    Danny comes across as a down to earth guy, passionate about his craft, yet not full of himself. Very personable, regular guy vibe. That's the coolest thing about him.

    I live in Vegas. I can tell you with out a doubt that Counts Customs is one of the BEST places to visit, when you're in town.
    First of all, it's free to go look around.
    Just sign in the guest book and your free to check things out!
    Just be respectful and don't film, if they're filming an episode.

He loves us more than we could fathom, more than we could ever hope to repay. Therefore give thanks and rejoice in Him each and every day, for in forgiveness we may find our spirits cleansed. God not only heals our bodily diseases but also cuts out what is cancerous to the soul, or toxic to our faith. Let Him in, and rejoice His works!/Prayer+ Lord my Almighty Father, I praise Your name and Your works, Your ability to work through me and into my soul. Cleanse again my heart Lord, by forgiving me of my sins and temptations, for this is the debt to You I can never repay, but for which I will be thankful always. Amen.

    Hey, cool segment man, fun throwback! Danny's got his own YT series now and has a restaurant and his band plays and all kinds of stuff.
    Back in the day around the time that cable access was on he had a little corner shop up the street from me in Vegas where he was building those HotRod Caprice cop cars and I just walked in with a starter for my Toyota 4x4 V6 3.0 in hand after learning it's some weird middle of the intake mounting and asked if he could help me out and he put it on right there on the spot! He's just a super cool nice guy!

      Cadillac's Northstar engine had its starter located underneath the intake manifold. I saw a prototype on our shipping dock, headed to our Engineering Garage, (Hydra-Matic) at Willow Run. After they were put into production, I was IN the Garage, one afternoon shift, nosing around, while pulling chips & rubbish for Material Handling. One of the mechanics there told me he could change one out in 20 minutes. Well, they did have the tools/facilities, and the skillset needed to DO it... lol
