ToyMakerz is a custom vehicle fabrication shop in Reidsville, NC that brings to life the colorful and often inconceivable designs of David Ankin. This process, and the fun & games that take place along the way, is the basis of ToyMakerz, the TV show.

Moving into its 3rd season, ToyMakerz has moved to a new home at A+E Networks where it will air on History and FYI starting March 10, 2019. The 8 brand new 1-hour episodes will feature everything from monster trucks, to tanks, to racecars, to drones, to fully custom never-before-seen exhibition cars, and even appearances by American icons Richard Petty and Dean Cain. It’s a must-see.
