into a tiny 1967 Chevy C10. This oversized job includes a customized leather interior, automated bed cover and a transformative paint job. The stakes are high, and the client's expectations are even higher.

“Tricked Out Trike”
Wednesday, February 19 at 9 PM
Joe Martin is world renowned for building badass motorcycles, but on this build he’s pushing his engineering chops to the limit by building a trike. It’s no ordinary trike as this monster machine will look right at home on the set of a “Mad Max” movie.

“Nova Overload”
Wednesday, February 26 at 9 PM
Shag and Amanda purchase a 1965 Chevy II Nova for a steal but what's the catch? As the team “de-bones” the vehicle, rat nests and rust are the least of their worries. This build requires a complete overhaul and has the team wondering if they bit off more than they can chew.

“Nova Overload – Part 2”
Wednesday, March 4 at 9 PM
It’s back to the drawing board for a 1965 Chevy II Nova after fitment issues in the engine bay leave the entire shop scratching their heads. Joe has big plans but a small space to work with. It will take a lot of ingenuity, and a little cussing, to tame this nasty Nova.

“Some Assembly Required”
Wednesday, March 11 at 9 PM
A customer wants to surprise his wife with major upgrades to her blue 1968 Corvette convertible. But the shop soon discovers the headaches of working with a fiberglass body. It's dirty, dicey work that threatens both the car and shop to crack under the pressure.

“Some Assembly Required – Part 2”
Wednesday, March 18 at 9 PM
The clock is ticking to complete a customer’s 1968 Corvette convertible, but messy fiberglass repairs uncover major collision damage. And if that wasn’t enough, the customer wants an all-white interior. A dirty job and white leather. What could possibly go wrong?

“Frozen in Time”
Wednesday, March 25 at 9 PM
A time capsule rolls into the shop in the form of a 1983 Silverado with exactly 69.2 miles on it. Sadly, the owner passed away last year, but his daughter offers the shop a shot to finish the job of turning his off-the-line truck into a modern muscle car under the hood.

“Mean Green Racing Machine”
Wednesday, April 1 at 9 PM
Amanda and Shag stumble upon a 1973 Vega with a rich history and a seller anxious to see his car restored to glory. They plan to chop the top and add a ginormous engine to create the ultimate street racer, but first they must tackle over 40 years of rust and grime.

“Mean Green Racing Machine – Part 2”
Wednesday, April 8 at 9 PM
It’s a race to the finish line for the 1973 Vega. Joe and the team are determined to transform a rusted, hornet-infested clunker into a mean, green, street racing machine. This monster-sized project promises to be the shop's most dramatic transformation to date.
