ToyMakerz is an exciting reality-based TV show that features the ins and outs of the custom vehicle-building industry. It first premiered on Velocity, a popular cable network that caters to automotive enthusiasts in 2016. The show stars Tim Friedlander, the founder and owner of Attitude-Rocker, a well-known custom automotive shop located in Reidsville, North Carolina. Friedlander has been in the business of building and designing custom vehicles for over two decades, and he has gained a reputation as a skilled craftsman in the industry.

David Ankin is the co-host and brains behind the physical building of the vehicles of the show. Ankin’s passion for designing and building custom vehicles runs as deep as his fascination for physics, space, and science. Ankin’s efforts in building the cars and motorcycles seen on the show set the foundation from which the rest of the team can work.

Ashley Robertson is also part of the team. As the daughter of a NASCAR driver, Robertson grew up around automobiles and has always had a passion for anything with an engine. Robertson manages the shop, manages the people who work there, and makes sure that everything operates synergistically.

Each episode of the show begins with Tim Friedlander meeting a client who seeks out his help to build the car of their dreams. Throughout the episode's duration, viewers are taken through the step-by-step process of designing, building, and testing the custom vehicles.

The team’s ingenuity in creating a non-functional concept of a vehicle is mind-blowing. ToyMakerz leave no stone unturned in fulfilling the client’s requirements, from designing custom engines and bodywork, to creating innovative technologies.

One of the unique features of ToyMakerz is the scope of the projects tackled each episode. The show features everything from cars and motorcycles to boats and large-scale vehicles. That means that the team has to work with a wide variety of materials such as carbon fiber, metal, and other composites to bring these vehicles to life.

The show is very different from other custom car shows because it focuses entirely on the custom-built parts rather than modifying the pre-existing ones. ToyMakerz is genuinely showcasing the level of skill and dedication required to create a unique vehicle from scratch, and it is not an illusion that the work is hard, the deadlines and budgets are challenging, but the passion that each team member has for their work is unmatched.

Each episode is filled with drama and tension as the deadline for the project approaches. As Friedlander, Ankin, and Robertson work to construct and test each vehicle, the clients are invited back to the shop to see their dreams come to life. The emotion, excitement, and reactions of the client are genuine, making the show a delight to watch.

Watching ToyMakerz is not only entertaining but educational as well. The show takes you through the step-by-step process of creating a custom vehicle, from the concept phase to the final product. It also explains the kind of challenges that the team encounters in each project, specifically when there are new technologies involved in the car’s design.

ToyMakerz is one of the few shows that have the ability to captivate automotive enthusiasts and those who have no interest in the industry whatsoever. The unique designs and innovative technologies that the team implements in each build make the vehicles on this show stand out from any available anywhere else.

In conclusion, ToyMakerz is an enthralling TV show that combines adventure, technology, and automotive expertise to bring unique, custom-made vehicles to life. The hosts, Tim Friedlander, David Ankin, and Ashley Robertson, work as a team to create some of the most impressive and innovative vehicles around. ToyMakerz it is an excellent choice for those who love custom cars and want to get a feel of what it takes to build them.
