Secret Restoration

A surprise between two brothers, PJ contends with body work, paint, throttle issues and more on a 1980s Honda Minibike. Meanwhile, restorers Leah and Dave try to bring a father's 1968 Schwinn Sting-Ray back to life for his bike-loving son. Also, master tinkerer, Alfred, works to bring back an antique cash register's shine and David gives an old washing machine a new purpose.

Dave is thrilled when he and Leah answer the call to restore an 1800s cannon as a surprise to a history-loving husband, but the cannon is in rough shape. Meanwhile, Sara takes on the very detailed restoration of a 5th generation model ship covered in decades of dust and grime. As Sara brings the ship back to life, Alfred and Leah try to make a hundred-year-old Grafonola record player carry a tune and look good doing it. They divide and conquer with Leah refinishing the outside and Alfred getting the mechanism running again. While they work together, LA restores an old chest to become a new family heirloom.

Twin brothers call on PJ and Alfred to restore a beat-up boardwalk fortune teller into a gift for their hard-working dad. Meanwhile, Sara is working on the seemingly impossible task of rebuilding a mother's shattered vase and turns to a creative solution. Leah restores a 1900s steamer trunk as a gift from one cousin to another celebrating their love of travel and their friendship. Across the shop, David turns a rusted gas pump into a work of art for an automobilia collector.

Alfred's tinkering skills are put to the test when a performer brings in her manager's broken jukebox while "Hot Rod" PJ steps in to give it a rocking paint job. While the jukebox gets its rock n' roll back, Fireman Dave rescues a barber shop chair that was damaged in a fire. Across the shop, Leah reinvigorates a world-famous Charlie McCarthy dummy with an updated look, while Sara reconstructs a Black Forest cuckoo clock for a couple with a fun love story.

A wife brings PJ the car of her husband's dreams, a 1990s Corvette, but it needs a complete overhaul. David and Sara bet on their ability to save a very early pinball game and Alfred breathes new life into a rare German accordion.

A wife gets Alfred's help to surprise her husband with a classic Fender Mustang guitar. Dave works his metal magic to restore a cast iron stove. While Sara makes an old desk gleam, PJ turns an old golf cart into a flashy classic ride.

PJ and the restoration team are arcade heroes who bring a classic video game back to life, while LA makes a sailor's tool chest seaworthy once again. Meanwhile, a classic Kodak camera goes from the junk drawer to picture perfect, and a father gives his daughter a family treasure.

The restorers are stitchin' and grippin' as they refurbish a vintage Singer sewing machine that is a cherished heirloom and bring a carnival grip tester back to its original glory. A caned rocking chair gets completely restored while Leah helps a dad surprise his son by turning an antique phone booth into a recording studio.

The entire team pitches in to transform disassembled 1980s animatronic figures into a horse-themed robot band. Meanwhile, a surfboard meets its maker, and a farmer is surprised with a corn sheller he has long admired.

In this episode, we revisit the BEST OF season one of Secret Restoration. We'll rate everything from the coolest rides restored, to the most valuable, and the most rock and roll.
