Summary and plot
Rusted Development is an American reality series that documents the effort of former WWE wrestler, Chuck Palumbo and his partner Rick Dore as they hunt for classic cars. A co-production between Discovery Studios and New Entertainment Research and Design (NERD), the show premiered on March 17, 2014 on the Discovery Channel.
Rusted Development, also known as Lords of the Car Hoards, follows custom car gurus Rick Dore and WWE superstar Chuck Palumbo’s efforts to locate and rebuild legendary cars of extreme hoarders. In season 2, the experts are faced with daunting challenges of rebuilding a 1937 Zephyr, a 1957 Thunderbird belonging to a Vietnam war veteran and a special project to restore Palumbo’s father’s 1965 Corvette. In addition to rebuilding cars, Dore and Palumbo also help car hoarders rid themselves of unnecessary junk by selling off parts of other cars to help pay for the restoration of their favorite vehicles.
The show’s format starts with a tip leading to a collection of cars that have a potentially high value but are in need of some serious tender-love-and-care. Following a meeting with the owner, a car is selected for restoration and a deal is made. While some vehicles are sold as whole collectibles to other restorers or interested mechanics, other parts are recycled for scrap metal in order to raise the money necessary for a rebuild. Each episodes shows the basic design process for he car, followed by a disassembly, modification and eventual reassembly which literally gives the car a new lease on life.

I can’t believe this show hasn’t been renewed! Get it together Discovery!
This show is much better than most of the car shows on rotation on paytv. The guys are genuine, not too much manufactured drama or bs, solidly entertaining. Addictive.
2 GUYS WITH GREATH HEART CHUCK AND RICK..
THE PROGRAM MAKES ME CRY AND LEARN TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS CARS.
Really wee need season 3 on discovery or any tv show.
It's interesting how these two talented guys can restore cars that most people would say are ready for the s[censored] heap and beyond.
Would love to see it return for a season 3.
