Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: BONOVOX on December 06, 2014, 09:37:54 pm Oh No!
Where are people going to get their Vendo 39 conversions from?!? Under the tables of all swap meets will never be the same again! :glare: Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: Creighton on December 07, 2014, 12:13:13 am Suspect the Halloween costume was the last straw :-)
Creighton Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: Kilroy on December 07, 2014, 05:02:16 pm Halloween costume? I stopped watching a while ago
Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: Creighton on December 09, 2014, 03:01:30 am This is the costume. $80 at the shop.

At one of my local shows selling lamps a few weeks ago a guy showed up asking if I'd be interested in restoring his vintage fan, but his real dream was to send it off to Rick instead. Just about drove me crazy, I ended up giving him a couple of names of folks on the forum after trying to explain that stuff wasn't always as it seems on TV.

Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: BONOVOX on December 10, 2014, 07:33:27 am Reruns of American Restorations are converting to Seinfelds......
They found scripts under a table at a swap meet.

I must agree with Tom. I have an 81 in my shop for restoration right now. Customer inquired to Rick's about restoring it. They told him 6 to 12 months and $10,000. Title: Re: American Restoration Officially Canceled on History Post by: BeaYoung on December 13, 2014, 04:49:38 am Tell your customer to wait 6 months.. i'll be two days and $1500. LOL!
