In episode 1 of season 3 of Iron Resurrection, titled "Thundering C10," the team at Martin Bros Customs takes on a new challenge: restoring a 1968 Chevy C10 truck. The truck has been sitting untouched for over 20 years and is in need of a complete overhaul.
Joe Martin, the owner of the shop, and his team of expert mechanics set to work on the truck's body, which is riddled with rust and dents. They carefully remove the old paint and discover that the body is in worse shape than they initially thought. Despite the challenges, the team is determined to bring the truck back to its former glory.
As they begin work on the engine, they realize that the truck's owner had done some work on it himself, which complicates the restoration. Nevertheless, they pull out all the stops to upgrade the engine, suspension, and other parts to give the truck more power and better performance.
The team also takes on some challenges with the interior, which was in dire need of a makeover. They remove the old seats and install new ones, along with new carpeting and door panels. They also add modern amenities like air conditioning and a killer sound system.
As the restoration progresses, the team begins to encounter some unexpected setbacks. They discover that the truck's frame is bent, and had to take it apart to have it straightened. They also run into some issues with paint and custom graphics, which require some creative problem-solving to overcome.
Throughout the episode, the team works tirelessly to ensure that every detail of the restoration is perfect. They're also shown wrangling with the logistics of running a successful custom auto shop, including managing a tight budget, dealing with demanding clients, and balancing their own personal lives with the demands of their work.
In the end, the team pulls off a stunning restoration that leaves the customer thrilled and the Martin Bros team proud of the work they've accomplished. As they take the newly restored truck out for a test drive, the team reflects on the challenges they faced and how they overcame them to deliver a one-of-a-kind custom vehicle that's sure to turn heads on the road.
