Wondering what happened to Kaleb Clark from Iron Resurrection? Here’s everything we know about his career, Martin Bros Customs, and life after the series ended.
Kaleb Clark may not have been the most recognizable face on Iron Resurrection (IR), but regular viewers quickly came to appreciate the skilled fabricator better known around Martin Bros Customs as “K-Dub.” While much of the attention naturally went to the dramatic vehicle transformations, Kaleb was one of the craftsmen making those builds possible behind the scenes.
IR came to an end, many fans have wondered what happened to Kaleb and whether he is still part of Martin Bros Customs. Here’s what he’s been doing since the cameras stopped rolling.
Who Is Kaleb Clark?
Kaleb Clark joined Martin Bros Customs around 2020 (around season 4) as a fabricator and quickly became one of the shop’s trusted builders. Although he arrived after many of the original cast members had already become fan favorites, viewers soon recognized him as one of the craftsmen responsible for keeping projects moving through the workshop.
His work centered on the kind of fabrication every custom build depends on. From cutting and shaping metal to welding, fabricating custom components, fitting body panels and making structural modifications, Kaleb handled the precision work that transformed neglected vehicles into one-of-a-kind customs.
According to his public Facebook profile, he lives in Johnson City, Texas, works at Martin Bros Customs, and attended Andrews High School in Texas.
Kaleb’s Role on Iron Resurrection
By the time Kaleb appeared on IR, Martin Bros Customs had already earned a reputation for building high-end custom vehicles rather than straightforward restorations. Every project demanded countless hours of fabrication, and Kaleb became one of the people trusted to make those builds happen.
Throughout the later seasons, viewers regularly saw him working alongside Joe Martin and the rest of the crew, fabricating custom parts, fitting body panels and tackling the fabrication challenges that come with heavily modified classic cars and motorcycles.
Although he rarely found himself at the center of an episode, his contribution was obvious to anyone who enjoys watching the technical side of vehicle building. Kaleb represented the skilled tradespeople whose work often goes unnoticed until the finished vehicle rolls out of the shop.
Is Kaleb Clark Still at Martin Bros Customs?
Years after Iron Resurrection aired its final season, Kaleb remains part of the Martin Bros Customs team in Johnson City, Texas.
Unlike former cast members such as Shag, who now focuses on his own business ventures, Joel Balboa, who returned to Balboa Customs, Mike Z, who expanded into land work services, and Phil Cato, who now operates his own upholstery shop, Kaleb has stayed exactly where fans last saw him—inside the Martin Bros workshop.
His public Facebook profile (@kaleb.clark.56) still lists Martin Bros Customs as his employer, but it’s his own posts that give the clearest picture of what he’s been doing since the show ended.
Kaleb occasionally offers a glimpse into what he’s working on at Martin Bros Customs, and those updates make it clear he’s still deeply involved in the shop’s latest builds. Over the past year, he’s shared progress on several projects, including fabricating a hood scoop for a Mustang, wrapping up the floor work on a Fox Body Mustang, and finishing the rear wing on Foxzilla. Instead of waiting until a vehicle is complete, Kaleb seems to enjoy sharing the milestones along the way—a reflection of the pride he takes in the craftsmanship behind every build. It’s the same pride in craftsmanship that viewers saw during Iron Resurrection.
Fans can also still spot Kaleb in videos on the official Martin Bros Customs YouTube channel. Whether the shop is working on Nova builds, Fox Body Mustangs or other customer projects, he continues appearing in build updates, doing the same hands-on fabrication work that made him a familiar face on television. The cameras may no longer be filming a television series, but the work inside the shop hasn’t stopped.
Life Outside the Shop
Although Kaleb occasionally shares updates from Martin Bros Customs, he keeps his personal life largely private.
His Instagram account (@kdub_801), is private, and he has never tried to build the kind of public profile that many reality television personalities pursue. Instead, his Facebook page offers only occasional glimpses into what he enjoys when he’s away from the workshop.
One recent Reel showed him back on his dirt bike riding across the sand dunes; in another post, he shared highlights from a trip to Costa Rica, where he spent time fishing, went zip-lining through the rainforest and enjoyed the country’s coastal scenery.
The posts are few and far between, but they paint a picture of someone who enjoys getting outdoors whenever work allows. Like his television appearances, they’re understated and genuine, offering fans a small glimpse into his life without putting it on display.
