Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman deal in rusty gold. The proprietors of Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas buy, restore and resell forgotten, derelict American cars, everything from 1931 Model A cars to '73 Trans Ams. As "Fast N' Loud" shows, Rawlings is the mastermind, a deal-maker with an eye for relics worth their efforts, and to find them the guys search barns, fields and auctions across the U.S. Kaufman manages most restorations.

At the end of Season 12, that partnership ended when Kaufman exited Gas Monkey, leaving Rawlings as the series' sole star.

It takes a lot of nuts and bolts, so to speak, to challenge Richard Rawlings and his crew at Dallas hot rod shop Gas Monkey Garage. But that's what mechanics Tom Smith and Jordan Butler are fixin' to do by opening a rival shop with fellow car pros Thomas Weeks and Scot McMillan. The venture, Fired Up Garage, is their chance to go toe-to-toe with powerful Gas Monkey -- featured in Discovery's hit series "Fast N' Loud" -- and prove that they have what it takes to run a car business. Smith and Butler have extra motivation, too: They worked at Gas Monkey before a series of mishaps forced Rawlings to fire them.

Richard Rawlings, the star of Discovery Channel's hit series "Fast N' Loud," knows what it takes to turn a dream into a full-fledged business empire.

Now, Rawlings is ready to pass along that knowledge to help struggling garages in desperate need of transformation. Joined by project manager Russell J. Holmes and garage designer Chris Stephens, Richard takes on seemingly impossible challenges -- dealing with out-of-touch owners, lazy employees, bad workflow and significant construction issues -- and uses his entrepreneurial savvy, deep knowledge of the auto industry, and multifaceted marketing skills to produce profitable businesses. Russell gets the rehabs done on time and on budget, while Chris implements Richard's vision for the shop.

Car enthusiast Mike Brewer and internationally renowned car designer Ant Anstead work together to give new life to run-down, classic automobiles in order to resell at a profit. Working with a limited budget, Mike's job is to find and purchase a vehicle before presenting it to Ant, who makes the necessary repairs -- and there usually are plenty of them -- giving tips along the way about electrical and structural issues, mechanics, cosmetic touches and finishing work.

The series, a British import, began airing on Discovery Channel in the U.K. in 2003. Its first 13 seasons featured master mechanic Edd China as Brewer's sidekick.
