A customer wants a 1940s Maruishi bicycle restored, including reverting it to its original color. Originally black, the bike had later been painted green. The bike had much sturdier parts than normal bicycles, making for an easier restoration job. The handlebars are rechromed, having previously been painted. The front fender ornament, a kangaroo, is missing, so Ted has to re-create one. He also gives Tyler a lesson in metal carving. Meanwhile, Rick shows a customer around the boneyard, where the customer finds a Chiclets vending machine. Brettley and Kyle primarily work on this project. As Chiclet packages no longer fit such a machine, Ted creates custom, vintage-style packages for the dispenser. Brettley is assigned to fill them and place them in the machine. Meanwhile, Kelly is preparing for the company's annual barbecue dinner. She borrows $200, which she spends on veggie burgers, light beer, and low fat cheese (much to Rick's dismay). At the barbecue, the burgers are not met with much approval.
