Rick and his team will begin to feel the pressure to meet their deadlines on two projects, so they hurry to restore an antique Hershey's dispenser from the 1940s and a 1950s Kelvinator Refrigerator for their waiting customers.
Watched both episodes.. insane what some people will do and pay to restore something.. me, I'd rather have something as close to 100% original as I could get it. Even if it's rusted out, I think it has more value than something that has essentially been rebuilt with a multitude of replacement parts and new paint.
