Rust Valley Restorers
Season 3
Overview
The boys of Rust Valley are back with another season of amazing cars, tough competition, and lots of laughs. We continue to follow car fanatic Mike Hall, his son Connor, and the Rust Bros gang in their mission to restore dilapidated classic cars to their former glory in car-crazed Rust Valley. Former shop manager and best friend Avery Shoaf has opened his own shop: Wildman Restorations with help from his son Shafin. Will Avery continue to work with Mike or become another competitor? Mike still has over 400 cars in his ‘field of dreams’ and he continues to buy more cars than he restores. Business is brisk, but it’s crucial that Mike keeps his eye on the bottom line. If the money doesn’t flow, he could still sell off the entire operation – for the right offer…or does he have another trick up his sleeve?
