Ep 13. Get Your Motor Running

Tony and Kevin from Count's Kustoms have their work cut out for them in the latest episode of Counting Cars. In "Get Your Motor Running," the guys are tasked with restoring a classic motorcycle to its former glory – a task that is easier said than done.

The episode begins with Danny "The Count" Koker and his crew receiving a call from a customer who is interested in having his bike restored. The guy had initially purchased the motorcycle with the intention of fixing it up himself but quickly realized that he was in over his head. The bike was in terrible condition, with rust, dents, and missing parts galore. The owner had already invested a considerable amount of money into the project with little success. He decided to reach out to the experts at Count's Kustoms for help.

Danny sends Kevin and Tony to assess the bike's condition. When they arrive at the owner's residence, they are taken aback by the bike's state. The frame - which normally would be the base of the bike - is almost unrecognizable. Tony is particularly concerned that the corrosion on the bike's frame may affect the structural integrity of the bike. Kevin also notes that the bike is missing several key parts that are essential to its overall function. The two are determined to restore the bike to a rideable condition, but it's clear that the job will be a serious challenge.

The next step for the guys is to disassemble the bike and send all the parts to be sandblasted. They hope this will remove as much of the rust and corrosion as possible. later they head back to Count's Kustoms and to take a full inventory of the parts that are missing to start the hunt for replacements. In order to make the bike rideable again, the guys will need to find a new battery, new brake system, a new exhaust, and an entirely new lighting system. It's a daunting task, but Kevin and Tony are up for the challenge.

While they are waiting for the sandblasting to be done, Kevin decides to work on the bike's engine. In the episode, he addresses any issues with the engine. Kevin finds that there are several issues with the bike's carburetor that need to be addressed. He explains how carburetors work to get the most out of the rebuilt engines. Then, he uses his expertise and personal charm to get the help he needs. With the carburetor restored, Kevin moves on to other issues with the bike's engine and gets it up and running again.

Meanwhile, Tony puts his own creativity to the test by customizing the bike's gas tank. He also works on finding replacement parts for the other missing parts of the bike. He uses his connections and years of experience to track down the much-needed parts to finish the project.

As Kevin and Tony work, frustrations grow, and tensions rise. Since the bike is so rare and in such poor shape, the parts they need are hard to come by. But like any professional, they work through the rough patches, and with time, effort, and expertise, they make the impossible possible and bring the old bike back to life.

The episode ends with the guys putting the finishing touches on the bike. They tweak the engine, adding new fluids and gases so that the engine is running at peak performance. They also paint the bike's tank, bringing a touch of finesse to the final product. Appraising the restored bike, they clear it for the customer to ride with a smile and the pleasure of it as it once was.

Overall, "Get Your Motor Running" is a thrilling episode that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The restoration of the classic bike takes patience, attention to detail, and a keen eye for detail. Kevin, Tony, and the team at Count's Kustoms prove once again that they are up to the task in this epic restoration journey.
