Vegas Rat Rods

Steve Darnell gets ready for an epic new year of Vegas Rat Rods while paying tribute to everything that got him here, including his dad, his crew, his city and his most bitchin' builds.

Steve and the crew take on transforming a '58 Chevy Apache into a vintage dirt bike hauler. Then Steve jumps at the chance to bring Evel Knievel's Formula 1 dragster back to life.

With the delivery date for the ultimate Vintage Dirt Bike Hauler imminent, Steve pushes his crew to complete his vision. Then, when Welder Up's reputation is challenged, Steve races a local smack-talker.

Steve is asked to build a villain rat rod in three weeks and a vintage-inspired charity bike for veterans in two. When the frame on the car takes longer than expected and the bike won't start, he worries he won't get both done.

Steve and the crew have committed to meeting the superhero build time and delivering the villain rat rod in three weeks. With no sign of a transmission, it doesn't look like the crew will make the perilous deadline.

Steve agrees to build a crazy 70's-era gasser racecar for a Navy veteran. Then, he tries to make money by restoring and flipping a prohibition-era bootlegger Model A truck for a Las Vegas police captain.

The Welder Up crew scrambles to finish the '70s gasser, but they run into several problems while testing the car. Then, Merlon plans a surprise gift for Steve to replace a bike he loved as a kid but lost.

When longtime friends commission Steve to build a spooky car, he digs up a haunted '55 Chevy. While Justin and Travis battle to modify the cursed car, Steve and Merlon flip a depression-era Plymouth.

The Haunted Rod is cursed. The suspension and the engine don't fit, triggering major body work. When the engine doesn't fire, they miss the deadline. Steve flips an old gas pump to off-set extra labor costs on the Haunted Rod.

Steve and the crew have to get creative when building an iron-worker themed rat rod that doubles as a work truck. Justin makes a big mistake, and Steve tries to flip a beat-up '67 Coronet that he finds in a junkyard.

With only two weeks left to go building the Iron Rod truck, the crew still has to build an engine, install it and re-cut the frame to add shocks. They're going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get it finished on time.

Steve must design a tour bus that represents Welder Up while meeting the high standards of his business partners and sisters Donnalee and Stacy. Then, Steve stands to make his largest profit yet off an unusual flip.

The Welder Up tour bus receives an interior steampunk makeover, while Merlon converts the engine to run on vegetable oil, and Travis installs triple turbos. Meanwhile, Justin drifts into unfamiliar territory with his '62 Lark.
