In , the couple became co-owners of Rick Restorations, and Kelly helped Rick control the business operations of the antique restoration shop, including handling payroll, ordering parts, maintaining the budget, and customer relations. Fans were shocked when the entire cast was fired after the sixth season of the show. The show was renewed for a seventh season, but American restoration without the Dale family did not cut it for fans, and the show was finally scrapped off in To add fuel to the fire, reports claim Rick and Kelly Dale were forced to close down their antique restoration business.
Kelly has been off the radar since, but that does not mean the famous reality star has not done big things. Although fans know Kelly for her operational and marketing expertise at Rick Restorations, Kelly has more skills up her sleeves.
The man has a unique ability and a very distinctive style of transforming old and battered items into unrecognizable and stunningly beautiful pieces. However, behind every great man, there's a woman, and Rick's wife Kelly helped him run the business, taking care of administration jobs of the store like payroll, budgets, customer relations, etc. The couple married during the show's 3rd season. Even though Rick and Kelly no longer appear on the show or in their shop, their website is still up and running.
However, he is very active on social media and is working and keeping active, albeit on different things. They sell a bunch of cool merchandise there, such as Christmas hangings, laser-cut decors, etc.
On the side, Dale has also become an author, publishing his book Classic Soda Machines. He had been working with Rick in the shop since he was just two years old. Rick wanted Taylor to take over the family shop one day, however, the boy was slightly laid-back and preferred to do things at his own pace. Others will amuse you. Either way, you'll have a better understanding of the inner workings of a top reality show. If you head out to Rick's Restoration in Las Vegas, you can take a tour of the facility -- but you may not want to.
The tour has gotten some bad reviews from visitors. A common complaint is that there are two editions of it, neither particularly impressive. The five-dollar version only lasts ten minutes and gives you little more than access to the gift shop, where they'll be happy to help you part with your money.
There's virtually no chance of seeing anyone from the show. You can peek at the shop through windows, but no pictures are allowed. The fifty-dollar version doesn't give you much more.
At least they give you free shipping! Nothing hurts a business like screwing over the customers. A website called the Vegas Tourist alleges that Rick Dale acted dishonorably toward someone acquiring his services. The story goes that year-old Angel Delgadillo agreed to let American Restoration film in his memorabilia shop.
He asked Rick to repair an old jukebox that he wanted to use to entertain guests in his store. Two months later, the jukebox was returned. It looked better, but allegedly still didn't function, and the hefty check had been cashed.
Delgadillo's letters and phone calls asking for the job to be done right were reportedly not returned. Only after this story gained traction online did Rick arrange for the jukebox to be restored by someone who specialized in electronics, at his own expense. Season seven cast member Dale Walksler isn't afraid of a fight.
The owner of the Wheels Through Time Museum helped turn what should have been a normal town council meeting in Maggie Valley, North Carolina into a four-hour circus, complete with yelling, name-calling, and insults. He was the leading voice in a movement to prevent the town from granting a permit for a fellow business owner to reopen his bar. Among Walksler's claims were that when the bar was originally operational, it had a seedy clientele of biker gangs and drug users who wandered into his museum's parking lot, leaving needles and used condoms behind.
Walksler got so out of control during the meeting that he had to be repeatedly reprimanded by the officials in charge, not that he listened to them. Incidentally, the bar was allowed to reopen despite his protests. When you watch American Restoration , the finished products come out sparkling. It really looks as though Rick and the guys have done a superb job of bringing those old, beat-up objects back to life.
Oftentimes, their work really is that good. There's a lot of talent among the crew, for sure. However, fans on websites like Corvette Forum have griped that the work is actually sometimes on the shoddy side.
One commenter pointed to an episode involving a McCulloch Go Kart as an example, citing the fact that the tires had visibly been mounted crookedly, causing them to wobble when it moved. Others have spotted chipped paint in spots of the restorations. Still others level charges that Rick radically overcharges for the work he does, asking exorbitant fees for something that would be much cheaper if done by an "ordinary" person. What would any good reality show be without a really colorful supporting character?
In the case of American Restoration , that role is fulfilled by a man who only goes by the nickname "Kowboy. Apparently, this isn't just an act for the cameras. Vandalyn Wilkerson Mar 15, at pm.
