Full Episode Order Below (All Times ET/PT)

"Grim Reaper" World Premiere Tuesday, July 11 at 10 PM Martin Bros Customs can't wait to transform an old 1970 Chevy C10 truck into a powerful autocross hot rod. The build looks promising when Shag and Amanda track down a wicked 700 horsepower supercharged engine with more bite than a Texas rattlesnake. However, they find themselves desperate and empty handed after an extensive search for a sturdy cab. It's crunch time and Joe and the team may just have to rebuild from frame to fender. Out of options they struggle to resurrect this rusted wreck to powerhouse pick-up.

"Suicide '35" World Premiere Tuesday, July 18 at 10 PM The era of the Great Depression has just rolled into the shop in the form of a 1935 Chevy Master. Made famous by the gangsters of its time, the Master features a distinctive grill, wood interior and suicide doors. Cool doesn't begin to describe this car. But at 82 years old - it's going to take an awful lot of Martin Bros magic to resurrect this relic.

"Super Low Metro" World Premiere Tuesday, July 18 at 10 PM Known for their killer cool paint jobs, Martin Bros Customs flips this build on its head. A weather beaten 1959 Metro rolls into the shop for an extreme makeover from the inside out. The team puts on a new frame, custom interior, high powered LS 5.3-liter engine, specialty wheels and a lavish air suspension system that can kiss the ground. It's the Flintstones meets the Jetsons with a surprise twist for its new owner.

"62 Corvette Fuelie" World Premiere Tuesday, August 1 at 10 PM Martin Bros Customs gets to work their magic on a rare, early American-made, 360 horsepower, fuel-injected classic - a 1962 Chevy Corvette. The customer wants his muscle car restored to original factory condition including a new paint job. With costs on the climb the Corvette's weathered body and antique power plant threaten to kick this build straight to the curb.

"Silver Stallion" World Premiere Tuesday, August 8 at 10 PM Martin Bros Customs' latest client loves her trucks, particularly the 1950 Chevy. The plan: find an antique body, fit it on a brand-new frame and running gear, and give it the latest power plant on the market. But with a list of customizations the size of Texas, this build is going to test Joe Martin's mechanical genius. If he wants to turn this vintage truck into a modern high performance vehicle, Joe and his crew must pull off the impossible.

"Good to Go GTO" World Premiere Tuesday, August 15 at 10 PM One of the kings of classic American muscle is the Pontiac GTO. Known for its sizzling performance and smooth body style this is one of the fastest cars of its time. Joe Martin gets his hands on an old 1969 and gives it his signature twist; low slung with lots of stylish body mods and a new power train that will have those super wide tires smoking hot.

"Smoking Hot Ghia" World Premiere Tuesday, August 22 at 10 PM Volkswagen's Karmann Ghia doesn't make enthusiasts think classic Americana, but when Amanda stumbles across a 1971 model she throws down the gauntlet to her husband Joe. The team digs in, changes its stance, ramps up the horse-power and gives it a killer paint job. Along the way they uncover a pile of problems that could stop them from making any money on this job.

"Power Infused Impala" World Premiere Tuesday, August 29 at 10 PM Joe Martin can hardly believe his luck when he finds a pristine 1962 Impala owned by a customer who wants to cut it up, strip it back, stiffen up the ride and add more horses than a Texas ranch. It's a classic Martin Bros Customs custom job, but everything comes to a crashing halt when budget issues threaten to leave this Impala job in limbo.

"Champagne Super Nova" World Premiere Tuesday, September 4 at 10 PM Joe Martin gets his hands on a sweet 1967 Chevy Nova and the crew has some modifications in store including independent front suspension, narrowed rear-end, a fuel injection system, and finished off with a brand new lavish interior and custom paint job. All this work comes at a cost. Shag and Amanda need to find a buyer with deep pockets fast.

"Cat-Eye Cruiser" World Premiere Tuesday, September 11 at 10 PM When a customer turns up at Martin Bros Customs with a 1959 Chevy Impala it looks more like a parts donor than a serious project. But Joe can't turn down a car with this classic style and comes up with a rad plan; take the body off, add a new suspension, add a new motor, install a new transmission and disc brakes, and top it off with a cherry paint job. This is just the kind of project Joe and the crew live for but it's going to require a pile of parts and some serious love.
