Steve Darnell and his crew of rust-loving, Sin City rebels, prove that their unconventional style produces the sickest rides on the planet in an all-new season of Vegas Rat Rods.
The 12-part original Canadian series follows auto mastermind Steve Darnell and his Welder Up team of mechanics, automotive fabricators, and welders as they build badass rides out of rusty junk strewn across the Nevada desert.
Last season, Darnell and the Welder Up crew entered the big leagues. Moving their shop from the edge of the desert to just steps from the Las Vegas strip raised their profile in Sin City and solidified their place as the “go to guys” for custom, one-of-a-kind creations. But with success comes challenge. As more and more clients come knocking on the garage door, Darnell is finding his once-trusted wells of vintage parts strewn across the Las Vegas desert drying up.
Determined never to fail, Darnell ventures deeper into the desert to source the parts he needs to create personalized and signature works of art for his clients. To help meet the shop’s outrageous demands and deadlines, Darnell drafts Edmonton native Cheyenne Ruether into his rat-rod world. A former hot rod and custom car refinisher, Ruether struggles to cope with Darnell’s unorthodox methods and Welder Up’s passion for rust. Together the crew take on some of their most challenging builds to date, all while keeping Welder Up at the pinnacle of custom creativity.
Vegas Rat Rods airs Thursdays at 8pm beginning March 30th on Discovery.
