American Restoration Season 2 Episode 5 Buck Wild

In American Restoration season 2 episode 5, titled Buck Wild, the team at Rick's Restorations takes on a unique challenge: restoring an old mechanical bucking bull.

Owner Ralph has had the bull for years and used to rent it out for events, but it has fallen into disrepair over time. The machine no longer works properly, and the exterior has rusted and faded. Ralph hopes that Rick and his team can bring it back to its former glory so that he can continue to rent it out.

The first step in the restoration process is to disassemble the bull and assess the damage. The team discovers that there are several broken gears and other mechanical components that need to be replaced. Fortunately, they are able to find replacement parts that are compatible with the bull's original design.

Once the mechanical components have been repaired, it's time to turn to the exterior. The bull's paint is worn and faded, and there are patches of rust throughout. The team carefully removes the rust and applies a fresh coat of paint that matches the original color scheme.

But the restoration process is far from over. The team also needs to upholster the bull's seat and exterior with new materials. They carefully select a durable yet attractive fabric that will hold up to repeated use.

Finally, the bull is reassembled and tested. The team brings in a professional rider to put the machine through its paces and ensure that it's working properly. The rider agrees that the restored bull is just as good as new.

Ralph is thrilled with the results, and the team is proud to have restored such a unique piece of Americana. The bull is now ready to be rented out for events once again, and Rick's Restorations has once again proven that they have the expertise and knowledge to take on any restoration challenge.
