Ep 2. Danny's Fabulous Ferrari

Danny and the team at Count's Kustoms are back for another exciting season of building and restoring some of the coolest cars on the planet. In the second episode of season 10, titled "Danny's Fabulous Ferrari," the crew takes on the challenge of restoring a classic 1976 Ferrari Dino.

The Ferrari Dino has always been a bit of an enigma in the world of sports cars. While it bears the Ferrari name, it was actually designed and built by a company called Dino, which was founded by Enzo Ferrari's son. The Dino name was used for a series of mid-engined sports cars produced by Ferrari from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. The cars were powered by V6 engines, which was a departure from Ferrari's usual V12 engines.

Danny and the Count's Kustoms team are no strangers to restoring classic cars, but the Ferrari Dino presents a unique challenge. The car is rare, with only a few thousand ever produced, and parts can be difficult to come by. Danny starts by taking a close look at the car to assess what needs to be done to bring it back to its former glory. The car is in rough shape, with rust and damage to the body and interior.

The team starts by carefully disassembling the car and taking stock of all the parts that need to be replaced or restored. They begin by removing the engine and transmission, which are sent out to be rebuilt. Meanwhile, the body of the car is stripped down to bare metal and any rust is removed. The team then sets to work repairing any damage to the body and replacing any missing or broken parts.

Once the body is repaired and prepped, it's time for the paint job. Danny has a specific color scheme in mind for the car, and he works closely with the team to make sure the final result is flawless. The team meticulously applies multiple coats of paint and clear coat, ensuring a deep, rich color with a mirror-like finish.

Next up is the interior. The seats, dash, and door panels all need to be restored or replaced. The team works with a specialist to recreate the original upholstery, and the car is fitted with a new steering wheel and custom gauges. The end result is a stunning interior that perfectly complements the car's exterior.

With the body, engine, and interior all restored and in top condition, the final step is to put everything back together. The team carefully reassembles the car, ensuring that everything is done to factory specifications. Once the car is fully assembled, Danny takes it out for a test drive to make sure everything is working properly.

The finished product is a true masterpiece. The Ferrari Dino looks and performs just like it did when it rolled off the factory line back in 1976. It's a testament to the skill and dedication of the team at Count's Kustoms that they were able to take on such a challenging project and turn it into such a stunning work of art.

Overall, "Danny's Fabulous Ferrari" is a must-watch episode for any car enthusiast. The restoration of the Ferrari Dino is a masterclass in automotive craftsmanship and a showcase of the incredible talent at Count's Kustoms.
