Short summary

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, 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. Part pickers, part wheeler dealers and part custom fabrication, each episode 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...

    Finally! A car show that is low drama! Joe and the gang are great friends, and it shows. Additionally, they are serious car guys! I have been to their shop in South TX (prior to shows) and know them to be a genuine car crew that loves what they do. This is my fav car show on TV period! Keep it up! This one's a true winner!

    I've been watching auto shows my whole life and this is one of the best. They show you how much was paid for the subject car, all the work is detailed, and the final price is shown. Not some Chasing Classic Cars plot were everything is protected so Wayne can maximize profit at his F40 used car lot. Wayne's show is too formulaic. Plus, at Iron Resurrection, all the guys (and Amanda) get along so well, no childish bickering. They genuinely have fun together. Bitchin Rides is a pretty good show as well.

    It's a keeper in my book, love the show and hope the company keeps them for another year!

    The various builds from cars, motorcycles to boats, makes this and all around show.

    The quality of the work is above most and it has a good company line of personnel.

    It also keeps me wanting to see more builds, I don't care what it is. Also there is no hollering, cussing, smack talking about the people working. As I cannot stand a show with some kind of controversy all the time.

    I really can't believe how you guys can take ANYTHING and make it perfect! You're not scared to build a frame or any part of a car. The talent in your shop is second to NONE! Turning a piece of metal into anything you need, coming up with paint colors that aren't seen anywhere else. There is no area where you are lacking, and your show is made complete with Amanda, Shag, Mike and Pompa! I think Joe's got more talent in his little finger than anybody else in the business, and Shorty is "all that" as well! All I can say is Bravo!!!

    If I was having a Car restored my first choice would be Martin brothers, they do fantastic work I love the show , I watch all of the auto restoration shows and without a doubt this is the best with some of the best hidden talent I have ever seen some of the things they by hand is absolutely amazing, Joe Martin is probably the most talented man I have sen overall I don't think there isn't much he can't do wh n it comes to automotive restoration.

    I watch Iron Resurrection every time it comes on, even if I've seen it before. It is without a doubt the best build show on TV in my opinion. They cut up and carry on like most shops I've been in in my life, and there's no made up drama for effect on the show. Unlike so many others on TV today. I love to watch shorty and the paint he comes up with is awesome, and the way he explains the in's and out's of the body and prep work he does before spraying I find very interesting. Of course that may be because I've never done any body work on a car I owned. I also like the designs that Martin comes up with is more to my liking. He doesn't go too far, just far enough to make the beast look as good as it runs. I certainly hope this show stays on for a long time, I really enjoy it. Tim Allen, Tn.

    Love this show and the guys working with Joe, Mike and Shorty. Could do with a little less Shag and Amanda but overall love the builds. Just watched the build on the 50 Chevy truck and they did it like something I would pay for and drive. One has to hope this show is on for more than two years.

    This is one of the very best car / bike shows on the air today. The skills required to do some of the work takes years and years of practice.

    The show keeps getting better and better as they go along. I am also very happy to see that Shag has got most of the barbecue sauce out of his beard, I am sure it won't be long before its all gone and his beard is all white.

    Your program comes across like a family program. the cast is lovable.each and everyone is like people we know in real life. I'm sure there are a lot of car lovers out there that wish they could just pack up and go work in the shop, for free just to have the reward of bringing a car back to life. Keep on trucking .

    This build show has what I call "It" A team with passion, extraordinary talent, the drive of perfection in every build no matter if it rolls or floats. The team is always positive, excited, looks forward to their next build and they deliver it to their audience in a relaxed, genuine and some what comical way. I've watched build shows for a number of years and I have never enjoyed a show more that Iron Resurrection. This show makes you feel as if your right there in the shop with the guys. The dedication to perfection Joe reflects keeps you drawn to every episode. Not only Joe, but all the team, who make up this talented and dedicated group of craftsman. If I every have the opportunity to have a car of my desire built, it will be built by these guys. I suppose I'll have to take a number and stand in line with the 100's of others, but when my turn comes up, I know my project car will be built to perfection. Thank You Martin Brothers for this show. You guys and Amanda have figured out what we want and present it with that genuine and professional touch like no other. Hey Joe, buy Shorty his paint shaker, he deserves it.

    The skills of the people are clearly obvious; they are excellent at what they do.

    I just wonder why this show and one or two others on Velocity have to reinforce the stereotypes that are associated with people from this part of the country and why they have to speak like uneducated idiots when it is obvious that they are not only skilled but wise and intelligent business people?

    I suppose the producers of these shows believe that they will only be popular if their supposed audience can "relate" to people who sound as juvenile and ridiculous as they pretend to. I am not referring to their natural/sometimes slightly exaggerated accents, only the scripts written for them to add "drama" or whatever to the show. I realize this is sold as entertainment, but I think they are turning off many viewers with this misguided approach.

    These are successful and creative professionals; write scripts that focus on the amazing work they do and give us a break from the down-home, folksy childishness.

    I love this show. The one thing you don't here is Bleep, Bleep, Bleep. Please tape some more shows and give us something to watch that is also nice to listen to. This crew gets along well with each other and that's how you get the job done. The workmanship here is great I would like to see them build a rat rod. It's nice to see a show that will teach you some tricks of the trade, (heating to install a ball joint). It's little things that kids can learn on TV that will come in handy later in life. Show us some more please. My wife will watch this show because it is a nice show to watch. She says that the only thing I watch is "Cussin' and Killin" shows. Some folks have no taste when it comes to entertainment.

    A pleasure to watch - a proper team of people who enjoy what they do and are skilled at doing it. No fake rows or ridiculously short timescales so the work is done properly and explained in detail. Except for the Jay Leno show I would rate this the best car show on TV if you are into classic cars/restoration. Other TV shows, on both sides of the Atlantic, have a lot to learn from this and I guess it must deliver a good audience for advertisers.

    With all the cars shows saturating TV, it's nice to watch a show without outlandish gimmicks or cast members trying to pretend to be something they're not. Joe has amazing vision, his crew is talented, and the projects they turn out are tastefully done. And as a woman in the automotive industry myself, I'm happy to see his wife Amanda involved. Overall good show. Love watching the bloopers and outtakes.

    I'm a long time fan of Joe Martin and remember when he and his brother did the bike shows also. I love the no nonsense builds and the great camaraderie of the crew. All of the crew are likeable people and I get a kick out of their kidding each other. Joe builds some outstanding rides! Beautiful work and wicked paint jobs by "Short Dog". This show is always enjoyable to watch and I look forward to seeing the finished car. There is no drama, no arguing...no BS...just a cool bunch of talented people building some real nice cars. What I enjoy most about the show is, they actually show a lot of the build process. Unlike other shows that edit that all out in favor of arguing or drama. Joe has such a laid back personality too....he's just a likeable guy with a ton of talent. I even like when Amanda and Shag go hunting for parts. Even as mundane as that may seem, their humor keeps it interesting and they always score the parts Joe needs for the build. Way better than the sillyness of Overhaulin.
