Manny Mendez left “Iron Resurrection” to focus on his own business. He was a key member of the team but decided to pursue his own interests outside of the show.
Manny Mendez was a familiar face on the reality TV show “Iron Resurrection,” which airs on the MotorTrend network (formerly Velocity). The show focuses on the restoration and customization of a wide variety of vehicles, ranging from cars to motorcycles, and is set in the Texas-based shop, Martin Bros Customs. Manny was known for his expertise in sourcing and selling car parts, which made him an invaluable asset to the team.
However, after several seasons, fans noticed Manny’s absence from the show. It was later revealed that he had chosen to leave the series. The reason behind Manny’s departure was not due to any on-set drama or conflict but rather a personal decision to concentrate on his own business endeavors. Manny is the owner of a business called “Manny’s Chop Shop,” where he continues to work in the automotive industry, dealing with classic cars and parts.
His departure was amicable, and the team at Martin Bros Customs, including Joe Martin, Amanda Martin, and Jayson “Shag” Arrington, have continued the show without him. While Manny’s presence on “Iron Resurrection” is missed by fans, he remains active in the automotive world and maintains a positive relationship with his former co-stars.
