Ryan is challenged to paint a Harley Trike in the spirit of Van Gogh's "Starry Night," and Kevin finds a car that could be one the most valuable ones Danny has ever seen--if it's an original.
Episode 33: Flamin' and Misbehavin'
Danny wants Ryan to fix a bad flame job on his beloved police cruiser that's been sitting in the shop for years. A customer asks Shannon to restore his 1979 Iron Head Sportster that's more a pile of parts than a bike. Danny and Roli come across a 1974 Nova that would make for a great flip but the owner isn't ready to let her go. Danny and Kevin check out the 1940 Dodge rat rod Horny Mike told them about to see if it's a buy, or a bust.

Danny has wanted a Plymouth Roadrunner ever since a couple of car nuts pulled him over a few years ago, and bought his Sebring on the spot. He’s finally found one and he’s doing it up exactly as he wants to. Meanwhile, Horny Mike takes on a side project that is as scary as it is silly.
Episode 34: Paint Jobs
Brush up with Danny and his crew and revisit some of the best paint jobs in Counting Cars history: a constitutional Corvette that blows its new owner away, a 1960 Chevy Delivery that’s been through three paint jobs, a ’92 Ford ambulance converted into a spooky ghost-hunting machine, a patriotic motorcycle that pays tribute to the USS Belknap, and a ’59 Chevy Panel Truck that leaves Danny speechless.

A customer wants to trick out his 2004 Harley Davidson Road Glide, but both Shannon and Ryan aren’t sure they can do everything he wants. A fellow collector drops by dangling a rare 1970 Lincoln Mark III in front of Danny who can’t wait to take her for a spin.

Episode 35: Iconic Americana
Cruise down memory lane as the guys from Count’s Kustoms revisit some of the most iconic American cars they’ve ever laid eyes on: a rare 1963 split-window Corvette, a historic 1956 Chevy Two-Ten, a classic 1951 Mercury Eight and a 1963 Chrysler Imperial that Pawn Stars’ “Old Man” wants to make as timeless as himself.
Episode 28: You Never Forget Your First Z28 (2)
Danny’s battle with nightmare Z28 continues as he puts it though endless fabrication to bring it back to life.

When the client comes to pick up his Z28, Danny will finally learn if it was worth all the trouble.
Episode 27: You Never Forget Your First Z28 (1)
This two-part episode starts with a client asking Danny to find and build a 1979 Camaro Z28, to commemorate the first car he ever owned. After they find one online, they soon learn that the car is not in nearly as good of a condition as they thought, and the project turns into a nightmare. While Danny figures out what to do, another client arrives and asks Ryan to trick out four high end computer towers–in three days.
Episode 26: Firebird Fever
“Engine Whisperer” Doc has a cool ’67 Firebird he’s been working on. While he’s a mechanical maestro under the hood, his paint skills are lacking so he enlists Ryan to make it look as mean as it will run.

Legendary rocker George Lynch from the metal band Dokken stops by with his very cool 1965 Buick Riviera. He gives Danny free rein to put the Count’s Kustoms rock and roll touch on it.
