Ep 8. Resurrectin' A Rusty Unicorn: 1936 Hudson Terraplane

In season 5 episode 8 of Iron Resurrection, the crew at Martin Bros Customs takes on the restoration of a 1936 Hudson Terraplane, lovingly nicknamed the "Rusty Unicorn" due to its unique condition. The car, which has been sitting in a field for decades, is completely rusted out and has a tree growing through the engine compartment.

Joe Martin, Jayson "Shag" Arrington, Mike "Shorty" Short, and the team take on the challenge of bringing the "Rusty Unicorn" back to life. Their first step is to remove all of the rust and assess the damage to the body. The team quickly discovers that the car needs extensive metalwork, including a new floor, firewall, and roof.

As they begin to work on the car, they encounter unexpected challenges. They discover that the car's engine is seized, meaning that they will need to completely rebuild it. They also find that the car's steering column is missing, requiring them to search for a replacement column.

Despite these obstacles, the team stays determined to resurrect the "Rusty Unicorn". Using their skills and expertise, they fabricate new metal pieces for the body and rebuild the engine, all while staying true to the car's original design.

As the restoration progresses, the team also works on some custom touches, including a new interior and a special paint job. They also install air conditioning and power windows, bringing the car into the modern era while still maintaining its vintage charm.

Throughout the episode, the team faces setbacks and challenges, but they persist with their mission to bring the "Rusty Unicorn" back to life. At the end of the episode, the car is revealed in all its glory, fully restored and looking better than ever. With their expertise and dedication, the Martin Bros team proves that anything is possible with a little bit of hard work and a lot of love for cars.
