New restorations and exclusive creations by talented Mexican mechanic Martín Vaca are the focus of the second season of Mexicánicos, Discovery en Español’s automotive-themed reality series.

The pay TV network is airing the program on Mondays at 10 p.m. (ET)/7 p.m. (PT) as part of its Lunes de Motores automotive-themed programming block. The second season bowed Nov. 9.

Season two is comprised of six hour-long episodes. In one episode, Mexican recording artist Lupillo Rivera, a classic car aficionado, travels from California to ask Martín to restore a 1954 GMC pickup truck.

In another episode, charismatic Chivas de Guadalajara soccer player Ángel Reyna visits the workshop with a request to personalize his pickup to look like a luxury car.

Two new team members join the series this season: Martín’s daughter, Isabel, charged with coming up with a new, more modern image and business model for Vaca Limousines, one of Mexico’s largest conversion workshops for customized hearses and limousines; and designer David Hernández.

Mexicánicos was produced for Discovery en Español by Drako Media under the direction  of Gerardo Brandy, in co-production with High Noon Entertainment. The production was made under the supervision of Discovery Networks Latin America/U.S. Hispanic’s  Michela Giorelli, Rafael Rodríguez and Carlos de la Paz.

Discovery en Español has taken its Monday-night “Lunes de motores” automotive block to the extreme with Mexicanicos, a new eight-episode series hosted by mechanic and car-restoration expert Martin Vaca.

Airing Mondays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), Mexicanicos focuses on “extreme automotive design.” Each episode follows the start-to-finish rebirth of classic cars in Vaca’s Guadalajara, Mexico, workshop.

Among the choice cars getting a redo are a Mustang Mach 1 belonging to Jesus and Francisco Elizalde, the sons of singer Lalo "El Gallo" Elizalde, and a 1957 Chevrolet owned by actor Edgar Vivar, known for his role as Señor Barriga on the classic Mexican sitcom El Chavo del Ocho.

Vaca’s workshop is famous throughout Mexico for the limousines and hearses it produces. Its creations include a Boeing 727 that has been converted into a limousine, another giant limo shaped like a vintage ocean liner and a car in the shape of a chili pepper built to help promote a local distillery.

Mexicanicos is produced by Discovery en Español under the supervision of vice president of production and development Michela Giorelli and executive producers Rafael Rodriguez and Irune Ariztoy. High Noon Entertainment, known for its recent reality-series collaborations with Viacom’s Tr3s network in the U.S., is also co-producer.

Season one of the series premiered Sept. 2, 2014 and concluded two months later.
