Shorty from Iron Resurrection at the 2019 Portland Roadster Show

Shorty (Javier Ponce) is a main part of the Iron Resurrection tv show's cast. He was the featured celebrity at the 2019 Portland Roadster Show and we were blessed to hang out with him and walk through the whole show. After that we sat down with him and chatted about how he met Joe, the 59 cat eyes that was built on the show for his friend Pete, various stories about the cast (including Joe, Mandy, Shag, Mike, and Pompe) and more. He is the same great guy in real life that we see on the series. Also see our 2nd video with Shorty where we talk about his shop called Elite Autoworks.

[@michaelmcmenzie6928]

Out of all the characters on iron resurrection I think Shorty brought the most to the table

[@oguerra64]

Good Luck, Shorty Glad to see that your enjoying being a grandfather and staying close to home to enjoy that. Hope to see you in your own show doing your own projects!

[@timeout1569]

Shorty is great, hope I get the opportunity to meet him. Too bad he and Kato are no longer on the show.

[@peterbergeris6510]

What happened to shorty n Kato? Why did they leave?

[@partylee007]

Good luck short dog, You were the best part of the show.

[@jeffpeeples5855]

shorty is the best. and what a humble guy. needs to be more people in the world like shorty. it would be a better place

[@daveperez813]

I love the show, not seeing my Latino friends on the show is heart breaking, I feel a huge part of the show is missing , to make it on a show proving talent for a Latino is very much needed , living outside of Detroit, Adrian more with a high concentration of Latinos makes us feel so proud of shorty and those that were with him, we just don’t see Latinos on to much of anything, please bring back the Latin cast , Joe we need them . THX Dave Perez , Detroit loves your show & enjoy watching your creativity. Bring them back !!!

[@markurban5005]

There was so much Zen in everything shorty did. I miss him.

[@02hreblue30]

The 59 Impala is incredible. I see why he wants to keep it.

[@russellnerche8789]

Miss Shorty! I wish him all the Best! He is a good man!

[@ralphhernandez8551]

[@JeffCarsboatsatvs]

Shorty keeps it real

[@garyguilbeau3401]

Awesome show you guys are true artist. ❤️

[@rayobrien4274]

Hi to all n the great USA. I am from the uk. I started watching iron resurrection because I saw it was Joe Martin because I watched him on the biker build off programs and he was one of the best bike builders on the show. his work was kick ass loved the stuff he did so when I saw he had his own show coming to the UK I just had to watch it and still are witching it great show. don't know how long it will last. the sad thing is there's no shorty or Cato you get used to seeing those guys so when they move on there's nothing you can do. anyway getting back to watching the show I'm on so4. Eo5. keep them coming thanks.

[@larrylucas5731]

Glad you got your on show Shorty!

[@grandparolie]

Oh how I wish he could paint my truck because if anyone can a Mexican Shorty your the best keep on keeping on.

[@bvandme]

I guess people come and go on these shows for various reasons but I like continuity, I miss shorty

[@TheGimpwars]

Yeah I agree these guys are the most naturally talented metallurgist I have seen makes the show that much better. Idk if I remember hearing joe his brother are self taught. Doesn't matter anyway. They take it to the next level more naturally done 👍❗

[@RXFARM1]

If shorty aint with martin then someone better get him and pay him well because he deserves every penny if i were a producer id get him his own show he has the personality skill and weill to do whatever it takes if joe has replaced mr shorty ,,then he should reconsider whatever caused the rift and fix it and continue the special dynamic situation that let us know shorty is special and a good man.

[@leopoldomuniz2745]

Hi Shorty why we don' see you on the show anymore. the show is not the same with out you if you are no longer there start your own show the opportunity is there.

[@jaysouthall4965]

just seen the new Iron Resurrection not the same without shorty and kato

[@aldoaiello7480]

What happened to shorty

[@Gatorgolfusa]

@@aldoaiello7480 Shorty is spending more time with family (aka grandkids), Kato moved to Atlanta they are all still friends is what I heard?

[@belindaruis6609]

Yes. Good luck best wishes

[@JCA-Z]

They didn't leave on bad terms, shorty wanted to spend more time with his grandchildren and daughter so his leaving wasn't a surprise, there's no villain.

[@muffdiver69x]

as long as they dont fire Amanda😍it's all good.😎😋

[@elbaron51]

Amanda probably screwing her Partner

[@steavenwalton9004]

Not the same without shorty...bring him back!

[@elbaron51]

Dude do they fire 🔥you from iron

[@RXFARM1]

hear what shorty said,,, combining special skills something that is worth considering especially if its part of the iron resurection crew

[@danielpasaka237]

Iron Resurrection will not be the same again without Shorty and Cato😰, it should be in one team with Pompa, Manny and others previous season team🤕

[@timsmith5788]

why hasent shorty been on iron resurrection this season??

[@hectorraigosa7149]

Saw the preview.. didn't see shorty or Kato.. didn't tune in the season premiere..another showed screwed up... the same happened with Ed China.. I dont bother with motor trend...

[@jdunn85]

Why did shorty leave the show????....he was the show!!

[@davidherenandez5038]

Saw the show last night , not the same . Dis like the way they treat Bamba . The programing just doesn't jave anymore ...

[@joevald3]

No no please don't tell me Shorty is the best Painter I've ever seen and where is Cato don't change anything on a show

[@carbonrrpilot]

Im wondering about cato aswell... i just saw what i think was a new episode of iron resurrection on motortrend with some new guy doing the interiors

[@offroadriverfishing]

Cato moved to Alabama I believe or one of the Carolinas...somewhere in the south east

[@joevald3]

@@offroadriverfishing Everybody works a good that's what made the show . It would be like firing the two main characters of Breaking Bad . It just will never be the same .. Joe Joe what was he is thinking

[@peterbergeris6510]

Why do they build cars n have no buyers at the end? Do they put too much into it n costs skyrockets?

[@joevald3]

When you have chemistry that works on the show . Don't screw with it . Keep the show separate from your Personal business . This will be a big mistake . What a shame.

[@jimwortham8634]

Rate show Joe has paid his dude remember him making motorcycles on Discovery Channel however sister it's a joke she's on the gravy train very obvious co-owner LOL

[@dronexfun8469]

How does one not know about Joe's biker build off history? That's how he got famous I thought.

[@ytwhite5930]

You're not serious....I just finished watching an episode of Iron resurrection and realized that Shorty and Cato have been replaced. I'm sure the new guys will do just fine but the show will surely be lacking.... What a dissappointment...

[@mikewallace5506]

Why was shorty replace you makes the whole show

[@alfredorosiles5880]

BADASS ,SHORTY!, CHINGON VATO!, BIG FAN OF YOUR MAGIC! THE SHOW SUCKS WITH OUT YOU AND PAMPA!, I HATE NOT WATCHING YOU BRO!

[@donchan1622]

Shorty please work on car.... lol

[@jeffmitchell9214]

So they dumped Short Dog and Pompa. That's some cruel crap. They were the spice the all white show needed. I won't be watching this season. It is really bland now.

[@baseguitar733]

Boring Sydney! Boring
