Between the two I'd go with Iron Resurrection so long as I could choose what it was supposed to look like when done.

If I was to let either one just do whatever they wanted then I choose neither. Most of the time when the TV shows get their hands on a Mopar the end product is far removed from what I would want.

As Neil said, most TV shows really screw up Mopars when they get their hands on them, bad enough I can barely stand to watch any of them.

If I had money to burn, I'd probably still do it myself!

It would probably still be screwed up, but at least it would be done the way I like it.

I'm too hands on to hand my ride over to anyone else to do what they think I might want, or probably more truthfully, have them do what ever they always wanted to do to a Mopar, weather I liked it or not. Gene

I would probably give it to Foose or Uncle Tony. The Martin Bros. will probably put an LS engine in it like everything else they build. Now I have seen some pretty nice fabrication from those guys in St. Louis, Speed is the new Black I think shruggy They have done some really tasteful customs IMHO.

Uncle Tony?

Yeah. He'd take the 440 out and slam in a 170 Slant Six. GREAT idea......
He is fine for getting a beater up and running but everything he does is hacked and smacked.

Dave Kindig or Steve Strope....with a LOT of my input. They both have done Mopars without putting LS in it. Rad Rods by Troy would be another option. Troy Trepanier.

Well, I usually enjoy both shows, and I like maybe half the vehicles they do...
But I'm not a 20-22" wheel guy, don't want an LS or a chopped top or a frame swap.
So if I couldn't do it myself - and I can plow through some money laugh2 - I'd go with Steve Strope.

If I wanted to hang out and laugh myself silly, Iron Resurrection - especially if Shorty & Pompa were there.

So many real world vintage car owners just cruise their cars- drive them to work on Fridays but the TV show car builders say they use the 20" wheels for better handling and to accommodate huge aftermarket disc brakes. How many muscle car owners are doing a road course? Yea 15" tires are getting rare and don't have a high speed rating but again- most cars are doing shows and cruises anyway. All the cars I see are out for a show and shine- cruise thru town and then back home. Big wheels and big brakes and slammed to the ground needed for this? Around the year 2000 the term "Pro Touring " came out and many a vintage muscle car became the victim of people like Foose starting at this time.


Keep old mopars alive.

I actually considered calling Martin Brothers to see what they might do. I would suspect that even at a bare minimum entry level it would be more than I would think logical to spend. They do some amazing stuff with metal. Once Kindig did the Coronet, I realized I would not want him doing anything of mine.


Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Big wheels, crazy suspensions, late model hemi swaps, O/D 6 speed, modern a/c, fuel injection, etc all in the name of driving and you still don't see too many cruising around.

If I could afford it I would have Bill Carlton and the crew at Extensive/ Texas Metal do an air bag / lowering set up on my D150... I agree the Martin Brothers do some nice work

X 2 - Bill's truck work is unmatched.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

I think I would rather have Freiburger and Dulcich do my ride before any of the ones mentioned, just as long as Finnegan was out of country the whole time.

Probably hard to go wrong with either but I would pick Martin Brothers.

I think they have shown many times they will do what the customer wants even if it is different from what they would do.

That being said if it was too different from what they want they may not take the job. I think he is particular about what has his name on it.

Of course dealing with either company in the real world may be a lot different that what is on TV.

I just hope they sign up for another season of Iron Resurrection. They had a five season deal and they just completed the fifth season.

I guess Martin Brothers to do old school mini tub and rear frame and floors but would have to retain rear seat in the vert.
Frame and suspension and sheet metal work. Kinda like a prostreet but stock style hight
No paint or anything else just get the car there and I would pick it up from there.
