Shorty, whose real name is Javier Ponce, left the show “Iron Resurrection” to focus on his own business. He started his own automotive shop in Texas called Shorty’s Custom Paint.
Javier “Shorty” Ponce became a fan favorite 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. Shorty was known for his exceptional skills in bodywork and custom paint jobs, which made him an integral part of the team at Martin Bros Customs, the shop where the show is set.
After several seasons on “Iron Resurrection,” Shorty decided to leave the show. His departure was not due to any on-screen drama or conflict but was a personal decision to pursue his own dreams and business ventures. He wanted to put more time and energy into his own shop, Shorty’s Custom Paint, located in Marble Falls, Texas. His business specializes in custom paintwork and body modifications, similar to the work he performed on the show.
Shorty’s departure was amicable, and he remains on good terms with the cast and crew of “Iron Resurrection.” Fans of the show have expressed their support for Shorty’s decision and his entrepreneurial spirit. While he is no longer a regular on the show, his legacy continues through the work he did during his time at Martin Bros Customs and the ongoing success of his own business.
