American Restoration (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 17 - Rusted and Busted - full transcript

- UP NEXT ON AMERICAN
RESTORATION...

THIS THING IS BAD TO THE BONE.

- I CAME TO GET MY ITALJET
KIDDIE TOY RESTORED.

- SOMEBODY HAS PUT A
MOTORCYCLE ON THE TOP OF IT.

- SO THIS IS ACTUALLY
A REAL MOTORCYCLE?

- RIGHT.

YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG?

IT'S SUPPOSED TO
BE BLUE, NOT RED.

- WHY, IT'S STILL
GONNA BE A COKE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CHANGE
THE SHADE OF MY HAIR.

I'M STILL GONNA BE TYLER.



- HOLY CRAP!

- I CAME DOWN TO GET MY
1953 BUMPER CAR RESTORED.

- THIS IS WHAT WE
CALL A RUST BUCKET.

I'VE NEVER TOLD SOMEBODY
THAT I COULDN'T DO IT EVER.

BUT TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY.

REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN THINGS WERE MADE BY HAND

AND PEOPLE TOOK
PRIDE IN THEIR WORK?

MY NAME'S RICK DALE,

AND I BRING THESE
THINGS BACK TO LIFE.

EVERY RESTORATION HAS
ITS OWN SET OF CHALLENGES.

THERE'S NO OWNER'S
MANUAL FOR WHAT WE DO,

BUT THERE'S NO JOB
WE CAN'T HANDLE.

THE OTHER DAY, I GOT A
CALL FROM THE ACTUAL OWNER

OF LUSSE AUTO SCOOTER



ASKING IF I COULD RESTORE
A BUMPER CAR FOR HIM.

- PETER FROM LUSSE.
HOW YOU DOING?

- PETER, GOOD TO MEET YOU.
- GOOD TO MEET YOU.

- LUSSE IS ONE OF THE TWO
BIGGEST MANUFACTURERS

OF BUMPER CARS IN THE WORLD,

AND HE WANTS ME TO
RESTORE ONE OF HIS GEMS.

THIS IS AWESOME.

- THIS IS ONE OF
MY OLD SOLDIERS.

I HOPE YOU CAN HELP HIM.
- I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S GET IT DOWN.
I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

- I CAME DOWN TO
RICK'S RESTORATION

TO GET MY 1953 LUSSE
AUTO SCOOTER RESTORED.

ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, I
PURCHASED LUSSE AUTO SCOOTERS

WITH A COUPLE BUMPER
CARS AND SOME PAPERWORK,

AND I KEEP IT ALIVE TODAY.

THERE WAS ONLY TWO
BUMPER CAR COMPANIES.

THERE WAS DODGEM,
AND THERE WAS LUSSE.

- RIGHT, AND THEY WERE
IN HUGE COMPETITION

AT THE TIME IN AMUSEMENT PARKS.

- VERY MUCH SO.

- SOME AMUSEMENT
PARKS STILL ARE RUNNING

THESE MODELS TO THIS DAY.

- YES, THESE ARE 1953s,

AND THEY'RE STILL
RUNNING IN 2011.

- THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED
TO DRIVE, IN THESE THINGS.

- YOU STILL DRIVE JUST LIKE
YOU SHOULD BE IN A BUMPER CAR.

THIS IS WHAT WE
CALL A RUST BUCKET.

IS THIS AN EXTRA PIECE OF METAL?

- NO, THAT'S THE BACKSEAT,
PART OF THE FEET.

- SO THIS IS A PIECE OF METAL

THAT USED TO HAVE
UPHOLSTERY ON IT.

SO WE'RE SORT OF
LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL...

- YEAH.
- OKAY.

TEARING THE THING APART,

I'M PROBABLY
LOOKING AT 16 HOURS.

NOW, ONCE WE GET
THE BODY, THE ONLY WAY

TO REWORK THE METAL
IS, YOU NEED METAL.

THIS DOESN'T HAVE
ANY METAL LEFT.

IT'S ALL RUSTED.

SO IN ORDER TO MAKE STUFF,

YOU'RE BASICALLY
HAVING TO CUT PANELS OUT,

REWELD A PIECE OF METAL
IN WHERE IT'S NOT RUSTED,

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WELD IT
BACK IN AND THEN BODYWORK OUT.

- A LOT OF WORK HERE TO DO,
BUT, RICK, I THINK YOU CAN DO IT.

- I'M GUESSING ON THIS, TWO
WEEKS, BODYWORK, STRAIGHT.

80 HOURS, ONE GUY.

IT'S A TON... I MEAN,
A TON... OF WORK.

SO ALL THAT SAID AND
DONE, I'M LOOKING BETWEEN

ABOUT 15 TO 18 GRAND.

- WHEW.

OUT OF MY BUDGET.
- YEAH, YEAH.

- ABOUT $7,500 IS WHERE I'M AT.

WELL, I...

I WANT TO WORK ON
THIS BUMPER CAR SO BAD,

BUT IF WE CAN'T AGREE ON
A PRICE, I JUST CAN'T DO IT.

I AM NOT AGREEING TO A PRICE

THAT'S GONNA END UP
PUTTING ME INTO THE RED.

THERE'S NO... THERE'S...
THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA
HAVE ANY METAL LEFT.

I MEAN, I THINK
WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE

WITHOUT ME HAND-MAKING
A LOT OF THESE PARTS.

- I UNDERSTAND.

- THE LOWEST I
CAN GO IS $15,000,

AND I MIGHT LOSE MONEY THERE.

I'VE NEVER, EVER TOLD SOMEBODY
EVER THAT I COULDN'T DO IT

OR THAT I WOULDN'T DO IT.

SO I AM SORRY.

YOU HAPPEN TO BE
THE FIRST RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T
DO IT FOR THAT BUDGET.

THERE IS NO WAY.

IF I TAKE THIS JOB
FOR THIS BUDGET,

I WILL END UP GOING INTO DEBT

JUST TO GET IT BACK
INTO WORKING ORDER.

THAT'S JUST NOT SMART BUSINESS.

IF WE WERE REALLY
CLOSE, I'D SAY YEAH,

BUT WE'RE SO FAR OFF.

YOU KNOW, I DO APPRECIATE
YOU BRINGING IT IN.

- WELL, I APPRECIATE IT.
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- THANK YOU.
- YOU BET.

- WELL, RICK DECIDED THAT THERE
REALLY WASN'T MUCH TO SAVE,

AND AT THIS TIME, I THINK THIS
OLD SOLDIER WILL BE PUT AWAY,

AND TAKE SOME PARTS
OFF AND CALL IT A DAY.

- I HATE NOT MAKING MONEY
AND TURNING AWAY CUSTOMERS.

BUT THE WHEELS KEEP TURNING,

AND THIS GUY JUST
PULLED IN MY SHOP

WITH SOMETHING
THAT LOOKS BADASS.

I JUST HOPE WE CAN
MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU?
- BRIAN.

- BRIAN, GOOD TO
MEET YOU. I'M RICK.

- NICE TO MEET YOU, RICK.

- THIS THING IS BAD
TO THE BONE, MAN.

- I CAME TO GET

MY ITALJET COIN-OPERATED
KIDDIE TOY RESTORED.

I GOT THE COIN-OPERATED
MACHINE FROM MY DAD.

HE HAD GOT IT OFF A JOB SITE,

AND HE THOUGHT IT WOULD JUST
BE A PRETTY NEAT THING FOR ME

TO PUT TOGETHER FOR MY
FIRST SON THAT I WAS HAVING.

IT'S BEEN SITTING ON
THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE,

AND MY SON'S ABOUT TO TURN FOUR,

SO I JUST KIND OF WANT
TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

I JUST KNOW IT'S A TOY, AND
I'M HOPING IT COULD WORK.

- THIS IS AN AMUSEMENT PIECE

THEY WOULD PUT IN FRONT
OF EVERY GROCERY STORE.

AND THEY WOULD HAVE
BOATS AND BICYCLES AND CARS

AND STATION WAGONS, AND
THEY'D MOVE BACK AND FORTH.

FOR YOUR MONEY,
YOU'D HAVE SO MUCH TIME,

AND THEN IT'D STOP.

WELL, SOMEBODY HAS PUT LITERALLY
A MOTORCYCLE ON THE TOP OF IT.

THIS THING IS,
LIKE, A 1965 ITALJET,

WHICH WAS MADE IN ITALY.

- SO THIS IS ACTUALLY
A REAL MOTORCYCLE?

IT'S NOT JUST A TOY?

AND SOMEBODY HAD MOUNTED
IT ON THIS PIECE HERE?

- RIGHT, RIGHT.

MOST OF THE BIKES THAT YOU
WOULD HAVE ON AN AMUSEMENT RIDE

WOULDN'T HAVE
CARBURETORS ON THEM,

WOULDN'T HAVE A
SPARK PLUG IN THEM.

YOU KNOW, IT'D BE FAKE.
IT'D BE A LOT OF FAKE STUFF.

TO ME, I WANT TO MAKE
THIS MORE OF A SHOWPIECE.

TAKE THE SPOKES OUT OF
THERE, RE-CHROME THE RIMS,

AND THEN GO AHEAD AND PAINT IT.

I'LL PUT A TRICK PAINT
JOB ON THERE, YOU KNOW,

PAINT THE BOTTOM UP REAL COOL.

WE'LL REUPHOLSTER THIS SEAT.

ASSEMBLY'S PROBABLY
BETWEEN 14 AND 15 HOURS.

- YOU'RE SCARING ME
NOW. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK.

- SO ALL SAID AND DONE,

YOU'RE LOOKING
RIGHT AROUND $6,500.

YEAH, YEAH.

- THAT'S HUGE.
- YEAH.

YOU'RE WORKING WITH DIFFERENT
METALS, PLASTICS, FIBERGLASSES,

AND IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET
THIS THING ABSOLUTELY PERFECT,

THE WAY I WOULD FEEL

THAT SOMEBODY COULD
PUT IT IN THEIR HOUSE

AND BE VERY PROUD OF IT,

I NEED TO TAKE THE
TIME AND DO IT RIGHT,

AND YOU'RE LOOKING
AT RIGHT AROUND $6,500.

EVERY JOB THAT I TAKE
ON HAS TO BE PERFECT,

AND SOMETIMES THAT DRIVES UP
THE PRICE OF THE RESTORATIONS.

BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GONNA DO IF I LOSE OUT

ON RESTORING TWO
REALLY COOL ITEMS IN A ROW.

- I DID GET IT FROM MY FATHER,
SO I DO WANT TO GET IT RESTORED.

THAT WAS HIS WHOLE PLAN, FOR
ME TO GET IT RESTORED FOR MY SON,

'CAUSE HE GAVE IT TO ME WHEN
WE WERE FIRST HAVING OUR CHILD.

$6,500 IS A LOT, BUT I
THINK WE CAN MANAGE IT.

- OKAY.

- OKAY?
- AWESOME.

ALL RIGHT, BUD, LET'S
GO INSIDE THE OFFICE.

I'LL TAKE A LITTLE DEPOSIT.

- MY SON, HE JUST
TURNED FOUR YEARS OLD,

AND I THINK HE'S JUST GONNA
FIND TONS OF ENJOYMENT WITH IT.

I JUST CAN'T EVEN WAIT TO SEE

WHEN HE ACTUALLY SEES
IT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

- WE'RE GONNA NEED A HAMMER!

- GET OFF THAT BIKE AND
HELP ME TEAR IT DOWN.

- I'M SO RELIEVED WE
GOT TO DO THIS JOB.

I REALLY WANT TO GET
CRANKING ON THIS ITEM.

SO I GOT BRETTLY AND KYLE
TEARING THIS THING DOWN.

- DID YOU USED TO RIDE THESE
THINGS WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE?

- YES, SIR.
- YOU DID?

IN FRONT OF THE STORES?
- YEP.

- YOU'D ASK YOUR
MOM FOR ONE TOKEN?

YEP.

- SAY, "MAMA."

- ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN GET IT OFF.

- YEAH!

TIME TO GO RIDE.

OH, THIS DON'T LOOK THAT BAD.

- THE MOTOR'S GOOD.

OTHER THAN A FEW COBWEBS,

THE MECHANICS ON THIS RIDE
ARE IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE.

- THIS DON'T LOOK FUN TO ME.

- HEY, RICK, HOW ARE YOU?

- HEY. HOW YOU DOING?

YOU MUST BE THE
ONE THAT CALLED ME

ABOUT THE COIN CHANGER.

- YES, I'M GLEN.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

- THAT THING'S AWESOME, MAN.

- CAME DOWN TO
RICK'S RESTORATIONS

TO HAVE HIM RESTORE MY
1950s VENDO COIN CHANGER.

- THOSE THINGS ARE
RARE, RARE, RARE.

THIS DAY IS REALLY
STARTING TO TURN AROUND.

EARLIER, I LOST A CUSTOMER.

THEN I GOT AN
AWESOME ITALJET RIDE

AND NOW THIS SUPER
RARE COIN CHANGER.

VENDO MANUFACTURING ENDED UP
MAKING THEM FOR COKE MACHINES.

THE DEAL IS, IS IN THE '40s,

COKE MACHINES ONLY TOOK A
NICKEL, A STRAIGHT-UP NICKEL,

SO THEY NEEDED THESE CHANGERS.

WHEN YOU PUT THE
QUARTER IN OR THE DIME IN,

IT WOULD LITERALLY GIVE
YOU JUST NOTHING BUT NICKELS.

A COIN CHANGER LIKE THIS WAS
SO IMPORTANT BACK IN THE DAY.

BEFORE THEY WERE INVENTED,

IF YOU WALKED UP
TO A SODA MACHINE

WITHOUT THE CORRECT CHANGE,

YOU WOULD END
UP STAYING THIRSTY.

AND THE SODA COMPANY WAS
GONNA LOSE OUT ON A SALE.

SO DO YOU KNOW IF IT WORKS?

- I DON'T KNOW IF
IT WORKS OR NOT.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU MAKE SURE

IT'S WORKING PROPERLY,
THE COIN MECHANISM.

- OKAY.

YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S
BEEN USED FOR SURE.

THIS IS WHERE YOU LOADED
THE NICKELS, RIGHT UP HERE.

AND THEN WHEN YOU
PUT THE QUARTER IN,

IT'D SEE IT WAS A
QUARTER, AND IT'D LET OUT

JUST ENOUGH MONEY
RIGHT THROUGH THIS SLOT,

AND IT'D ROLL RIGHT
DOWN THROUGH HERE

AND INTO THIS CHUTE RIGHT HERE.

AFTER WE GET DONE
WITH EVERYTHING,

YOU GOT, LIKE, A
SPOT TO PUT THIS IN?

- YES, RIGHT NEXT
TO MY PEPSI MACHINE.

- BUT IT'S COKE.

- WELL, DO YOU THINK
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE

TO PAINT IT IN PEPSI BLUE?

- YEAH, SURE, I CAN DO ANYTHING.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE

THAT THE GREAT COKE VERSUS
PEPSI DEBATE STILL LIVES ON.

HOWEVER, THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME I'VE EVER BEEN ASKED

TO RESTORE SOMETHING THAT
WAS DESIGNED FOR COKE FOR PEPSI.

OKAY, SO FIRST THING
WE'RE GONNA DO IS,

WE'RE GONNA TEAR IT APART.

I WOULD SAY WE'RE
GONNA HAVE SIX HOURS

BECAUSE OF THE COIN MECH.

EVERY SINGLE PIECE
HAS TO COME APART.

AND THEN AFTER THAT,
THIS PIECE, THIS PIECE

ARE MADE OUT OF DIE-CAST.

AND IT'S VERY HARD TO
CHROME-PLATE CORRECTLY.

ALL THAT SAID AND DONE,

EVERYTHING TOGETHER THERE,
IT'S BETWEEN $1,200 AND $1,500.

- SOUNDS GREAT.
- ALL RIGHT.

- I THOUGHT RICK WAS
VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE

ABOUT THE COIN CHANGER.

I'M SURE WHEN I GET IT
DONE, IT'LL BE SPECTACULAR.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

- VERY COOL, HUH?
- YEAH.

- IT'S REALLY BUSY AT THE SHOP,

AND RICK JUST GOT IN THIS
COIN CHANGER MACHINE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY RUNS FOR A BIT,

SO I'M GONNA LEND
A HAND TO KOWBOY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET INTO THIS THING.

SEE WHAT WE GOT.
- GET IN THERE.

WHOA.
- LIKE THAT?

NOT SURE WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT.
- A LEVEL?

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- SO THAT WHEN THEY HUNG
IT ON THE WALL, IT WAS LEVEL.

- YOU'RE A FRICKIN' GENIUS.

YOU ARE WAY SMARTER
THAN YOU LOOK.

WE HAVE PRETTY
GOOD TEAMWORK TODAY.

- RON AND KOWBOY JUST FINISHED
TEARING DOWN THIS COIN CHANGER.

NOW KYLE AND I ARE GONNA
TEST THE MECH INSIDE.

PUT A QUARTER IN, IT
SHOULD GIVE US FIVE NICKELS.

PUT A DIME IN, IT SHOULD
GIVE US TWO NICKELS.

OKAY, PUT A QUARTER IN.
- OKAY, DROP IN THERE.

- OKAY, SO A QUARTER
WENT IN THERE.

WE GOT FIVE.

SO THAT WORKS SO
FAR. LET'S TRY A DIME.

OKAY.
- PUT IT IN THE SAME PLACE.

- PERFECT... SO THAT CAME
OUT WITH TWO NICKELS.

IT'S REALLY COOL SEEING
HOW THIS MECHANISM WORKS.

AND LUCKILY, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
GONNA BE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH IT.

OKAY, NOW THAT WE KNOW THIS
THING'S WORKING PRETTY WELL,

WE NEED TO FINISH
AND TEAR IT ALL APART.

- OKAY.

- WE GOT TO COMPLETELY CLEAN
AND LUBE EVERY MOVING PART

TO MAKE SURE THIS THING'LL BE
WORKING FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS.

ALL RIGHT, JEFF, THIS
WAS A REAL ITALJET,

YOU KNOW, MOTORCYCLE
OUT OF THE '70s.

A GUY DROPPED OFF A
COIN-OPERATED KID RIDE

TO GET RESTORED,

BUT THIS AIN'T YOUR
TYPICAL KIDDIE RIDE.

IT HAS A REAL MOTORCYCLE
MOUNTED ON TOP OF IT.

WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT RUN.

SO I WANT TO TAKE IT
APART. WE'LL CLEAN IT UP.

I WANT TO LOOK... I'M INTERESTED
TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE THERE.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
POLISH THIS UP LIKE SHOWPIECE.

- WELL, LET ME TEAR IT APART.

SO LOOK AT THIS CYLINDER.
IT'S NEVER BEEN RUN.

IT'S BRAND-NEW.
IT'S NEVER BEEN RUN.

WHAT A WASTE.
- I KNOW. WHAT A WASTE.

- YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS
WOULD LOVE TO BE RIDING THIS THING?

- THIS THING IS UNBELIEVABLE.

THE ENGINE IS
BRAND-SPANKING-NEW.

AS A MOTORCYCLE
FAN, IT'S A SHAME

WE CAN'T MAKE THIS THING
INTO A WORKING STREET BIKE.

BUT THE OWNER WANTS
THIS RIDE FOR HIS SON.

HE DOESN'T WANT
HIS FOUR-YEAR-OLD

BUZZING UP AND DOWN
THE BLOCK ON THIS THING.

I WANT TO SEE MORE.

JACKPOT!

- IS THAT COOL.

- THAT'S MONEY.
- A TOKEN, THIS IS A TOKEN.

- THIS IS MONEY.
THIS IS A QUARTER.

YOU SEE COIN-OP STUFF, YOU
ALWAYS FIND MONEY IN THEM,

BUT YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D
FIND THE MONEY IN THE MOTOR.

- YEAH, THAT'S FUNNY
HOW HE DROPPED IT IN HERE.

YEAH, IT JUST SAYS "GOOD
TIME TOKEN" ON THIS ONE.

"FUN FOR ALL."

PROBABLY GIVE A COUPLE
OF THESE TO BRETTLY,

HE'LL THINK HE GOT A RAISE.

- THAT'S ABOUT ALL THE RAISE
BRETTLY'S GONNA GET... 50¢.

AND THAT'S A MONTH.

- I FINISHED EARLY WITH
OTHER STUFF I WAS WORKING ON,

SO I FIGURED, WHY NOT
PAINT THIS COIN CHANGER?

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO CALL
BEING AHEAD OF THE GAME.

LOOKS GOOD.

- THIS ITALJET HAS BEEN
GOING REALLY WELL SO FAR.

THE NEXT STEP IS PAINT.

WHAT THE?

. TYLER!

NOTHING PISSES ME OFF
MORE THAN MISTAKES,

ESPECIALLY FROM TYLER.

HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

- WHAT'S UP?

- GET OVER HERE.
- I'M HERE.

- NO, GET OVER HERE.
- OH, MY GOD.

WHAT?
- YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG?

- NOT REALLY. I THINK
IT LOOKS AWESOME.

- IT'S RED.
- YEAH, I KNOW.

- DID YOU EVEN READ
THE WORK ORDER?

- YEAH, IT SAYS...
- GO GET IT.

- READ IT OUT LOUD.

- "COKE VENDO COIN CHANGER"...
- NOT THAT.

THE PART ON THE BOTTOM,

WHERE IT SAYS HOW
TO PAINT THE THING.

WHAT COLOR?

- "CUSTOMER WANTS FINISHED ITEM

"TO BE PART OF A
PEPSI COLLECTION,

"SO IT NEEDS TO BE
PAINTED CLASSIC PEPSI BLUE."

I FIGURED IT WAS A NO-BRAINER.

VENDO MACHINES ARE
MADE FOR COKE, NOT PEPSI.

- THIS CUSTOMER WANTS
THIS COKE THING PEPSI BLUE.

- WHY? IT'S STILL
GONNA BE A COKE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CHANGE
THE SHADE OF MY HAIR.

I'M STILL GONNA BE TYLER.

- JUST PAINT THE DANG
THING BLUE, ALL RIGHT?

- YEAH. I'LL FIX IT.

GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE I PAINTED
THIS THE WRONG COLOR.

NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT COLOR THIS
COIN CHANGER IS SUPPOSED TO BE,

I HAVE TO SCUFF DOWN THIS
WHOLE THING AND REPAINT IT.

BUT IF YOU ASK ME, IT'S STILL
GONNA BE A COKE VENDO,

NO MATTER WHAT COLOR IT IS.

GREAT.

- SO FAR, THINGS
ARE ROLLING ALONG

WITH THE MOTORCYCLE
RIDE RESTORATION.

BRETTLY SANDBLASTED
THE BASE FRAME,

AND PHIL PREPPED IT FOR PAINT.

AND NOW THAT TYLER IS FINALLY
FINISHED IN THE PAINT ROOM,

I GET TO SHOOT THIS THING WITH
A COUPLE OF AWESOME COLORS.

I'M GONNA GO WITH BLACK AND
RED, WHICH IS GONNA MAKE IT FUN

AND BADASS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

- RICK, YOU AROUND?
- HEY, GLEN.

- I'M VERY EXCITED TO SEE
THE COIN CHANGER TODAY.

I HAD RICK CHANGE THE COLOR
FROM COKE RED TO PEPSI BLUE

TO MATCH MY PEPSI MACHINE.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

- OKAY.
- I'M READY. COME ON ALREADY.

- I GOT TO GET TO BUILD
THE EXCITEMENT, YOU KNOW?

- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

OH, MY GOD, THAT
LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE.

IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

THE FACT THAT HE WAS ABLE
TO MATCH THE COLOR PERFECTLY,

IT WAS BETTER THAN
I EVER EXPECTED.

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

- SO DOES THIS THING
LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT

THAN THE LAST TIME YOU SAW IT?

- IT LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT
THAN THE LAST TIME I SAW IT.

I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

- YOU KNOW, WE DID IT IN
THE COLOR THAT YOU WANTED.

I KNOW THAT YOU HAD A MACHINE,

THE MATCHING,
WHICH IS PEPSI BLUE.

AND THEN WE DESIGNED
THIS THING HERE.

IT'S GOT THE PEPSI BOTTLE CAP
WITH THE ARROW GOING DOWN.

SENT THE CHROME OUT,
AND THEN WE ENDED UP

LETTERING INSIDE HERE,
ALL THE WHITE LETTERING.

AND THEN THE INSIDE...
- THAT LOOKS GREAT.

- OKAY, THIS IS A LOT
OF PARTS IN THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

EACH ONE OF THESE
PLATES CAME OFF.

THE COIN MECH ITSELF CAME OUT.

AND THEN WE
CAD-PLATED EVERYTHING.

- UNBELIEVABLE.
RICK, IT LOOKS GREAT.

IT'S OBVIOUS YOU SPENT
A LOT OF TIME ON IT.

BUT THE BIG QUESTION
IS, DOES IT WORK?

- YEAH, THAT'S THE
OTHER HALF, HUH?

ALL RIGHT, SO YOU
CLOSE IT UP LIKE THIS.

PUT THE QUARTER IN.

MAKE SURE WE GET
THEM ALL OUT OF THERE.

- THERE'S FIVE.
- YOU GOT YOUR FIVE NICKELS.

- I GUESS IT WORKS.

I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED
FOR ANYTHING BETTER.

I HAD THE UTMOST FAITH IN
HIM. I KNEW IT WOULD WORK.

THANK YOU AGAIN VERY MUCH.

- COME ON IN HERE, AND I'LL
TAKE SOME OF YOUR MONEY.

- I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT HOME

AND PUT IT RIGHT NEXT
TO THE PEPSI MACHINE.

IT'S GONNA LOOK WONDERFUL.

- LOOKS A LITTLE DRY OVER HERE.

WE'VE BEEN RESTORING THIS
MOTORCYCLE-LOOKING KIDDIE RIDE.

WE GOT THE MOTOR NICE AND CLEAN,

SO NOW ME AND KYLE GOT
TO LUBE IT UP AND TEST IT OUT.

- GOT TO GET THESE
BEARINGS ALL GREASED UP.

- THEY OUGHT TO BE SMOOTH.
- NICE.

- NICE.

- LET'S GO AHEAD AND
PUT THE BASE ON IT.

- OKAY, YOU GUYS, WE
READY TO TEST THIS?

- THINK SO.

- OKAY.

IT GOES ALL OVER, HUH?
- LIKE AN EIGHT.

- YEAH.

- THAT PART I POLISHED
JUST LOOKS AWESOME.

OH, COME ON, KOWBOY.

EVERY DAY, WE HAVE TO HEAR THAT?

- YES, EVERY DAY
AND EVERY NIGHT.

I'LL CALL YOU ON THE
PHONE AND TELL YOU.

- I'LL CHANGE MY NUMBER.

- I'M HERE TODAY TO PICK
UP MY ITALJET KIDDIE RIDE.

- HI.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING?

- GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
- VERY WELL.

I'M HERE TO SEE RICK TODAY.
- OKAY, YEAH, COME ON.

I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE HE'S
AT. I THINK HE'S ABOUT TO LEAVE.

- THIS IS GONNA BE A GIFT
FOR MY TWO CHILDREN.

- HEY.
- HEY.

- THIS GENTLEMAN
IS HERE TO SEE YOU.

- OKAY, YEAH, I WAS
JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE.

BRIAN.
- HEY, WHAT'S UP, RICK?

- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.

- WHAT WERE YOU
COMING TO PICK UP?

- THAT KIDDIE
RIDE, THAT ITALJET.

- ALL RIGHT, KELLY, COULD YOU
GO PICK UP THAT STUFF FOR ME?

- SURE.
- OKAY, THANKS.

YOU READY TO SEE IT? VOILA.

- OH, MY GOSH. THIS
IS AWESOME, MAN.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- THIS IS REALLY COOL.

CAN I RIDE IT?

- A LITTLE DIFFERENT, HUH?
- YEAH, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

WELL, AND THE RED,
I THINK IT'LL DRAW

EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION TO IT.

ALL THE KIDS WILL
WANT TO SIT ON IT.

- YOU KNOW, I LIKE
THINGS TO POP.

I MEAN, YOU WALK
UP TO THIS THING,

THIS IS JUST TOTALLY BAD.

- ALL THIS CHROME.
- IT'S ALL CHROMED UP.

WE CHROMED THE WHEELS.
- WOW, DUDE.

THAT IS JUST WAY COOL.

- WE ENDED UP CHROMING
ALL THE HANDLEBARS,

GOT NEW GRIPS, POLISHED
THE MOTOR ALL OUT,

GOT A NEW BOOT ON HERE,
MADE A NEW SEAT FOR IT.

- YEAH, THAT WAS PRACTICALLY
GONE WHEN WE DROPPED IT OFF.

- YEP, IT WAS TRASHED.
WE PUT FOOT PEGS ON IT.

IT HAD ONE. THE OTHER
ONE WAS BROKE OFF.

AND WE PUT THE
ITALJET SIDE LOGO ON IT.

- IT WAS ACTUALLY
PAINTED BEFORE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

- SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD PROJECT?
- YEAH, YEAH.

AND THEN I ENDED UP CLEARING
THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING.

WHEN WE PULLED THE MOTOR
APART, IT WAS BRAND-SPANKING-NEW.

IT HAD NEVER BEEN RAN,
BUT THE FUNNY THING WAS,

IT HAD TOKENS STUFFED
INSIDE THIS MOTOR.

THIS IS WHAT WAS IN THE MOTOR.

A LOT OF TOKENS.
- YEAH, SOME TOKENS.

THE COLOR SCHEME AND
EVERYTHING, THAT'S AWESOME.

BUT I MEAN, JUST ACTUALLY
KNOWING WHAT IT IS NOW,

I THINK THAT'S BY FAR

THE MOST SURPRISING
AND COOLEST THING FOR ME.

AFTER ALL THIS,
IT LOOKS PERFECT,

BUT NOW, DID THE RIDE WORK?

- YOU WANT TO SEE IT?
- YEAH, DEFINITELY.

I'M NOT GETTING ON IT, THOUGH.
- SO I GET TO BREAK IT?

- YES, EXACTLY. YEAH,
'CAUSE YOU COULD FIX IT.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, SO SHE'S GOT
GOOD TO 200 POUNDS.

- YOU'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT
BIGGER THAN MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD.

GOD, I HOPE SO.

- READY?
- ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IT.

THAT'S COOL.

- I'M SURE HE'LL GET A LOT
MORE OUT OF THIS THAN I AM,

'CAUSE I'M PRETTY MUCH DONE.

- YEAH, NO, I COULD SEE HIM
SITTING THERE FOR HOURS

ON THAT THING.

THIS IS AWESOME.

YOU WOWED ME WHEN
YOU FIRST SHOWED IT TO ME.

ARE YOU GONNA WOW
ME WITH THE PRICE?

- WE'RE RIGHT THERE.
- WE'RE RIGHT THERE?

- YEAH, THE $6,500 IS
RIGHT WHERE I'M AT.

- OKAY, THAT'S AWESOME.

- SO AS LONG AS YOU LIKE IT,
WE'RE GOOD WITH THE MONEY?

- I'M HAPPY, YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT, AWESOME.

- I EVEN GOT A DISCOUNT.
- YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

- I GOT SOME MONEY BACK.

- LET'S GO IN HERE AND TAKE
CARE OF SOME PAPERWORK,

AND I'LL HAVE MY GUYS
DELIVER IT TO YOUR HOUSE.

- THE KIDS, I'M SURE,
WILL LOVE THE COLOR

AND THE FACT THAT IT
ROCKS BACK AND FORTH.

THEY'LL BE WRESTLING
OVER TRYING TO SEE

WHO'S GONNA SIT ON IT FIRST.

MAYBE I'LL BE ABLE
TO SIT ON IT MYSELF.

JUST HAVE TO FIGHT OFF THE KIDS.

- HOW'S IT GOING, GUYS?
- GOOD, HOW YOU GUYS DOING?

- JUST SET IT RIGHT HERE.
- LOOK, JOSH, HERE IT IS.

- CHECK IT OUT.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- SHOW HIM HOW IT
WORKS. GET ON IT.

- OOH!

- IT'S PROBABLY
NOT MADE FOR YOU.

WHOA!

- THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

NO HANDS.
- YOU'RE RIDICULOUS.

SERIOUSLY, BRETTLY, YOU
GOT TO LET THEM USE IT.

I MEAN, IT'S THEIR BIKE.
