Ep 13. Framed

In Counting Cars season 1 episode 13, titled "Framed," viewers follow Danny "The Count" Koker and his crew at Count’s Kustoms as they take on a unique project. The episode starts with a customer coming to the shop with a set of antique license plates from the year of his birth. He wants the plates restored and displayed in a custom frame.

Danny and his team take up the challenge, and they start by working on the frame. They decide to use an actual car frame to build the display case. They search their inventory and find a perfect match, a frame from a 1930s Ford Model A pickup truck.

The team then works on restoring the license plates. They carefully remove layers of rust and grime to reveal the original letters and numbers on the plates. They use a chemical process to restore the plates, and the results are impressive.

Once the plates are restored, they start working on the display case. They cut and shape the metal frame from the truck to fit the plates, and they attach a glass cover to protect the plates. They also add a backlight to enhance the display.

While working on the project, the team faces some challenges. They realize that the frame they picked is slightly bent, and they have to fix it. They also face some difficulties when working with the glass cover. It cracks during installation, and they have to start again.

In the midst of all this, Danny receives a phone call from his friend Kevin Mack, a renowned artist. Kevin has a new sculpture he wants Danny to check out and possibly buy. The sculpture is a giant metal spider made from car parts, and it is a stunning work of art.

Danny decides to go and see the sculpture. He takes along with him Kevin and Horny Mike, one of the team members at Count’s Kustoms. They meet Kevin Mack, who takes them to his studio to see the spider. The sculpture is even more impressive in person, and Danny wants to buy it for the shop.

Back at the shop, the team finally finishes the license plate project. They install the custom frame on the wall, and it looks amazing. The customer is thrilled with the result and cannot stop admiring his antique plates.

The episode ends with Danny showing off the spider sculpture he bought from Kevin Mack. He plans to display it in the showroom at Count’s Kustoms, and it promises to be a unique addition to the shop.

In conclusion, "Framed" is a captivating episode of Counting Cars that showcases Danny and his crew’s talent for transforming old, rusty car parts into stunning works of art.
