| FAN-FAVORITE "TEXAS METAL" GEARS UP TO RETURN FOR ITS BIGGEST SEASON YET --TEXAS METAL Premieres Today at 10 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV-- (Los Angeles, CA) - Everything is bigger in Texas and that's doubly true for everybody's favorite custom vehicle show, TEXAS METAL, which is geared up to return for season 3, premiering today at 10 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV. TEXAS METAL brings car fans inside the custom creations of mastermind Bill Carlton and his uber-talented team of fabricators and innovators at Ekstensive Metal Works in the Northside of Houston as they build the best one-off cars and trucks for people from around the country. In season 3 of TEXAS METAL, after more than twenty years changing the custom vehicle game, Bill and his uber-talented team push themselves to go even bigger with builds they've never done before. Episode 1, "Cab over Custom," airing January 21 at 10 PM ET/PT, sees Bill and the Ekstensive team throw everything they've got into an old customer's 1950 Ford F5 COE. It's not often the team gets the chance to outdo themselves but a radical redesign consisting of a custom handmade bed, headache rack, running boards, metalwork, interior, paint, and new wheels, puts that plan into action. Then in the following week, January 28 at 10 PM ET/PT, the second half of a two-parter, Bill and team go even bigger with one of the biggest builds to date when the client asks for a last minute Cummins diesel engine swap on the year-long 1950 Ford F5 COE project. In future episodes, the guys fit a 12 Valve Cummins in a 1937 International truck, lift a huge 2019 Silverado 5500 Medium Duty 14 inches, make a custom chassis for a 1969 Corvette, complete a salvage renovation to NFL Hall of Famer and Texas legend Earl Campbell's 1949 Cadillac, and tackle maybe their biggest build yet, a 1996 International dump truck. This season the TEXAS METAL team will tackle a diverse array of automotive projects including: · A 1969 Corvette; · A 2001 Ford F-350; · A 2017 F350; · A 1965 Ford Falcon Van; · A 1966 Cobra; · A 1972 El Camino; · A 2020 Freightliner Tow Truck; · A 1970 Chevy C10; · A 1934 Buick; · A 1937 International D1; · A 2017 Mercedes Van; · A 2020 Chevy Kodiak New episodes of TEXAS METAL air Tuesday at 10 PM ET/PT on MotorTrend TV beginning January, 21.

--Brand New, Original Series TEXAS METAL Premieres Tuesday, November 7 at 9PM ET/PT --
(New York) - Velocity rides into the heart of Texas to bring car fans inside the clever custom creations of mastermind Bill Carlton and his team in the all new series TEXAS METAL. As the owner and innovator behind Houston's Ekstensive Metal Works, Carlton pushes his team to build the best one-off cars and trucks for people from around the country. TEXAS METAL follows their work as they make the ordinary extraordinary using everything from rusted out wrecks to top of the line vehicles including a 1955 Chevy Truck, a 2014 Porsche 911, a 1967 Lincoln Continental, a 1966 Chevrolet C10 and more. TEXAS METAL world premieres Tuesday, November 7 at 10 PM ET/PT only on Velocity.
"We've learned from our hit series IRON RESURRECTION that Texas isn't just rich with oil - it's full of innovative, skilled experts who know how to build trucks and build them big," said Robert S. Scanlon, president of Velocity and TEN video content. "TEXAS METAL has all of those ingredients and delivers process, which is something that is extremely important to our audience. We're excited to welcome Bill and the Ekstensive team to Velocity and can't wait for viewers to see the incredible, detailed full-service work they do."
Bill Carlton is a third-generation welder. His father purchased the property where Extensive Metals Works now sits 40 years ago and it's where Bill grew up building cars including his first out of a small shop on the property. Now in that same spot in north Houston, Ekstensive cranks out wild, top-notch customizations that are the envy of car lovers everywhere.
TEXAS METAL revvs up in the series premiere featuring a brand new 2017 Ford 350 with less than 600 miles and a 2014 Porsche 911 looking for extreme customizations. In true Ekstensive fashion, Bill and his team replace original factory parts in each ride with custom fabricated bodywork and intricately welded structural for their very own custom touch. This season, TEXAS METAL also customizes a 1961 Cadillac DeVille, a 2006 Chevy Kodiak, a 1963 Grumman Delivery Truck and more amazing builds.
TEXAS METAL is produced for Velocity by Sonar Entertainment. For Sonar Entertainment, Dan Miller and Patrick Myatt is executive producers. For Velocity, Joshua C. Berkley is executive producer and Robert S. Scanlon, president of Velocity and TEN video content.
