American Restoration (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 29 - Keep on Trucking - full transcript

- UP NEXT ON AMERICAN
RESTORATION...

- THE HELL YOU GOT THERE?

- I BEEN SAVING UP TO GET MY OWN
SET OF WHEELS FOR A WHILE NOW.

- BRETTLY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

- IT'S MY NEW INVESTMENT.

- BRETTLY'S DREAM CAR

IS GONNA TURN INTO A NIGHTMARE.

- THIS PLACE IS HUGE.

- MY BROTHER RON GOT A LEAD

OVER AT THE
PINBALL HALL OF FAME.

- IT'S BASICALLY ABOUT 1,000
PINBALL AND ARCADE GAMES.



- WHAT THE HECK IS THIS
RIDICULOUS-LOOKING THING?

IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO FIND THE PARTS WE NEED.

THERE'S 3,000 CARS OUT HERE.

YOU SEE ANYTHING?
- JACKPOT! WHOO!

- 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.

- SO WHERE ARE WE GOING, RON?

- DUDE, TRUST ME.

THIS IS GONNA BE
AN AWESOME PICK.



- MY BROTHER RON GOT A LEAD
ON SOME POTENTIALLY COOL PICKING

OVER AT THE
PINBALL HALL OF FAME.

THERE'S A HUGE MARKET FOR
RESTORED PINBALL MACHINES,

SO I HOPE HE AND
TYLER CAN PICK ONE UP

FOR A REALLY GOOD PRICE.

- THIS IS THE PLACE.

HEY, TIM?

- WHO IS TIM, AND WHERE ARE WE?

THIS IS, LIKE,
SOMEBODY'S HOUSE, RON.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE WERE
GOING TO THE PINBALL HALL OF FAME.

- I DON'T KNOW. HOPE WE
GOT THE RIGHT ADDRESS.

- YEAH, IT DOESN'T REALLY
LOOK LIKE THE RIGHT ADDRESS.

- HEY, TIM, YOU BACK HERE?
- OVER HERE.

- YOU JUST WANTED
TO KEEP US GUESSING.

- I'M THE PROPRIETOR OF
THE PINBALL HALL OF FAME

HERE IN LAS VEGAS.

I SUPPOSE YOU WANT
TO SEE SOME OF MY JUNK.

- I'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR JUNK.

- YOU WOULD WHAT?
- SMART-ASS.

- OH, MY GOD, THIS
PLACE IS HUGE.

- WHAT EXACTLY
IS THIS PLACE, TIM?

- WELL, THIS IS THE
STORAGE FACILITY,

SO IT'S BASICALLY ABOUT 1,000
PINBALL AND ARCADE GAMES

IN A BIG BUILDING
IN MY BACKYARD.

- DO THEY WORK?
- VERY COOL.

- SOME OF THEM WORK.
SOME OF THEM DON'T.

- OH, DUDE.
- OW. WHAT?

- THIS IS AWESOME.
YOU WENT LIKE THIS.

IT'S ALL YOU DID, MAN,
CLIMBED A BUILDING.

DUDE, THIS GAME WAS SO MUCH FUN.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING THAT A COLLECTOR

WOULD GO ABSOLUTELY
CRAZY FOR ONCE WE RESTORE IT,

BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO GET
IT AT A REALLY GOOD PRICE.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE NOT
GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY.

- GOD, IT'S LIKE BEING
A KID IN A CANDY STORE.

- HEY, HEY, HEY. HOLD ON, GUYS.
- WHAT?

- "T," YOU WALKED
RIGHT BY THIS THING.

- WHAT IS IT?

- LOOKS LIKE THE WORLD'S
SMALLEST PINBALL MACHINE.

- THAT'S A COUNTERTOP
PINBALL FROM THE '30s.

IT WOULD SIT ON A COUNTER
AT A BAR OR IN A CIGAR STORE,

AND YOU'D SHOOT THE BALL,
AND IF YOU GOT A CERTAIN SCORE,

THEY'D GIVE YOU A FREE BEER
OR A FREE CIGAR OR CASH PAYOUT.

- FREE BEER.
- FREE BEER.

- WHAT WOULD YOU LET
SOMETHING LIKE THIS GO FOR?

- I'D TAKE $400 OR
$500. IT'S YOURS.

- NAH, THIS IS SOMETHING WE'D
PROBABLY PAY 100 BUCKS FOR.

- THEN I'M NOT THAT
ANXIOUS TO SELL IT.

- ALL RIGHT.
- I DON'T SELL MY FRIENDS.

- I SERIOUSLY HOPE THIS
GUY'S WILLING TO PART

WITH SOME OF HIS
"FRIENDS" TODAY,

BECAUSE MY DAD'S NOT GONNA BE
HAPPY WITH A WASTED AFTERNOON.

- IT'S GONNA BE
OVERHAULED, ALL RIGHT?

ONE THERMOSTAT...

THE HELL YOU GOT THERE?

- BRETTLY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

- IT'S MY NEW INVESTMENT.

I BEEN SAVING UP TO GET MY OWN
SET OF WHEELS FOR A WHILE NOW,

AND I GOT A SWEET DEAL
ON THIS 1965 CHEVY PICKUP.

- YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT THIS?

- YEAH. 1,500 BUCKS.

- OH, MY GOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
BRETTLY WAS THINKING.

THIS THING IS GONNA
BURN THE BIGGEST HOLE

IN HIS EMPTY POCKETS.

- YOU LIKE IT?
- IT'S PRETTY SWEET.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK, BRETTLY.

I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT
OF WORK ON THIS THING.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THE SIDE OF IT.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY
HIT IT WITH A RAILROAD TIE.

- I'VE SEEN A COUPLE
OF THESE AROUND,

AND THEY LOOK JUST SWEET
WHEN THEY'RE DONE, SO...

- WHO DO YOU THINK'S
GONNA FIX THIS UP?

- I MEAN, IT'LL PROBABLY
TAKE ALL OF US, YOU THINK?

YOU THINK?

- YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING US?

- YOU THINK.
- DUDE.

- WHAT THE...

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- IF YOU PAID MORE
THAN 100 BUCKS FOR IT...

- 1,500.

- YOU PAID 1,400 TOO MUCH.

I'LL SELL YOU THIS PIECE
OF WOOD THAT'LL FILL

THIS HOLE RIGHT
HERE FOR 200 BUCKS.

- GOT TO START SOMEWHERE.

- IT'S PERFECT.

LET'S SEE WHAT KIND
OF SHOCKS IT'S GOT.

THIS ONE'S GONE.

- BRETTLY, GO START
IT UP. LET ME HEAR IT.

LET ME SEE WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.
- ALL RIGHT.

- GET OUT OF THE WAY.

- THAT DON'T SOUND GOOD.

THAT MEANS YOU GOT
A HUGE EXHAUST LEAK

OR A HOLE IN THE HEAD.

SOMETHING'S DEFINITELY WRONG.

THE BODYWORK IS HORRIFIC,
THE ENGINE NEEDS AN OVERHAUL,

AND THE INTERIOR IS A DISASTER.

IT'S ALL FIXABLE, BUT I
THINK BRETTLY'S DREAM CAR

IS GONNA TURN INTO A
NIGHTMARE FOR HIS WALLET.

BRETTLY, THIS IS GONNA
TAKE A TON OF WORK.

I MEAN HOURS AND HOURS.

IT'S PROBABLY GONNA TAKE
YOU MONTHS TO WORK ON THIS.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID,

THE FIRST THING I GOT WAS
A CRAP JEEP, YOU KNOW?

DROVE IT IN; MY DAD SAID,
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?"

BUT I FIXED IT UP, AND
THE NEXT THING I KNOW,

I WAS WINNING CAR SHOWS WITH IT.

SO MORE POWER TO YOU, BUT
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK HERE.

- SO CAN WE START
WORKING ON IT TODAY?

THIS IS YOURS. THIS
IS YOUR BABY, OKAY?

YOU'RE GONNA SPEND
YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY.

GOT THE TOOLS
HERE. GET DOWN TO IT.

DON'T LET IT SIT. YOU NEED
TO START WORKING ON IT.

- WHEN?
- TONIGHT. AFTER WORK.

- SO I REALLY CAN'T WAIT
TO GET STARTED ON THIS,

BUT I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUCKER
UP AND KISS SOME SERIOUS BUTT,

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK I'LL BE
ABLE TO DO THIS BY MYSELF.

- WELL, THERE GOES THE ENGINE.

AND THE SHOCKS.

- UNCLE RON AND I HAVE
BEEN LOOKING AROUND

THIS PINBALL HALL OF
FAME STORAGE WAREHOUSE

IN THIS DUDE'S BACKYARD
FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.

IT'S ABSOLUTE TORTURE
NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY

ANY OF THESE GAMES,
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO FIND

SOMETHING COOL TO
ACTUALLY RESTORE,

OR MY DAD'S NOT GONNA BE HAPPY.

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS
RIDICULOUS-LOOKING THING?

OH, WHAT IS THIS?

- YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE
FOUND SOMETHING OF USE

FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

YOU FOUND A PEEK-A-VIEW.
- WHAT IS THAT?

- IT'S A PORNO MACHINE.

- IT WASN'T QUITE
PORNO. IT'S BURLESQUE.

- WHICH IS...

- NO NUDITY.

- RIGHT, NO NUDITY.

- THEY ACTUALLY STAY CLOTHED.

- BUT HOW RACY CAN YOU
GET WITH CLOTHES ON?

- YOU'RE PEEKING IN ON SOMETHING

THAT YOU WEREN'T
SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING.

IT'S TABOO.
- OH.

- WHAT MORE DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS, TIM?

- WELL, I GOT THIS
FROM AN OLD OPERATOR

DOWN IN TEXAS WHO
USED TO PUT THEM IN BARS.

HE SAID IT WAS A
GREAT MONEYMAKER.

IT WAS A NICKEL.

THAT WAS QUITE A BIT
OF MONEY BACK THEN.

HE HAD A BUNCH OF
DIFFERENT FILM WITH IT.

HE'D HAVE SOME MORE
RACY THAN OTHERS.

- IMAGINE MY DAD. THAT'S
WHAT HE USED TO WATCH.

- WEIRD.
- THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY.

BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY WATCHED.

AND... BUT THEY WERE NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IT.

- OKAY, YOU BOYS ARE BEGINNING
TO ANNOY ME WITH YOUR PRATTLE.

YOU COULD TAKE IT
HOME TODAY FOR $250.

- UM...

I'M REALLY THINKING...

IN THE $100 RANGE.

- HMM, UM.

OH, WHAT THE HECK?

LET'S MEET HALFWAY AT 150.

- I MEAN...
- 150'S NOT BAD.

WOULD YOUR DAD WANT THIS?
- I GUESS.

IT'S SOMETHING WEIRD,

LIKE, SOMETHING WE
DON'T SEE EVERY DAY.

- IT IS WEIRD. IT'S UNUSUAL.

OKAY.
- GO WITH IT.

- I THINK 150'S FAIR.

- DONE. IT'S A DEAL.
- DUDE. AWESOME.

- YOU NEED IT.
- WE DO NEED IT.

- VERY GOOD FIND OUT OF YOU.

FINALLY, WE GOT SOMETHING
THAT'S NOT ONLY WORTH RESTORING,

BUT IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD FORM
OF SEXUAL EDUCATION FOR TYLER.

NOW WE JUST HAVE TO
BRING IT BACK TO THE SHOP

AND HOPE RICK SHARES
OUR ENTHUSIASM.

- JUST GONNA HAVE
TO LIFT UP A LITTLE BIT.

BRETTLY BOUGHT A '65 CHEVY
PICKUP FOR HIS FIRST CAR.

I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT
BRETTLY'S TAKEN ON

A BIG PROJECT LIKE
THIS, AND ALL THE GUYS

ARE HELPING HIM OUT
IN THEIR SPARE TIME.

BUT I DON'T THINK HE'S GOT A
CLUE WHAT'S IN STORE FOR HIM,

ESPECIALLY WITH THIS SCRAP HEAP.

- HOW FAR AM I GOING?

- DOWN TO THE METAL.

MY PROBLEM IS,

AS SOON AS I FIX ONE
DENT, I FIND TEN MORE.

AND WE JUST GOT STARTED.

WAIT. I THINK I FOUND A SPOT.

YEAH, THERE'S NO DENT IN HERE.

- TYLER AND I ARE JUST SO
GETTING BACK TO THE SHOP

WITH THIS PEEK-A-VIEW, AND
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW RICK.

- ALL RIGHT, WHAT'D
YOU GUYS GET?

- TYLER ACTUALLY FOUND
SOMETHING PRETTY SWEET, MAN.

- YOU WENT TO THE PINBALL
MUSEUM AND YOU GOT A PEEK-A-VIEW?

- MM-HMM.

- THAT FIGURES,

YOU TWO WOULD GET
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

- IT'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN.

I DOUBT THAT YOU'VE
DONE ONE BEFORE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE IN THE
TIME I'VE BEEN WITH YOU.

IT'S RARE. I KNOW THAT.

- OKAY, WELL, YOU TWO NUMSKULLS

ACTUALLY LANDED ON
SOMETHING PRETTY COOL.

- NICE.
- YEAH.

- I MEAN, I'VE BEEN TO
DIFFERENT SWAP MEETS

AND FAIRS AND RUN BACKYARDS.

I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THAT.

THIS THING WENT TO,
LIKE, TRAVELING CARNIVALS

AND ARCADES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

THAT'S WHERE YOU'D GET
THEM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

YOU COULDN'T GO LOOK
IN A CATALOG AND BUY ONE

WHEN YOU WERE BUYING ARCADES.

YOU HAD TO KNOW
SOMEBODY TO EVEN BUY ONE.

SO THEY'RE RARE.
THEY'RE VERY, VERY RARE.

SO WHAT'D YOU PAY?
- WE PAID 150.

- IF WE CAN RESTORE IT,
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD DEAL.

THAT'S A GOOD DEAL.
IT'S GREAT OUTSIDE.

I MEAN, I SEE NO PROBLEM
PHYSICALLY DOING THE OUTSIDE.

BUT WE NEED TO TEAR IT
OPEN, AND I NEED TO GET INSIDE

AND FIGURE OUT HOW IT
WORKS, LIKE ANYTHING ELSE.

NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE
TO RESTORE THIS THING,

BUT IF WE WANT TO
GET TOP DOLLAR FOR IT,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND
SOME OLD-SCHOOL BURLESQUE FILM

TO PLAY IN IT.

BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY.

- IT'S KIND OF
HEAVY. BE CAREFUL.

- OH, GOD, MY FOREARMS.

- MAN, RICK WASN'T KIDDING.

THERE IS SO MUCH WORK
TO DO ON THIS THING.

- PULL UP.

ALL RIGHT. PUSH IT TOWARDS ME.

- NO, WAIT.

OH... DID YOU SAVE IT?

- YEAH, I GOT IT.
- YEAH, TYLER!

WHOO!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

- OPEN THIS THING UP.
- THERE WE GO.

- WE BEEN WORKING
ON A REALLY RARE

PEEK-A-VIEW MACHINE THAT
RON AND TYLER PICKED UP.

WE GOT ALL THE OLD
PAINT AND RUST OFF

IN THE BEAD BLASTER.

AND PHIL SMOOTHED OUT ALL THE
RUST SPOTS ON THE BODYWORK.

SO NOW COMES THE TRICKY
PART FOR ME AND KOWBOY.

WE NEED TO SEE IF THIS MECH
NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL.

OKAY, WE GOT TO FIGURE
OUT HOW THIS WORKS.

WE'RE GONNA LIGHT IT UP.

WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT SOME
POWER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

GO AHEAD AND PLUG
THAT HOT LEAD IN.

AND CAREFUL OF
THE END THAT'S HOT.

- NOW?
- NO.

- NOW?
- NO.

- YOU WANT TO CURL YOUR
HAIR? YOU GET A FREE BOUFFANT.

- OKAY.
- HERE WE GO.

LIGHT WORKS.

- ALL RIGHT,
EVERYTHING'S WORKING.

WATCH.

THIS ONE'S SPINNING, AND
THEN THAT ONE'S CLICKING.

I THINK THE PROBLEM, THOUGH,
IS, IT SHOULDN'T STAY RUNNING.

SEE HOW THIS IS RIGHT HERE?

THIS SHOULD SHUT
IT OFF. WHAT'S...

WHAT'D YOU DO?
- NOTHING.

- WOW, CHECK IT OUT. IT DID IT.

THAT WAS A LONG-ASS MOVIE.

- AT LEAST WE KNOW IT WORKS.

- SEE HOW BENT THIS SWITCH IS?

THIS IS OUR PROBLEM. WE
JUST HAVE TO ADJUST THIS.

OKAY, LET'S TRY A NICKEL
IN IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

- AAH.

NOW WE'LL SEE HOW
SHORT THAT MOVIE IS.

- THAT'S IT. THAT'S
ALL YOU GET FOR 5¢.

- I DIDN'T EVEN GET
MY ZIPPER DOWN.

- WATCH WHERE THE
HELL YOU'RE GOING, MAN.

- HARD LEFT.

- SO I FINALLY GOT ALL THE
BODYWORK DONE ON MY TRUCK,

AND RICK IS AWESOME.

HE'S GONNA TAKE
CARE OF THE PAINT,

'CAUSE THAT'S WAY
OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

SO WHILE THE PAINT'S DRYING,

TYLER AND I ARE GONNA
HIT THE JUNKYARD.

- WE CAME TO THE JUNKYARD
TODAY TO LOOK FOR PARTS

FOR BRETTLY'S '65 CHEVY TRUCK.

WE GOT TO FIND DOORS AND A SEAT,

'CAUSE THE ONES WE HAVE
ARE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.

DO YOU NEED THAT?

- UH, NO.

- IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
TO FIND THE PARTS WE NEED.

THERE'S 2,000, 3,000
CARS OUT HERE,

SO THE WORDS
"NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK"

DEFINITELY COME TO MIND.

CLIMB ON TOP OF
SOMETHING AND LOOK.

YOU SEE ANYTHING?

- I THINK THAT'S ONE
RIGHT THERE, YEAH?

I'M GONNA GO CHECK IT OUT.

- WHY ARE YOU
WALKING SO DAMN FAST?

- 'CAUSE I'M HUNGRY.

OH, CB RADIO.

BREAKER 1-9. I NEED
A LARGE PEPPERONI.

OVER.

DAMN. LOOK AT THIS THING.

'66.
- CLOSE ENOUGH.

HERE'S ONE DOOR.

- GOOD.

- OH, HERE'S THE OTHER DOOR.

- HELL, YEAH.
- NICE.

READY?

- DON'T BE SCREWING
IT UP ON THE WAY OUT.

- DAMN, LOOK AT THIS
SEAT. THIS SEAT'S COOL.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS THING, MAN.

- WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE
SEAT RIGHT IN THE WAY?

- OOH, THIS THING'S
GONNA BE SWEET.

- SWEET.
- LET'S GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

I'M FRICKIN' HUNGRY.

- THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG WITH
THE PEEK-A-VIEW RESTORATION.

TED IS DESIGNING SOME
CUSTOM GRAPHICS FOR THE CASE.

AND THE ONLY
THING THAT'S MISSING

IS THE FILM THAT
PLAYS IN THE MACHINE.

SO I'M SENDING RON AND TYLER

OUT TO THE BURLESQUE
HALL OF FAME

TO SEE IF THEY CAN
TRACK DOWN ANY FOOTAGE.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT
CAN FIND HALF-NAKED WOMEN,

IT'S THOSE TWO.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST THOUGHT OF
SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

SHOULD A 17-YEAR-OLD BOY BE
IN THE BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME?

I'M GONNA SAY NO TO THAT.

- WHATEVER, LET'S GO.

- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
SERIOUSLY, DUDE.

STAY HERE.

- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
- YOU'RE 17, BUD.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA
LET YOU IN HERE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT.

- WELL, I LEGITIMATELY
HATE YOU RIGHT NOW.

- WELL, SEE YOU IN A BIT.

- YOU'RE TAKING
THE KEYS? IT'S 110.

- IF I LEAVE THE KEYS,
YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE ME HERE.

- GOT THAT RIGHT.

- LATER, KID.

- WHATEVER.

- HELLO?
- HI.

- HI. HOW ARE YOU?
- WELCOME.

I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE AT
THE BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME

IN LAS VEGAS.

WHAT WE DO HERE

IS PRESERVE THE
ART OF BURLESQUE,

WHICH IS TRULY AN AMERICAN
PERFORMANCE ART FORM.

IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN
TAKE A LOOK AROUND.

WE HAVE A NEW EXHIBIT OUT.

IT'S A TIMELINE OF BURLESQUE
HISTORY IN AMERICA.

- HOW ABOUT THAT OUTFIT?

YOU GOT A LITTLE INFORMATION
ON THAT OUTFIT FOR ME?

- YEAH, THAT'S A G-STRING
THAT TEMPEST STORM HAD WORN.

- AND THAT'S ALL THEY WORE
WAS JUST THAT G-STRING?

- THAT AND BARE
BREAST OR PASTIES.

- PASTIES.
- MM-HMM.

WHICH WOULD BE NIPPLE COVERS.

I KNOW PASTIES WELL.

- SO FAR, THIS IS THE COOLEST
MUSEUM TOUR I HAVE EVER BEEN ON.

THIS GIRL KNOWS HER BURLESQUE.

TYLER'S TOTALLY
MISSING OUT RIGHT NOW.

- OH, MY GOD, IT'S HOT IN HERE.

RON.

RON. IT'S HOT.

- SO IS THERE SOMETHING I
CAN HELP YOU WITH TODAY?

- ACTUALLY, YEAH, WE
PICKED UP A PEEK-A-VIEW,

AND WE'RE GONNA RESTORE IT.

SO IT DIDN'T HAVE FILM IN IT.
WE CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.

- I CAN SHOW YOU
WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR ANYTHING ELSE,

WE CAN GO FROM THERE.

- VERY GOOD.

- WE PROBABLY ARE ONE
OF THE VERY FEW PEOPLE

THAT STILL HAVE THIS FOOTAGE.

I HAVE THREE
BURLESQUE FILMS HERE.

- OKAY, CAN I TAKE THESE OUT
AND KIND OF LOOK THROUGH THEM?

- YEAH, AS LONG AS
YOU'RE CAREFUL WITH THEM.

YEAH, FEEL FREE TO LOOK AT THEM.

- OH.

RIGHT ON. THIS IS PRETTY HOT.

WONDER WHAT KIND
OF SHAPE SHE'S IN NOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- MAYBE SHE'S A COUGAR.

- OH, YEAH.
- YEAH.

- I'M DEFINITELY COMING
BACK TO THIS PLACE.

IN THE MEANTIME,

AMANDA'S GONNA LET
US BORROW THE FOOTAGE

SO WE CAN MAKE COPIES
FOR THE PEEK-A-VIEW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE TOUR AND THE FOOTAGE.

I GOT TO RUN.

MY 17-YEAR-OLD NEPHEW IS
WAITING FOR ME OUT IN THE CAR.

- YOU KNOW, HE
COULD HAVE COME IN.

WE'RE OPEN TO ALL AGES.

IT'S NOT AN 18-AND-UP MUSEUM.

- OH, CRAP.

- RON.

- WE FINALLY FINISHED RESTORING
A 1950s PEEK-A-VIEW MACHINE

THAT WE GOT DURING A PICK.

RON FOUND SOMEONE WHO
MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN BUYING IT,

AND I FIGURED, WHAT BETTER
PLACE TO SET THE MOOD

FOR UNVEILING THIS THING THAN
AT THE BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME?

- WHAT'S UP, BROTHER?
- HEY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
- NOT MUCH.

TOM, RICK.
- HI, TOM.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.
- AMANDA, RICK.

- HI. I'M A VOLUNTEER.
- AMANDA, GREAT TO MEET YOU.

- THIS IS A POTENTIAL BUYER
I'VE GOT FOR THE PEEK-A-VIEW.

- I'M EXCITED, SO COME
ON IN. I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

- I CAME TO LAS VEGAS TODAY
TO LOOK AT A 1950s PEEK-A-VIEW.

- SO WE READY?
- YEP.

- HERE WE GO. HERE IT IS.

- WOW. THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

WHEN HE UNVEILED IT,
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

IT LOOKED SO GOOD. IT
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS BRAND-NEW.

WELL, I'M A BIG FAN OF
ANYTHING FROM THE '50s,

AND I ORGANIZE BURLESQUE SHOWS.

- THAT'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

- WAS IT IN THIS CONDITION
WHEN YOU GOT IT?

- NO, IT WAS PRETTY ROUGH.
IT WAS REALLY ROUGH.

AND IT WAS BANGED UP A LOT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD
TO TAKE IT APART,

POUND OUT ALL THE DENTS AGAIN,

GET SOME GOOD PRIMER
ON IT, AND THEN PAINT IT ALL.

SO WE PUT A NICE
POLY PAINT JOB ON THIS,

GIVE IT THAT NICE FLAKED LOOK.

- AND THINGS LIKE THE
PICTURE AND THESE STICKERS?

- OUR ARTIST, TED, WENT
AND REDID ALL THIS STUFF,

AND HE PUT THAT
ART BACK IN THERE

TO GIVE IT MORE OF AN ERA LOOK.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE MORE
TURN OF THE CENTURY.

YOU COULDN'T READ THIS ANYMORE.

IT SAYS YOU GET FIVE
VIEWS FOR THREE SHOWS,

SO IT MAKES YOU JUST
SALIVATE FOR THE NEXT NICKEL.

- IT LOOKS GREAT.

BUT DOES IT WORK?
- YEAH, IT WORKS.

ALL RIGHT. HERE'S A NICKEL.
- OKAY.

- OKAY, ALL YOU'RE GONNA
DO IS DROP IT IN THE SLOT.

AND THEN YOU GET THE
BEST SHOW OF YOUR LIFE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- WOW.

NICE. THAT LOOKS GREAT.

I THINK WHEN PEOPLE
GET TO SEE THIS,

THEY'RE GONNA BE
REALLY IMPRESSED.

HE WAS ABLE TO GET SOME
AUTHENTIC '50s BURLESQUE MOVIES.

AND THE PICTURES
INSIDE... IT LOOKED PERFECT.

SO HOW MUCH ARE YOU GONNA
SELL SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR?

- WITH THE AMOUNT OF HOURS
THAT I HAVE ON THIS PIECE,

I'D LIKE TO GET RIGHT
AROUND 1,800 FOR IT.

- YOU KNOW, I TOLD MY WIFE I
WOULDN'T PAY MORE THAN 1,200.

- WELL... UM, I TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL GO TO 1,700, BUT
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.

- WILL YOU TAKE 1,500?

- 1,500.

DO YOU HAVE A MUSEUM,

OR IS IT JUST SOMETHING
THAT YOU COLLECT

AND YOU'RE GONNA PUT
IT IN YOUR HOUSE, OR...

- WHAT I'M GONNA DO
WITH IT IS, I'M GONNA LEND IT

TO THE BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME
MUSEUM ON A PERMANENT BASIS.

- OH, THAT'S AWESOME.

- AND THEN I THINK PERHAPS
WHEN IT'S MY EVENT IN VEGAS,

I WILL ASK THEM TO BRING
IT JUST FOR THE WEEKEND

SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.

- THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT'S AWESOME.

THAT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT TO ME.

- WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

AFTER YOU JUST SAID THAT,

TO BE QUITE HONEST, I THINK
YOU GOT A DEAL WITH 1,500.

- THAT'S PERFECT. THANK YOU.
- DEAL? ALL RIGHT.

AWESOME.

KNOWING THAT IT'S
GONNA BE ON DISPLAY

AT THE BURLESQUE HALL OF FAME
JUST SEALED THE DEAL FOR ME.

I COULDN'T BE ANY HAPPIER.

- OH, NOW I NEED ANOTHER NICKEL.

- SO THAT WAS A GOOD DEAL, HUH?

- I ACTUALLY CAN'T WAIT

TO GO BACK THERE AND
DO SOME MORE BUSINESS.

I LOVE THAT PLACE.

- I'M GLAD WE GOT
RID OF IT, YOU KNOW?

- HEY!
- WHOA.

LOOK AT THAT.

- CHECK IT OUT!

- HE GOT IT RUNNING.

- WOW.
- DAMN, THAT LOOKS AWESOME.

LOOK AT THIS THING, MAN.
- HOLY CRAP.

- LOOKS GOOD.

COME OUT NICE.
- I LEARNED A LOT, YOU KNOW.

I'M VERY, YOU KNOW, PROUD
OF MYSELF, I GUESS YOU CAN SAY.

BUT I DEFINITELY LEARNED A
LOT FROM EVERYONE HELPING.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT.

- ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, MAN.
- CHECK THIS THING OUT, MAN.

IT'S, LIKE, ALL SPIFFY CLEAN.

- I REALLY LIKE THE
DETAIL THEY PUT INTO IT.

HE NEEDS TO TAKE
CARE OF THAT THING,

'CAUSE THAT IS A NICE TRUCK.

- LOOK AT THE BED.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

VERY NEAT. VERY TIGHT.

- OH, BABY, LOOK AT YOUR TRUCK.

- CHECK IT OUT.
- THAT IS AWESOME.

- LOOKS GOOD.
- I'M SO PROUD OF HIM.

AND I KNOW HE'S PROBABLY
VERY PROUD OF HIMSELF,

AND HE'S GONNA DRIVE
THAT TRUCK PROUD.

- YOU DID A LOT OF DETAIL.
YOU GOT THE CHROME ON IT.

- YEAH.
- WOW, I LOVE THE INTERIOR.

LOOKIT, IT MATCHES.
- YEAH.

- YOU GOT THE RED AND
WHITE THING GOING ON.

ALL THIS THING REALLY
CAME TOGETHER.

I MEAN, IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

BRETTLY DOESN'T
GET A LOT OF CREDIT

FOR WHAT HE DOES AT THE SHOP,

BUT ON THIS TRUCK... I
MEAN, HE WAS LITERALLY

THE DRIVING FORCE TO GET
THIS THING TOTALLY FINISHED.

- OOH.

- I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD
OF WHAT HE TURNED OUT.

IT'S A WORK OF ART.

I GOT, LIKE, A QUESTION,
THOUGH, BRETTLY.

WHERE DID ALL THE
MONEY COME FROM?

- I HAVE MY WAYS.

I CAN RESTORE MY '65 CHEVY ♪
