In Iron Resurrection season 3 episode 5 titled "Flaming '56," the team at Martin Bros Customs takes on a client with a 1956 Ford truck that has been on fire. The blackened exterior and burnt interior present a challenge for Joe Martin and his crew, but they are excited to restore this unique truck to its former glory.
Joe and his brother, Jason, start by taking the truck apart piece by piece, examining each part carefully to determine what can be salvaged and what needs to be replaced. They discover that the engine is salvageable, but the transmission and suspension will need to be completely overhauled.
The team gets to work on rebuilding the transmission and suspension while also repairing the damaged frame. They decide to keep the original blackened paint job, which becomes a unique feature of the restored truck. They also decide to add a custom air suspension system, lowering the truck and giving it a sleeker profile.
As the restoration process continues, the team encounters several obstacles, including a rusty gas tank and problems with the electrical system. But they persist, carefully restoring each component until the truck is finally roadworthy once again.
The client is thrilled with the final result, and the team takes the truck for a spin around town to show off their hard work. Along the way, they run into a few unexpected surprises, including an overheating engine and a sudden rainstorm. But with their expert knowledge and skills, they are able to overcome each obstacle and deliver a stunning finished product.
"Flaming '56" is a testament to the talents of the Martin Bros Customs team, showing their dedication and attention to detail as they restore an iconic vintage truck with a unique backstory. It's a must-see episode for fans of classic cars and expert craftsmanship alike.
