American Restoration, which aired on the History Channel, featured Rick Dale and his team at Rick’s Restorations as they restored vintage items to their original glory. Kowboy was a part of this team and brought a unique skill set to the table, particularly with his knowledge of metal restoration and fabrication.
During his time on the show, Kowboy became a fan favorite due to his straightforward attitude and his ability to tackle tough restoration projects. However, behind the scenes, there were tensions and disagreements that eventually led to his departure. The specifics of these disagreements were not made public, but it is not uncommon for reality TV shows to experience conflicts among cast members and producers.
After leaving American Restoration, Kowboy continued to work in the field of metal restoration and fabrication. He maintained a lower profile compared to his time on television but remained active in the industry. The show itself underwent significant changes in later seasons, with an entirely new cast replacing the original team, including Rick Dale.
