Ultimate Restorations

Audience favorite Doug Klink and his crew at Reliance Fire Museum are restoring this American La France which isn't really all American La France. Seagrave fire engine parts were incorporated giving this fire truck its interesting history. In part one, we learn about how it goes back together in preparation to run once again!

In part two, Doug Klink and his crew continue assembling the fire engine and face off with the monstrous engine of the mysterious 1927 American La France. The engine hides another mystery all its own and the results are explosive!

These restorers are removing one of the oldest bridges in the U.S. from its decrepit state over a creek to disassemble and restore at its new location. Moving a bridge of this size is no easy task because it is 140 years old and very frail. It is almost lost as it's suspended in the air. But all ends well and the disassembly begins in preparation for the restoration.

In part two, the team has successfully cleaned and inspected all the many pieces of this iron masterpiece bowstring bridge. Now it must be put back together in its new and final location, and they discover it was put together wrong 140 years ago. But now it's ready for another 140 years.
