Located on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Steve Darnell and his band of oddballs and misfits create one-of-a-kind, Mad Max-style rat rods. With the demands of their quirky customers, the team at Welder Up strips and rebuilds vehicles from hidden treasure. In each episode, the automotive fabricators use their imaginations and creativity to create a unique vehicle for each unique owner. With details ranging from a shotgun gearshift to horseshoe gas pedals, the crew transforms discarded treasure and performance parts into bizarre, eccentric and truly one-of-a-kind rolling works of art.
