 The series focuses on "Rick's Restorations", a company owned and operated by Las Vegas area metal artist and antique restoration expert Rick Dale, who has been restoring various vintage items for almost 30 years.Dale and his company first appeared on the History reality television series "Pawn Stars", in that show's first-season episode "Time Machines," and in nine subsequent episodes in which he restored numerous decades-old items for the Harrisons (owners of the "Gold and Silver Pawn Shop" where "Pawn Stars" takes place), including vending machines, gas pumps, barber chairs, motorcycles, and jukeboxes.Beginning with the June 6, 2012 episode ("Dirt Bike Duels"), a new feature, "Rick's Tips", was added preceding the second commercial break, in which Rick poses a question related to restoration, similar to the trivia question feature on "Pawn Stars".
