The Real Reason American Restoration Ended

[@chicchacchula]

Like many other shows, the writers come in and screw up a popular format. People liked watching Rick and his crew transform unique items and bring them back to brand new condition. It was interesting to watch and their work was impressive. Then the writers come in and say we need to write a bunch of story lines for this show. We need to write in drama and conflicts between the characters because that’s what we think people want to see. Nope. We wanted to see them do restorations. You can keep your fake drama stories that are only meant to justify writers being attached to the show.

Rick is/ was a real business, and Rick was real. A friend here in Australia went over to usa for holiday, and being a car guy he went to visit Rick , and said Rick was a super awesome guy who had time to talk and chat to my friend and his wife. He even showed them around the shop. It's typical of power hungry people (the producers) of a show who have stupid ideas and they are the ones who kill good things like Rick's Restorations show.

[@ecclestonsangel]

I'm really sorry this happened to Rick. I really liked his show a lot.(yes, I'm a girl, but I like a lot of those vintage items, like old Coke machines). When they came out with the last season and Rick was gone, I dumped it. I absolutely HATED the format change, and it became all about restoring cars. Uh....we had Danny's Counting Cars for that. I hate when the suits come in and screw everything up. I wish Rick Dale all the best, and hope he and his family are doing well for themselves.

[@Rich-kp1eu]

Agree with you. The format change was a disaster. It was so disjointed, you didn't know what was what. I liked Counting Cars in the beginning, but they are on the verge of ruining that with all of the fake BS.

The suits were like politicians and cockroaches. It wasn't so much what they did but what they got into and screwed up! Rick and his family were a refreshing change to most of the fakery going on at the time on television. Who wants to waste their time and electricity on a show that is so obviously scripted?

[@anthonyj.adventures9736]

Many years ago before American restoration. Ricks business restored a original red Ryder wagon i got in an auction. He was referred by a place in PA. I mailed it out. It came back a few months later fully restored and with a refund and letter explaining it didn't take as long as projected and he's returning the balance. That's honesty. I sent a few small things there since. Amazing amazing work, a bit expensive but the quality of workmanship is there.

[@Yarrb53]

Rick was a great insulation to me. My hobby was restoring old items, old bicycles thrown in the trash, worn out machinery and a Honda generator that came out looking like new. He made the show fun, and there wasn't too much family drama, like the Chopper show ! Just pure entertainment and a great talent. Like others have said here, writers and producers have a way of F**King popular shows up. Not everyone is like the Kardashian's !

[@williamcochell9889]

I can debunk the theory that Rick’s restorations was not a real business. The first location originally filmed at was a home in pool in a front and the sharps and the paint bays were originally stables. It was on an acre and a half out on North John’s. I lived on that property and sold it to Rick as his realtor and got to know him working with him. Also his brother and his wife. He was a great guy really enjoyed working with him and his family !

[@delbertreno8089]

I was a great fan of the early shows, They were Great! They focused on the how to and the methods of repairing the broken items and I loved it. But the later ones went to so much fake drama, and it was about the shill in the sales. You bring in your rusted relic, He tells you how rusty grungy and terrible it is and then come back and pick it up and look how Marvelous we made it. Okay the old show made it about how we made it that way! The newer ones never showed the workman ship that went into the restoration and that to me was the heart of the show

[@jccrown2187]

When it comes to the refurbished antique world, such as cars, coke machines, and the list goes on…. Most of the time it makes more financial sense to buy an item that has been restored versus having an item restored. People have to understand that individuals who are paying for a restoration are not only paying for that specific item to be given life again, but are also preserving family history or personal memories, which is why they are willing to pay more for an item than what it is actually worth. Skilled labor is not cheap. Rick’s restorations did great work and Rick was fun to watch. He is a true American, which is why the show was famous around the world.

[@steveclark..]

So true, nothing is that cheap anymore, parts alone for my 80's motorcycle can add up, I couldn't afford to pay someone else to work on it. Some home/hobby builders of my make & model do make me laugh though, when they do decide to put the bike up for sale, the price is so high, it's like they have added all the hours/time that they have put into it.

[@peterlucas2998]

I liked this show. It was a lot of fun to watch the restorations and I was always amazed how much money people were willing to throw at Rick to get stuff restored. My theory for why the show was cancelled is a lot simpler and more than likely closer to what happened. Rick asked " Pay me more money per episode, please." The shows producers said" nope "; we don't need Rick. Rick said " Good luck with that" and the rest is history.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

I think you're right on the money. Although I believe that Rick just plain old got greedy. Some of the quotes he was giving people were astronomical. I watched one where a gentleman came in and wanted to get his father's antique gas saw restored. It was a small item maybe a foot by two at best and Rick quoted him fourty five hundred dollars for the job. Fourty five hundred. That's beyond ridiculous and the guy ended up walking away. Smart man.

[@peterlucas2998]

Tell me about, one item sticks out for me was an art deco kids tricycle with fully valanced wheels, think Indian motorcycle. It was not in bad shape. Needed paint and chrome work plus new rubber on the wheels. Rick quoted some insane number and the guy just paid it. I just shook my head and laughed .

[@MGower4465]

So many times, the "wise TV guys" decide to "tweak" a series and kill the series. A few times the tweaks are to head off a ratings slide, but too often its because the network decides to show the actors up. It rarely seems to work like the network expects. But network bosses are among the most out-of-touch rich people on the planet. And they don't bither to gather data, they just axe shows and move the survivors around based on personal preferences, forgetting that they are running a business.

[@peanutbutterisfu]

Yeah some stuff seemed high but it takes a lot of time if you want to pound dents out of metal and not just fill it in with bondo, hand painted lettering. Then finding original parts you might need you gotta pay ur employee to find the parts, they might need to drive far to get them and every hour ur employee is working even if they are on the internet searching for a part you have to charge the customer for that time. It’s very expensive to run a business much more then anyone would think. As a business owner myself in New York If you pay someone 20 bucks an hour it costs the business close to 25 bucks an hour to pay them 20 by the time you pay for Insurance’s, pay roll company fees and that doesn’t even include benefits like health insurance or retirement plans. So many stupid bills come up that you would never even think of. I just had to pay my yearly insurance audit fee $800 and some stupid yearly payroll fee $500 that’s 1300 bucks this week for literally nothing everyone has their hands out when u own a business. You can have a great month made a ton of money then an expensive piece of equipment breaks down and now all the money you made last month is paying for that equipment, then a few months later u open the shop up and ur air compressor breaks down there goes a few more grand, then the next year you need to put a roof on ur building it just doesn’t stop. People see all the money coming into a business but don’t understand what it really costs to run it. My business is a auto repair shop, it’s just me and one employee and sometimes I will have a part time guy helping out so it’s a small business and only been open just over 2 years. I’ve had a month where I profited 16,000 bucks but the 3 months prior I broke even every month, then the next month was slow so it pretty much evens itself out and I can’t pay myself the 16k profit because I don’t know what’s going to happen so I need to keep the money in the business account and just pay myself the minimum that I need. Many business owners that aren’t good with business will pay themselves all the profits them make when times are good then when the slow season comes they don’t have enough money to keep the business open or something comes up. I had an employee complain to me that I should have paid him more the one month that I made a lot of money so I told him what about the 3 months where we made nothing? When the country shut down I was paying you out of my personal pocket because the business barely made enough money to pay rent and bills so when that happens should I pay you less money? I paid you the same money when then shop wasn’t making anything you were getting paid to sit in a chair waiting for the phone to ring or a customer to walk in the door then we have a good month that made me catch up financially and I should pay you more because we actually had to work? Get out of here. I could have laid him off and in the situation he was in he wouldn’t have gotten unemployment so he would have made no money, I didn’t even need him working for me because there was nothing to do but I felt bad that he wouldn’t get unemployment so I kept him employed which nobody would have done it was a bad decision on my part to pay an employee when I didn’t need him, had I laid him off my shop would have stayed profitable not much but would have. But customers and employees for the most part just don’t understand any of this they just think of ur a business owner ur rich and for the most part that’s just not true many of us make a regular amount of money, I made more money working for someone because it takes years to get the business to the point it’s making real money plus I’m putting a lot of money back into the business buying equipment and what not. And for what it’s worth when a business owner has a business that is making some good money they should be making good money because of everything they had to deal with getting to that point all the sacrifices they made to get to that point. People think the word profit is a dirty word for business owners it’s so annoying I hate when people talk down about their boss behind their backs saying stuff like they got it easy and make so much money yeah well if you want to do that you can too. Took me many years of basically working 2 full time jobs at once saving money living like I had no money to be able to have enough money to open a business and I had to do this twice because my first business I was scammed and lost a lot of money, plus all the years I spent learning what I need to know. For 5 years all my friends were going out all the time having a great time, everyone was always asking my why I don’t go out anymore. Then I open a business and some friends say stupid comments and I tell them yeah you remember that 5 plus years when I never went out partying with you guys? Well that’s how I got this business! I didn’t have a rich family member or anything I had to make it happen for myself. Lots of people think it’s impossible to be able to save up the money I had to and many others have had to so they can open their business but it’s not you just have to have the drive to do it. Everyone wants the easy way out well it’s not easy! The easy way out is to just work for someone ur entire life and not have to worry about anything.

The episode I remember him quoting a woman $5,000 to restore a pedal car. It was a rather small one very rounded shape with no doors. So there’s a shell, 4 wheels, axle, 2 pedals, 2 connector rods, steering wheel and front steering system. Maybe the writers told him to quote $5,000 and told her to agree? I saw in another video that the network dropped him after complaints from his customers that he was paid and not finishing his work.

Man I remember watching this as a kid. It was one of the things that I wait to watch every night.

This video completely missed the fact that Rick moved to a new location here in Las Vegas in 2015 before shutting down again in 2019 to pursue his newest endeavor. His son Tyler has his own hot rod building shop now. I know this because I delivered parts and equipment to both of them for years before I switched shipping contracts with my Truck.

I enjoyed very much watching Rick and his restoration show I hope that they bring them back it was an exciting show to watch antiques coming back to life

[@nicholaskarako5701]

I would think without the backing of a major network Rick just wasn't able to afford the overhead to ran/ staff his business. When business was slow and had to scale down his operation by laying of most of the staff. To eventually having to close up his shop. I was a fan of the show when it was on the air with the Rick Dale crew.

I miss the show. Did not care for the family drama but I loved seeing the work being done.

[@thesmallerhalf1968]

After about 8 minutes we are no wiser as to what happened to this program, the business and the people involved.

[@sumbuddy63]

I'm glad I saw this video because I was without a clue as to where one of my favorite shows went. I just tuned in one day to watch and a whole new crew were on. Still don't have all the answers but it's more than I had before seeing this. Thank you.

[@night-x6793]

Maybe he should do simple videos explaining the best way to restoration work on random things.

[@gloriab.2191]

They need to bring back this show I loved watching the work they did.

[@JAAB9296]

The real possible reason the show was cancelled was because if his wife Kelly. Really, cannot prove it, however I'm really, really good personalities and attitudes. Spent my entire carrier in sales, business to business and business to induvial (one example of a business to induvial would be working for Schwan's home services, the other example would be selling both super high-end cars to selling new Fords) Anyway, if one was to pay attention to Kelly, it was obvious she had a attitude, probably got the producers face many times. I do think Rick truly loves Kelly and seemed easygoing and would put-up with her attitude (s) , most likely also had a big head as well.

Ex stripper..? Just guessing

[@steveb4012]

I used to love this show, Rick always seemed such a nice guy and his work was astounding.

[@WaynePryce]

Thanks for clearing up things🤔

[@markmcbride5900]

Rick always did a great job on his show and should still have a series!

[@robertajennings3815]

Always enjoyed the show,,,truth is average person cannot afford to pay 10 times what an item cost New to restore something,,,when it's worn out buy new, make a trip to the dumpster,

[@victorbrunswick]

That's the whole problem! At one time things were made to be fixed. Little mom and pop fixit or repair shops were once a cottage industry that dotted the landscape.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I have no doubt that Rick wasn't gonna put up with crap from the networks. A down to earth guy that reads through their bullshit

[@bigmontana2838]

American Restoration was one of my favorite shows on History. I hated the 7th season as they could see Rick was the face of the show. History needs to bring this show back

[@ginagalvan3505]

I miss shows like this.... this was one of my favorites as well as Storage Wars

[@fransiscoscaramanga674]

loved the show, Rick and his crew did amazing restorations, their work was top-notch, loved some of the characters like kowboy, i wish they would bring the show back..

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

They charged too much...

[@fransiscoscaramanga674]

@@miguelcastaneda7236 ok you no good mexi-can't....whatever you say....... never mind that Rick and his crew are still in business....... but., according to you, they charge too much... he provides a service, he names a price......you don't like the price, good-bye...

[@YeahNahMaybe947]

It was real popular here in Australia, bring back Rick.

[@shawneldridge4465]

This show was awesome and there's no question about it, that needs to come back on with all new episodes

[@KrazyJohnny]

I hated reality shows but this guy was as real as it gets and everyone on it was a good person.
