Counting Cars is a reality television series following the operations of the custom car shop, Count's Kustoms, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. This season-6 episode, Sailor's Soul, stars Danny Koker and his team as they take on another custom build.

In this episode, Danny receives a visit from Chuck, a sailor who has served in the US Navy and has a passion for all things related to the sea. Chuck wants Danny and his team to create a custom car inspired by his love for the ocean.

Danny and his team immediately get to work, brainstorming ideas that will reflect Chuck's love for the sea in the custom build. They decide to create a custom ride that will resemble a submarine, complete with portholes and periscopes. They are also planning to install a sound system that will produce submarine sonar sounds and sea animal noises, creating an immersive experience for the driver.

Danny and his team start looking for a suitable car to use as a base for the customization. They come across a 1965 Chevrolet Impala that has been in storage for over a decade and decide that it will be the perfect candidate. The guys get to work, dismantling the car, inspecting all the parts and doing a thorough analysis of the car's condition. They find out that the car is in relatively good shape, with only a few rusted panels that need to be replaced.

The team starts working on the car's body, carefully removing the rusted areas and replacing them with fresh metal panels. Next, they start working on the submarine-inspired features, such as the portholes and periscope. They first create cardboard mockups to ensure the proportions and placements are correct before fabricating the actual parts and installing them on the car.

Danny and his team also work on the car's engine, ensuring that it is in top shape. They install a new carburetor and exhaust system, giving the car a powerful roar. The guys then paint Chuck's car with a deep blue color, reflecting the color of the ocean.

As the car takes shape, Danny and his team invite Chuck to the shop to see the progress. Chuck is ecstatic, seeing his dream car come to life. The guys then show Chuck the unique features they have incorporated into the car, including the sonar and animal sounds system, which Chuck finds amazing. Danny and the team continue to work on the finishing touches, ensuring that every detail is perfect.

Finally, after weeks of hard work, the car is ready. Chuck arrives at the shop to collect his custom ride, and Danny pulls back the curtain to reveal the car. Chuck is thrilled with the result, and the whole team watches in awe as Chuck takes his new ride for a spin. As the car roars down the road, the sound system produces the sounds of the ocean, further enhancing the driving experience for Chuck.

In conclusion, Counting Cars - Sailor's Soul is an exciting episode that showcases Danny Koker and his team's incredible custom-building skills. The episode highlights the team's creative approach and attention to detail, creating a custom ride that reflects Chuck's passion and love for the sea.
