American Restoration (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 30 - Bikes and Barbecues - full transcript

- UP NEXT ON AMERICAN
RESTORATION...

A CUSTOMER WANTS ME TO CHECK
OUT A REALLY OLD JAPANESE BICYCLE.

WHAT ABOUT PARTS?

- UH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

- WHERE IN THE HELL ARE WE
GONNA FIND BRAKES LIKE THIS?

- JAPAN.

- A CUSTOMER WANTS
TO TRY HIS LUCK

AND DO SOME PICKIN'
IN THE BONEYARD.

THIS IS, LIKE, THE
COKE MACHINE AREA.

- I HAVE A COKE MACHINE
ALREADY, THOUGH.

OOH, WHAT'S THAT?



- THIS THING'S COOL.

- I NEED SOME MONEY.
- FOR WHAT?

- FOR A BARBECUE.
- HOW MUCH YOU NEED?

- THANKS.

- THIS BETTER BE THE BEST
DARN BARBECUE IN VEGAS.

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.

EARLIER, I GOT A CALL
FROM A CUSTOMER

THAT WANTS ME TO CHECK
OUT A REALLY OLD BICYCLE.



THESE THINGS CAN
BE VERY VALUABLE,

SO I CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE WHAT HE'S GOT.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

- I'M GOOD. YOU RICK?

- YES, I'M RICK. HOW ARE YOU?

- CLAYTON.
- CLAYTON, GOOD TO MEET YOU.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT
CALLED ABOUT THE BIKE?

- I CAME DOWN TODAY
TO RICK'S RESTORATIONS

TO HAVE HIM TAKE A LOOK

AT A VINTAGE MARUISHI
BICYCLE THAT I HAVE...

- AND SEE IF HE COULD
POSSIBLY RESTORE IT FOR ME.

- SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS BIKE.

THIS IS COOL.

- FOUND IT AT AN ANTIQUE STORE.

JUST KIND OF POPPED
OUT AND SAID, "I'M UNIQUE.

I'M SOMETHING DIFFERENT."

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IT'S
SOMEWHERE AROUND THE '40s.

- THAT'S ALL STRAIGHT
SHAFT DRIVE, NO CABLES.

IT'S A WORK BIKE. YOU CAN TELL.

THEY USED THIS FOR A
REASON, FOR A PURPOSE.

IT WASN'T JUST SOMETHING
THAT A KID OR A PERSON

WOULD GET ON AND
JUST JOYRIDE AROUND.

- RIGHT.
- THIS THING WAS A TOOL.

THIS MARUISHI BIKE
WAS MADE IN JAPAN

RIGHT AFTER WORLD WAR II,

WHEN THE COUNTRY
WAS IN SHAMBLES.

BICYCLES AND MOTORCYCLES

WERE THE ONLY RELIABLE
WAY TO GET AROUND,

SO THEY BECAME AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE.

WHAT'S REALLY UNIQUE
ABOUT THIS BIKE IS,

ON EVERY PIECE OF METAL,
THERE'S SOME KIND OF EMBOSSMENT.

- RIGHT, I'VE NOTICED THAT
EVEN THE NUTS AND BOLTS...

IT HAS, LIKE, THE COMPANY
LOGO ON EACH NUT AND BOLT.

- TH'S INCREDIBLE.

IT'S GOT THE REAR KICKSTAND,
YOU KNOW, LIKE A MOTORCYCLE.

- IT EVEN HAS A LOCK.
- OH, YEAH?

SO IF THIS WENT UP LIKE
THIS, YOU LOCK THIS DOWN.

NOW IT'S LOCKED.
- RIGHT.

- IT'S LOCKED TO WHERE
IT WON'T COME DOWN.

- RIGHT.
- WOW, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

- I LIKE THE FACT, TOO,
THAT THE CHAIN GUARD

COMPLETELY WRAPS
AROUND THE CHAIN.

- THEY COULD LITERALLY RIDE
THROUGH THE ROCKS, THE WATER,

AND NEVER HAVE ANY DAMAGE.

- THE REAR BRAKE
ON IT IS A DRUM BRAKE.

- RIGHT.
- SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

- TOTALLY.

THIS BIKE IS
DESIGNED LIKE A TANK.

THE FRAME IS SOLID STEEL.

THERE'S NO CABLES
TO FRAY OR BREAK.

AND THE CHAIN IS
TOTALLY PROTECTED.

IT'S BUILT TO TAKE JUST ABOUT
ANYTHING YOU CAN THROW AT IT.

SO WHAT ARE YOU
SEEING DONE WITH THIS?

- SOMEBODY PAINTED THE BIKE,

SO I WOULD LIKE TO BRING
IT BACK TO ORIGINAL STATE,

ORIGINAL COLOR.

THE REAL COLOR OF
THE BIKE WAS BLACK.

- RIGHT.
- I LIKE THE BADGES.

IF YOU LOOK UP
FRONT ON THE BADGES,

I MEAN, THEY'RE
ALMOST BRAND-NEW.

I KNOW THE HANDLEBARS
WERE CHROME.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BRAKE LEVERS

AND MAYBE THE ROD
MECHANISMS WERE CHROME.

- RIGHT.

- SO BRING IT BACK LIKE

IF YOU WERE TO GO INTO
A STORE TODAY AND BUY IT.

- OKAY.

SO HOW WE'RE GONNA START IS,

WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE BETWEEN SIX
AND EIGHT HOURS TEARING IT DOWN.

THE FRAME'S ABOUT THE
ONLY THING I CAN SANDBLAST.

IT'LL GO TO THE BODY SHOP.

ALL THE FENDERS AND THE
COVERS AND EVERYTHING...

I CAN SEE THERE'S
SOME DENTS AND STUFF,

SO WE'LL END UP
BODYING THOSE ALL OUT.

FOUR OR FIVE HOURS IN THAT.

WE'LL PUT THE
BLACK PAINT JOB ON IT.

AND THEN WE'LL GO TO ASSEMBLY.

AND WITH ALL THAT SAID AND DONE,

WE'RE PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND
$2,500 TO DO THE WHOLE BIKE.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
NEEDS TO BE RIGHT ON THIS.

WE DON'T WANT TO
DO ANY... NO HACK JOBS.

THE MAIN THING
IS, IT'S DONE RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

- YEAH.
- OKAY?

SO ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT?

- NO PROBLEM.
- ALL RIGHT.

- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU.

THANKS FOR BRINGING IT IN.

ALL THE LITTLE
DETAILS ON THIS BIKE

ARE GONNA LOOK AMAZING
ONCE IT'S RESTORED.

BUT THAT ALSO MEANS IT'S
GONNA TAKE A LOT MORE WORK

TO GET IT THERE.

- THIS THING'S ALL BENT UP.

TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS
SO WE KNOW WE DIDN'T DO IT.

- I'VE WORKED ON A
LOT OF BIKES BEFORE,

BUT I THINK THIS THING

WAS REALLY WELL
BUILT BACK IN THE DAY.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO
START, KOWBOY, WHEELS?

- I SAY WE ATTACK THE FRONT
AND THEN, SHH, JUST MOVE.

- I CAN'T WAIT TO START
TEARING INTO THIS THING

AND MAKE IT LOOK NEW.

- IS THAT A RIVET?
- YEP.

IT'S A JAPANESE RIVET.

- WE GOT TO TAKE THAT OFF.

ONE TIRE.
- ONE KICKSTAND.

- WHERE IN THE HELL ARE WE
GONNA FIND BRAKES LIKE THIS?

- JAPAN.

- YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO HEAT THAT UP, MAN.

- I DON'T WANT IT
TO GET TOO HOT.

I DON'T WANT TO
TWIST THAT APART.

- SWEET.

TA-DA!

- HEY, RICK.
- HEY.

- WE HAVE A CUSTOMER.
- IT'S GOOD TO MEET YOU.

- HE WANTS TO FIND
SOMETHING IN OUR BONEYARD.

- SURE.
- AWESOME.

- I'VE BEEN COLLECTING ALL
SORTS OF STUFF FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

EVERYTHING RON AND I
BUY WHEN WE'RE PICKING

USUALLY ENDS UP IN THE BONEYARD
UNTIL WE'RE READY TO RESTORE IT

OR USE IT FOR PARTS.

AND EVERY NOW AND
THEN, I GET A CUSTOMER

WHO WANTS TO TRY HIS LUCK

AND DO SOME PICKIN'
IN THE BONEYARD.

SO WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR?

- WELL, I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING NEW,

SOMETHING UNIQUE
FOR MY GAME ROOM.

- OKAY.

- I'M HERE AT RICK'S RESTORATION

'CAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE SOMETHING RESTORED,

BUT I DON'T KNOW YET WHAT IT IS.

- I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOME OF THE STUFF WE HAVE.

- YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF ITEMS.

- THERE'S A
GYNECOLOGIST'S CHAIR.

THAT'S SOMETHING.

- I CAN'T SEEM TO
GET RID OF THAT.

- I WONDER WHY.

THIS IS, LIKE, THE
COKE MACHINE AREA.

THERE'S SOME ONES THAT
HOLD THE SMALL BOTTLES,

THAT ALL YOU DID
WAS PUT IN A NICKEL.

AND THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY
BEAUTIFUL DONE UP.

- I HAVE A COKE MACHINE
ALREADY, THOUGH.

- OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, HERE'S SOME
COOL STUFF OVER HERE.

- WOW, LOOK AT ALL THE MACHINES.

- YEAH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S
CIGARETTE MACHINES

OUT OF THE '40s AND '50s.

I USED TO THINK
THOSE WERE A BIG DEAL.

YOU'RE NOT INTO
SMOKING, ARE YOU?

- NO. NOT YET, SIR.

- OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THIS ROW OVER HERE IS CANDIES.

- CANDIES. NOW,
THAT'S MY FAVORITE.

- I MEAN, THESE ARE
REALLY COOL DONE UP.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE
EIGHT PULLS ON THEM.

YOU CAN PUT CANDY BARS IN THEM.

I GOT A REALLY COOL
LITTLE CANDY RIGHT THERE.

- OOH, WHAT'S THAT?

- THIS IS AN ADAMS
CANDY MACHINE.

THIS GUY'S ACTUALLY THE
PIONEER OF VENDING MACHINES.

IT HELD CHICLETS
OR THE SMALL ONES.

IT WAS A PENNY MACHINE.

WHEN YOU PUT THE PENNY
IN AND YOU PUSHED IT DOWN...

SOME OF THEM HAVE
LITTLE WEIGHTS IN THEM

TO HOLD THE CANDY DOWN.

- OH, SURE.

- WHEN WORLD WAR II CAME ABOUT,

THE VENDING MACHINES HERE
WERE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

AND THEN LATER
ON, AFTER THE WAR,

THEN THEY PICKED BACK UP AGAIN.

IN 1942, THE GOVERNMENT
STARTED RATIONING METALS

SUCH AS STEEL AND ALUMINUM

IN ORDER TO MAKE PLANES
AND TANKS FOR THE WAR,

SO PRODUCTION ON THINGS
LIKE VENDING MACHINES

CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT.

- YEAH, I'D BE VERY
INTERESTED IN THIS PIECE, RICK.

- YEAH?

- YES, ALWAYS WANTED
A NICE GUM MACHINE.

CAN YOU MAKE IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL?

- OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

HOW DO YOU SEE THIS BEING DONE?

- ORIGINAL.
- YEAH, OKAY.

OKAY, SO DO IT TOTALLY ORIGINAL.
- YEP, TOTALLY ORIGINAL.

- OKAY, AND THEN, OF COURSE,

WE'LL CHROME THE LITTLE
KNOBS UP LIKE THEY USED TO BE.

THE KEY'S BROKE OFF IN IT,

SO GETTING IT OPEN'S GONNA
BE A LITTLE BIT OF A DEAL.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN SITTING OUT.

- IT NEEDS WORK, RICK.

- YEAH, IT'S PRETTY GNARLY.

- I FEEL THAT YOU COULD
HANDLE THIS, COULDN'T YOU?

- OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
- YEAH, YEAH.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST
TO RESTORE THIS NORMALLY?

- LIKE ANYTHING, I HAVE
NO CLUE WHAT'S IN THERE.

- RIGHT.

- I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S MISSING,

'CAUSE IT'S NOT OPEN.

SO I'M SORT OF TAKING A
SHOT IN THE DARK, YOU KNOW?

- YOU WON'T KNOW
UNTIL YOU OPEN IT.

- RIGHT, I MEAN, THIS THING...

WHAT DID I BUY THIS THING FOR?

I THINK ABOUT 100 BUCKS.

SO, YOU KNOW, IF
I CLEAN IT ALL UP

AND DO IT ALL ORIGINAL,

I'M PROBABLY GONNA SELL IT
TO YOU FOR RIGHT AROUND $600.

- $600.
- YEAH.

IT'S A BIT OF WORK.

- YEAH.

IT'S A DEAL.
- ALL RIGHT.

AWESOME.

- THAT PIECE HAS BEEN OUT IN
THE DESERT FOR A LONG TIME,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S VERY RUSTED.

I HOPE HE CAN PULL IT OFF
AND MAKE IT LOOK NEW AGAIN.

- LET'S GO INSIDE AND HIT THE
ROAD TO REDEMPTION HERE.

- ALL RIGHT.

- HEY, BABE.
- HEY.

- SO HOW DID YOU DO?
- DID GOOD.

HE ENDED UP BUYING
A CHICLETS VENDOR.

AND, YEAH, HE WANTS
US TO RESTORE IT.

- THAT'S GREAT. SO
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

- MONEY.

- I NEED SOME MONEY.
- FOR WHAT?

- FOR A BARBECUE.

- OH, YEAH, THAT'S
RIGHT. I FORGOT.

EVERY YEAR, WE DO A LITTLE
FAMILY BARBECUE FOR THE GUYS.

AND THIS YEAR, KELLY
WANTS TO ORGANIZE IT.

HOW MUCH YOU NEED?
- HOW MUCH YOU GOT?

- HOW MUCH YOU NEED?

- $300.

- HOW ABOUT $100?

$200?

- I'LL TAKE IT.

THANKS.

- IF I NEGOTIATED
WITH MY CUSTOMERS

THE SAME WAY AS I DO WITH KELLY,

I'D HAVE BEEN OUT OF
BUSINESS 20 YEARS AGO.

AIN'T GONNA SEE NONE OF
THAT CHANGE, THAT'S FOR SURE.

AND FOR $200, THIS BETTER BE
THE BEST DARN BARBECUE IN VEGAS.

- ALL RIGHT.

- EARLIER, A GUY PICKED OUT

A COOL LITTLE
CHICLET GUM MACHINE

OUT OF THE BONEYARD THAT
HE'D LIKE TO GET RESTORED.

THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCK
THAT WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT

BEFORE WE START TEARING IT DOWN,

SO I'M GONNA HAVE
BRETTLY TAKE A CRACK AT IT.

- KYLE!

- WHAT'S GOING ON?

- THERE'S A KEY
STUCK IN THE HOLE,

SO I CAN'T GET TO NOTHIN'.

- WELL, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

SOMETIMES WITH RUSTED
OLD MACHINES LIKE THIS,

THE LOCK IS SO MESSED
UP, YOU HAVE TO DRILL IT OUT.

KEEP IT STRAIGHT.

WE WANT TO SHOOT IT
RIGHT THROUGH THAT LOCK.

AND WITH BRETTLY DOING IT,

IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

BE CAREFUL. THOSE
ARE KOWBOY'S DRILL BITS.

POP THAT SUCKER OPEN.

THERE YOU GO.
- OH, THERE IT IS.

- GO AHEAD AND
TAKE THAT GLASS OUT.

- I DON'T WANT TO BREAK THAT.

THERE YOU GO. SWEET.

THIS THING'S FULL OF.

- IS THERE ANY CANDY IN THERE?

- OKAY, HOW ARE YOU GONNA
GET THAT NAMEPLATE OFF?

- I HAVE NO IDEA.

- I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
GET YOU A NICE SMALL DRILL BIT.

WE GET THOSE FOUR OUT,

AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO JUST TAP IT RIGHT OUT.

GO SLOWLY.

Thud!

- I TOLD YOU TO GO SLOW.

- RECENTLY, WE GOT
A 1940s JAPANESE BIKE

THAT WE'RE GONNA RESTORE
TO FACTORY-NEW CONDITION.

WE SANDBLASTED ALL THE
GREEN PAINT OFF THE FRAME

AND CONFIRMED THAT THE
BIKE WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK.

BUT BEFORE WE CAN PAINT
IT, PHIL HAS TO BANG OUT

ABOUT 70 YEARS OF WEAR
AND TEAR ON THE FENDERS.

KELLY'S REALLY GUNG HO ABOUT
DOING THE ANNUAL BARBECUE

FOR THE GUYS.

WE USUALLY KEEP THINGS
SIMPLE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE

SHE BOUGHT ENOUGH FOOD TO
FEED HALF THE LAS VEGAS STRIP.

- HEY, SWEETIE.
- WHAT'S GOING ON?

- WELL, THIS IS ALL THE
STUFF FOR THE BARBECUE.

- BUT I JUST WANTED TO DO, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, BURGERS AND BEER,

JUST LIKE A NORMAL...
YOU KNOW, AN AVERAGE...

- WELL...
- WHAT'S THIS?

- WE ARE DOING BURGERS AND BEER.

THESE ARE VEGGIE BURGERS.

- THESE AREN'T REAL BURGERS.

THESE ARE SOMETHING
SOMEBODY MADE UP

AND THEY CALL THEM BURGERS.

- THESE ARE BURGERS.

- NONE OF MY GUYS ARE
GONNA EAT THAT CRAP.

- THEY'RE NOT GONNA
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

WE'RE GONNA PUT
SOME CHEESE ON IT.

IT'LL BE FINE.

- YOU MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE SOME BURGERS AND BEER

AT THIS BARBECUE, ALL RIGHT?

POR FAVOR.

- SO YOU WANT ME TO GO
OUT AND SPEND MORE MONEY?

- IT WOULDN'T HURT MY FEELINGS
IF YOU TOOK SOME OF IT BACK

AND EXCHANGED IT
FOR THE REAL CRAP.

- REALLY?

- I DON'T WANT TO
HURT KELLY'S FEELINGS,

BUT I GOT BIGGER HEALTH
ISSUES TO CONSIDER,

'CAUSE IF ANY OF MY GUYS
GOT TO EAT A VEGGIE BURGER

WITH LOW-FAT CHEESE,
I'M DEAD ON THE SPOT.

TRY TO GET SOME REAL
MEAT AND SOME BEER.

- LIGHT BEER.

- I MEAN, LOOK AT
THIS BODY HERE.

DOES IT LOOK LIKE
I NEED LIGHT BEER?

OKAY.

- LIGHT BEER, BABE.

- EVERYBODY'S BEEN CHIPPING IN

TO KEEP THIS 1940s
JAPANESE BICYCLE ON TRACK.

TED DID AN AMAZING JOB MOLDING
NEW PEDALS FROM THE OLD ONES,

COMPLETE WITH
THE ORIGINAL LOGOS.

AND THE SEAT WAS
TOTALLY TORN UP,

SO I HAD IT RECUSHIONED

AND REUPHOLSTERED
IN BLACK LEATHER.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE COULDN'T
FIND THE KANGAROO ORNAMENT

THAT MOUNTS ON THE FRONT FENDER,

SO TYLER'S GONNA HELP
TED MAKE ONE FROM SCRATCH.

- WHAT'S UP, TED?

MY DAD WANTED ME
TO COME TELL YOU

HE WANTED ME TO LEARN SOMETHING.

- TELL YOU WHAT.

I'M GETTING KIND OF TIRED
OF DOING THIS ANYWAY.

THE MARUISHI MASCOT
IS A KANGAROO,

AND THEY HAVE THIS FANCY
THING ON THE FRONT FENDER

THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A
ROLLS-ROYCE HOOD ORNAMENT.

AND WE'RE TRYING
TO RE-CREATE THAT

BY CARVING IT OUT OF
A CHUNK OF ALUMINUM.

IT'S ALL YOURS.
- WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

- CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PICTURE
WHAT A KANGAROO LOOKS LIKE.

COMPARE THAT PICTURE OF
THE KANGAROO IN YOUR MIND

TO WHAT YOU'RE
HOLDING IN YOUR HAND,

AND YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED
HOW WELL THAT WORKS.

- FOR THE RECORD, I'VE NEVER
CARVED ANYTHING BEFORE,

SO I'M THINKING THE
ODDS OF TOTAL FAILURE

ARE VERY MUCH IN MY FAVOR.

- TURN IT ON. ALL RIGHT.

LITTLE DIP IN THERE.

GOOD ENOUGH.

HOLD IT FIRMLY.

AND LET THE TOOL DO THE WORK.

IF YOU BEAR DOWN ON IT,
THAT'S WHEN IT'S GONNA SKIP.

THERE YOU GO.

YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE THAT MAKES FACES

WHEN YOU'RE CONCENTRATING
ON DOING SOMETHING.

- 1 DOWN, 100 TO GO.

- FOR SUCH A SMALL ITEM,

THIS CHICLET MACHINE HAS
BECOME A BIG PAIN IN THE BUTT.

BACK IN 1942, THEY ACTUALLY
MADE THE CHICLET BOXES

A LITTLE BIT SMALLER,

SO THE ONES YOU GET TODAY
JUST DON'T FIT IN THIS MACHINE.

SO TED SAVED THE DAY BY MAKING
100 TINY CHICLET BOXES BY HAND,

EACH WITH MATCHING ARTWORK
FROM THAT TIME PERIOD.

BUT WE CAN'T JUST STICK
EMPTY BOXES IN THERE,

SO BRETTLY'S FILLING ALL
100 BOXES THAT WE MADE

WITH CHICLETS THAT
WE GOT FROM THE STORE.

- MAN, THIS IS GONNA
TAKE FOREVER.

WHY AM I ALWAYS THE GUY
THAT HAS TO DO THE BORING JOBS?

- WHO'S THIS?

- I DON'T KNOW.

- HOW YOU DOIN'?
- HEY, GUYS.

- HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD.

I'M HERE TO SEE RICK.

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM AROUND?

- OH, I SAW HIM OUT IN
THE BONEYARD EARLIER.

- ALL RIGHT, I'LL
TAKE YOU. THIS WAY.

- I'M HERE AT RICK'S TO PICK
UP MY CHICLET CANDY MACHINE.

- YEAH, HE'S RIGHT OVER
THERE BY THAT SINK.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT IS.
- GREAT.

THANK YOU, TYLER.
- YEP, NO PROBLEM.

- I'M CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO
SEE WHAT IT'LL TURN OUT TO BE.

THERE HE IS.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- ALL RIGHT.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.

JUST OUT HERE RUMMAGING.

YOU HERE TO PICK
OUT SOMETHING ELSE?

- NO, I WANT TO SEE
THAT GUM MACHINE

THAT YOU DID FOR ME.

- AH, I'VE BEEN
ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR IT.

I DON'T...
- LOOKING FOR IT?

- YEAH.
- IT'S NOT READY?

- YOU KNOW, I WAS
LOOKING FOR IT BACK THERE.

- YOU LOST IT, HUH?

- LOOK IN THAT ONE THERE.
- OKAY.

- NOPE.
- JUST A BUNCH OF RUST.

- LET'S SEE IF THIS IS IN HERE.
- OKAY.

- NOPE, IT'S NOT IN THERE.
- NAH.

- WHY DON'T YOU
LOOK IN THAT ONE?

- OH, MAN!

- YOU SCORED.

- LOOKS LIKE YOU SCORED.

- THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

THAT IS GORGEOUS. MAN.

- YOU LIKE IT?
- I LOVE IT.

I LOVE THE COLORS,
THE POLISH ON IT.

IT'S VIBRANT.

IT'S GONNA LOOK SO
GREAT IN MY GAME ROOM.

I SAW IT BEFORE,
AND I SEE IT NOW.

TELL ME EXACTLY,
WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?

- WELL, I MEAN,
IT'S LIKE ANYTHING.

WE HAVE TO TEAR IT APART TO
COME DOWN TO WHAT'S MISSING,

WHAT'S GOING ON, HOW IT
WORKS, AND ALL THIS STUFF.

IN ORDER TO GET
THE FINISH LIKE THIS,

THIS REALLY SMOOTH
FINISH ON ANYTHING,

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN JUST
SLAP A COAT OF PRIMER ON THERE,

SHOOT IT WITH PAINT,
AND THERE YOU GO.

THERE'S A LOT OF
SANDING INVOLVED

TO GET THAT REAL, REAL
NICE COAT OF PAINT ON THERE.

YOU KNOW, REMEMBER
WHEN YOU GOT IT,

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY
FADED ON THE FRONT

AND THE PAINT WAS
JUST GONE, RIGHT?

IT WAS SORT OF THAT TAN
BROWN-LOOKING STUFF.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL
POWDER BLUE ON THE FRONT

WITH THE MAROON SIDES.

AND THEY HAD THIS ADAMS
DECAL ON EVERY ONE OF THEM.

AND THAT'S HOW IT LOOKED.

AND IT CAME OUT REALLY NICE.

AND ON THE INSIDE OF IT,
SOME OF THIS IS STAINLESS.

SOME OF IT'S STRAIGHT STEEL.

THE STEEL GOT SHOT WITH
THIS STUFF CALLED CAST PAINT

SO TO GIVE IT THAT CAST
PAINT LOOK AGAIN, YOU KNOW.

AND THEN ALL THE STAINLESS
STUFF GOT ALL POLISHED.

THESE ARE ALUMINUM STOPPERS.

THOSE ARE THE WEIGHTS
THAT HOLD THE GUM DOWN

AND KEEP PUSHING IT DOWN.

- AWESOME JOB.

- I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT TOO.

I REALLY LIKE THE
WAY IT TURNED OUT.

- RICK, IT LOOKS GREAT.

I'M CHOMPING AT THE BIT.

DO YOU HAVE A
PIECE OF GUM FOR IT?

- YOU WANT TO SEE IF SHE WORKS?
- YEAH, I'D LIKE TO TRY IT.

- OKAY, WELL, HERE
WE GO. HERE'S A PENNY.

- ALL RIGHT.

- AND THEN THERE'S
YOUR GUM RIGHT THERE.

- ALL RIGHT.
- TRY IT OUT.

- WHOO! YEAH.

- EXCELLENT JOB.

YOU DID A SWEET JOB.
- SWEET.

- THANK YOU, RICK.
- YOU BET, YOU BET.

- I WAS THOROUGHLY
IMPRESSED WITH THE MACHINE.

RICK DOES SUCH A GOOD JOB.

HE'S ONE OF THE
BEST. HE REALLY IS.

- IT'S BEEN A LOT OF
WORK, BUT WE'RE FINALLY

IN THE LAST STAGE OF THE
MARUISHI BIKE RESTORATION.

AND IT'S STILL COMING
TOGETHER PIECE BY PIECE.

THE CUSTOMER'S ON HIS WAY DOWN.

I SURE HOPE EVERYTHING'S
TIP-TOP BEFORE HE GETS HERE.

THIS THING IS BADASS.

- HOW'S IT GOING, BUDDY?

- PRETTY GOOD. YOU?

- GOOD.

- CAME DOWN TO RICK'S
RESTORATION TODAY

TO PICK UP MY MARUISHI BICYCLE.

- YOU'RE THE MARUISHI GUY.

RICK!

THE MARUISHI GUY'S HERE!

- AWESOME.

- IT WAS JUST AWESOME TO
WATCH HIM RIDE THAT BIKE OUT.

I MEAN, IT JUST
TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY.

AND IT JUST STANDS RIGHT
OUT AND SAYS, "LOOK AT ME."

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- IT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR,

SOMETHING THAT CAME
OFF A SHOWROOM FLOOR,

JUST LIKE YOU GO DOWN
AND BUY IT AT A BIKE STORE.

- IT WAS ONE JAPANESE NIGHTMARE.

IT HAD SO MUCH PAINT ON IT,

YOU DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT WAS THERE.

YOU KNOW, THEY KEPT
COVERING IT WITH THE GREEN.

AND AS YOU WERE
TEARING IT APART,

IT WAS LIKE HIDDEN
LITTLE SECRETS ON IT.

- AT LEAST YOU GOT ALL THE
PAINT OUT OF THE EMBLEM.

- YEAH, ALL THE EMBLEMS.

IT WASN'T JUST
LIKE A NORMAL BIKE.

IT'S VERY ORNATE, YOU KNOW?

THEY WENT TO EXTRA DETAIL
ON THIS THING, YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE THESE
PEDALS, YOU KNOW?

THEY WERE STAMPED WITH
THEIR NAME IN IT LIKE THAT.

SO WE MADE THEM OUT
OF A COMPOSITE MATERIAL.

I WAS DUMBFOUNDED.

THAT'S HOW GOOD A
JOB THEY CAME OUT.

I MEAN, THEY LOOK
ORIGINAL ON THERE.

- SO WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

- WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE BOX?

WELL, I WAS JUST SHOWING
YOU THAT, YOU KNOW,

IT WAS A CARRIER, YOU KNOW?

HE'D BE HAULING SOMETHING.

- HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB.

AND HE SUPERCEDED
MY EXPECTATIONS

OF WHAT I WAS THINKING
IT WAS GONNA LOOK LIKE.

- THE HARDEST PART ON
THIS WHOLE RESTORATION

IS PARTS, YOU KNOW?

IT CAME IN PROBABLY
90%, BUT THAT 10%...

- WAS THE WORST.
- WAS THE WORST.

I MEAN, I'D MUCH RATHER HAD
THE 10% IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW.

SO THIS KANGAROO THAT
WAS ON THE FRONT OF THIS,

TED SPENT HOURS AND
HOURS CARVING THAT PIECE OUT

OUT OF A PIECE OF
ALUMINUM, YOU KNOW?

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
NICE TO FIND ONE OF THOSE,

BUT THAT THING'S
BUILT JUST LIKE IT WAS.

HE JUST TOOK THE
PICTURE AND WENT, "EH."

THE SEAT CAME IN,

SO WE TOOK IT DOWN
TO THE UPHOLSTERER,

AND HE STRETCHED THAT STUFF
OUT AND MADE IT LOOK JUST LIKE,

YOU KNOW, IT
WOULD'VE IN THE DAY.

A LOT OF THE PARTS WERE
PITTED, BEYOND PITTED,

SO WE HAD TO POLISH
IT OUT SO IT'D LOOK NICE.

- WELL, LOOKING AT IT...

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE TAKEN SOMETHING
AND TURNED IT INTO, YOU KNOW,

A PIECE OF ART.

- YEAH, THANKS.

- I MEAN, YOU DID A REALLY
GOOD JOB, AND I APPRECIATE IT.

- YOU BET. YOU'RE
HAPPY, I'M HAPPY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GO INTO THE OFFICE.

AND THEN I'LL HAVE
SOMEBODY HELP YOU LOAD THAT.

- I CAN'T WAIT TO
RIDE IT THIS WEEKEND.

I REALLY CAN'T WAIT.

- COME AND GET IT.

- THE ANNUAL BARBECUE
IS FINALLY HERE,

AND KELLY PULLED EVERYBODY
TOGETHER FOR A GREAT TIME.

I JUST HOPE NO ONE REALIZES
WE HAVE VEGGIE BURGERS.

OTHERWISE, MY HEAD'S
GONNA END UP ON THE GRILL.

- WHAT IS THAT CRAP?

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

- OH-OH!

- ALL RIGHT, I WANTED
TO THANK EVERYBODY.

AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
PUT OUT THE AMAZING PRODUCTS

THAT WE ACTUALLY DO WITHOUT
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE
WORKING WITH Y'ALL, YOU KNOW?

- PLEASE.
