Ep 16. Danny Takes the Heat

Danny Takes the Heat is the 16th episode of the third season of Counting Cars. The show revolves around Danny "The Count" Koker, the owner of Count's Kustoms, a custom automobile restoration and customization shop in Las Vegas. In each episode, Danny and his team restore and customize a variety of vehicles, from classic cars to motorcycles, for clients and for resale.

In this episode, Danny Takes the Heat, the crew at Count's Kustoms faces a challenging new project: restoring a classic 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. The car is in rough shape, having been abandoned in a field for over 20 years. Danny and his team must strip the car down to its frame and rebuild it from the ground up, using original parts and painstaking attention to detail.

Complicating matters is the hot Nevada sun, which makes working on the car a sweat-drenched, exhausting task. The team must take frequent breaks and stay hydrated to avoid heat exhaustion and dehydration. But despite the challenges, Danny and his crew are determined to make the Challenger R/T shine again.

As they work on the car, Danny reflects on his love of classic American muscle cars. He shares stories of his childhood, when he would ride his bike to the local auto garage to admire the cars and dream of owning one someday. He talks about how he got started in the car restoration business, and the joy he gets from transforming old, neglected cars into works of art.

Hot on the heels of the Dodge Challenger project, the team takes on another challenging restoration: turning a 1959 Ford Fairlane into a sleek, modern hot rod. The car's owner wants the team to chop the top, remove the door handles, and give it a custom paint job. Danny and his crew get to work with their usual enthusiasm and skill, but as always, unexpected complications arise, from rusty body panels to stubborn bolts.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at life at Count's Kustoms. They meet the members of Danny's team, each of whom brings a unique set of skills and personalities to the shop.
