Ep 21. Charger Surprise

In Counting Cars season 3 episode 21, titled Charger Surprise, the team at Counts Kustoms is about to get a big surprise. Gary, a loyal customer of the shop, had a rare 1969 Charger that he had always wanted to get restored. However, he had bought the car refurbished in the past and it had turned out to be a lemon. The engine was not the right size for the car, and the paintwork was shoddy at best. So Gary had decided to give the car one last chance by bringing it to Counts Kustoms, hoping that the team would be able to work their magic and give the car a new lease of life.

Danny is excited about the project and decides to take it on as his personal mission. He assigns Ryan, the paint specialist, and Horny Mike, the resident prankster, to give the car a new coat of paint. Meanwhile, Shannon and Kevin start preparing the engine and other mechanical parts of the car for the restoration.

As the project progresses, the team starts to uncover some hidden surprises. They find that the car has a lot of original parts that were not supposed to be there, which is always good news for a restoration project. Danny is pleased to find the original 383 engine, which is a rare find indeed. However, there are also a lot of surprises that are not so good. For instance, they discover a lot of rust on the car, which is going to be a challenge to fix.

Ryan and Horny Mike take a lot of time to come up with a new paint scheme for the car. They decide to go with a classic two-tone look, but with a twist. Instead of sticking to one color for each half of the car, they decide to switch the colors around for a more unique look. They also decide to add a tribal flame design to the front fenders of the car. Danny loves the new design and gives the go-ahead.

As the restoration nears completion, Danny prepares for the big reveal. He calls Gary to come and check out his restored Charger, but he has a surprise in store for him. Danny has managed to get his hands on a Hemi engine, which was the option that Gary had always wanted for his Charger. Danny has spent months searching for the engine, and the team has put in countless hours to get it installed. Gary is thrilled with his "new" car, and Danny is thrilled to have made a customer happy.

Overall, Charger Surprise is a fun episode that showcases the skill and creativity of the Counts Kustoms team. The restoration project is challenging, but the team is able to work together to bring the car back to life. The final surprise is the cherry on top of an already satisfying project, and it is clear that the team takes pride in their work and in delivering a quality product to their customers. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the team tackle this restoration project, and will no doubt be impressed by the finished product.
