There's something about Danny that's comforting when he talkes

[@williamkirk9604]

I can't stand it when Danny talk ,like when angels sing. I'm kidding but your right, it's layed back

Burt Reynolds is a huge part of the reasons I got into cars. Aside from Steve McQueen, Reynolds started movie car chases. Reynolds is a part of every car guys childhood. Rip Burt Reynolds.

[@frederickhunt3126]

Burt Reynolds is the reason I became interested in car's in the first place. You can't talk about cars without mentioning that Trans Am. R.I.P.

I know Burt Reynolds is looking down, smiling and very thankful that Danny and his team didn't disrespect the soul of these beautiful classics by doing their usual Counts Kustoms' touch.

[@M-RUT77]

Agreed,i feel like danny n the boys put a little too much of their logo n feel into people's personal builds

[@timothypearce2633]

Well done Danny, lovely tribute to the man the legend! The guy had incredible onscreen presence, up there with Marlon Brando

[@tjsmith7355]

Burt Reynolds was a star long before i was born. Even though i never watched any of his movies, i grew up watching dukes of hazzard, fast and furious, but Burt set the gold standard for classic car movies. May god bless him and his family.

[@rickydyess8869]

I had to have me a Trans Am when Smokey and the Bandit came out. I had just graduated high school and went to work offshore. Came home and bought a Bandit Edition T/A ...

Must be nice.

[@alfredvara8880]

Love Burt Reynolds he will always be an icon.🙏🏻 Rip

[@deanarupe73]

Burt was the epitomy of cool. Just like Clint Eastwood he's a true mans man. This actually made me cry. Danny was lucky to know him.

[@silvervalleystudios2486]

Rent a Cop. Sharky's Machine. City Heat co starring Clint Eastwood. There will never be movies like that again and there will never be amother Burt Reynolds. RIP

[@josephheffle7137]

Burt Reynolds was a super star my heart was heavy when he passed what a great person and actor. I loved and watched every one of his movies.

[@DavidSmith-sf2wd]

DANNY IS OUTSTANDING. I WATCH COUNTING CARS EVERY SUNDAY AND TUESDAY. IF I EVER HAVE ENOUGH MONEY I'LL SEE HIM. I SPENT 15 YEARS IN THE MARINES EOD . I LOVE THE WAY HE RESPECTS ALL VETERANS. HIS DAD WAS A GREEN BRAY

Totally amazing speech he just made for Burt.

[@triciabrown3035]

"Hooper" was a grossly underrated movie, just a fun affectionate tribute to stuntmen! good "guy movie"

[@yvestorquest5760]

God Bless Burt and Danny!!

[@ddelaney712]

Burt, I know you are gone. But speaking as a kid of the 70s, the first movie I watched on the big screen was smokey and the bandit. It was my friends birthday, he invited me and another couple of friends to watch you. Watching you for the first time, Sally, and everyone and everything associated with the movie left me star struck. Thank you Burt Reynolds, for everything you did. RIP.

[@silverwishes6000]

Made me tear up I loved burt's movies what a special guy

"You heard about the legend of Jesse James And John Henry just to mention some names Well there's a truck drivin' legend in the south today A man called Bandit from Atlanta GA"

[@matt2244]

Every gearjammer knows his name They swear he got icewater runnin' in his veins A foot like lead, and nerves like steel He's gonna go to glory ridin' 18 wheels He left Atlanta back in '63 Haulin' him a load up to Tennessee He hit Monteagle in the driving rain So hard he couldn't even see the passing lane Well he started downgrade when he lost a gear He hit them brakes; found he had no air The Monteagle grade is steep and long And everybody that seen it thought the Bandit was gone Well his truck jack-knifed; turned completely 'round He was coming down backwards 'bout the speed of sound A lot of folks seen him and they all say He had his head out the window yelling "Clear the way!" Well he got to the bottom safe and sound Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down He said folks when the truck picked up too much speed I just run along beside it and drug my feet You heard the legend of Jesse James And John Henry just to mention some names Well there's a truck driving legend in the south today A man called Bandit from Atlanta, ga Every gearjammer knows his name They swear he's got icewater runnin' in his veins A foot like lead, and nerves like steel He's goin' up to glory ridin' 18 wheels

Burt Reynolds maybe gone but never be forgotten

The thing about Burt Reynolds movies I remember most. Smokey and the Bandit. Cannonball Run. Not only were they fun to watch. But you look at the outtakes at the end. You can tell they had a lot of fun making them!

[@DraperMortimer]

I know some people think “oh the bandit was just a character” but like others people looked up to the bandit and Burt Reynolds. He’s the reason a lot of us wanted to be truckers

I loved Burt`s laugh . I worked on Pontiac`s early 80`s so I got to work on some of the best Fire birds . The 77 and a 84 this car had twin tbi swirl port intake . Rebuilt the engine and boy was it sweet when done . Laying off the throttle after the first gear change automatic transmission the tires chirped going into second. what a bad ride. The owner wanted no one to work on his car but me .

[@yardsausage]

that would be an absolute privilege to get a chance to be part of a crew to work on burts cars.

[@ghostfacekillah2938]

R.I.P The Ture Legend Burt Reynold 😢😢😢

[@BillyN31]

I worked at the closed down steakhouse The Stockyard, in Nashville Tn. Burt R use to come in and literally tip $100 for a couple of drinks. He was so down to earth and a super nice guy.

[@DarkStar-wu9nq]

This very car is rotting away now just abandoned 😢😢😢 Broke my heart

[@julzmax956]

Seeing that black Trans Am put an instant smile on my face and knowing that it belonged to the legend..... that made me feel good.

[@rustyshackleford2627]

When I was a kid I loved that red Trans Am in the movie Hooper and I still love it now !!! I would love to be able to have it but the only problem would be is wanting to drive it every day without racking up miles or slight bug and rock damage !!! 👍👍👍

[@scotthamp384]

The people who gave this a thumbs down must not have liked Burt. I sure do. Danny was right. He was a star

[@chrismobiliophotography5743]

[@mr.amsterdam2063]

Great video Danny and sorry for your (and the rest of the world.) lost of a long time ago good friend. Burt Reynolds, is it because we get older or why can't those new movies give the same smile and feeling when watching? Time and world is changing like a rollercoaster and not sure I happy with that. Glas for us we can escape sometimes watching episodes like this one. Thank you!

[@romanbernal9157]

RIP SMOKEY 😫

[@gearsmashking6880]

Yeah, I heard it was scrapped. So, it's a little surprising to see it here.

[@jacobshort5378]

I can still sit and watch the Bandit.

[@DDay-vv9ec]

Burt Reynolds was the man..he made the 70s..

[@estpst]

The cars looked in good shape to me, why bother to make them look any better.

[@SilverWatcher.]

Money

[@Crazyjoker4650]

I agree. Don't touch them. Don't even wash or polish them. Leave them as they came out of his garage.

[@Crazyjoker4650]

@Bob Hoffman My preference, personally, would be untouched. Would you rather have a game used Mantle jersey thats been cleaned and laundered or one with Yankee Stadium dirt smeared into it? Both are treasures but the dirty one would fetch more money.

[@pauljorge5089]

They prob just did a few touch ups nothing major to the car

[@Drewfus53]

Man.. ill miss burt. Grew up on smokey and the bandit.. filmed in my state.. What a legend. Miss you burt.. R.I.P. sir.

This is yet another reason that makes counts customs the best shop in the world second to none. Unlike others the count truly cares about the car's the customers and even if it means taking a money loss he does for the good of the car and customer and ad to that his shop has the greatest talent in the world
