Stacey David's GearZ - Season 8

Today on GEARZ, we dig into the ultimate how-to project…..building a shop! It's an incredible transformation as Stacey and Crew take a huge open warehouse and build it into the new GEARZ shop.

Stacey makes a house call…to Pennsylvania!!! Why?... to pick up an old fire truck to use as a project truck to make even more house calls with! If this sounds confusing, then you NEED to see this show, because Stacey shows you how to take a vehicle that nobody really has a use for anymore and convert it into something you can use for your home or business. Sound deadening, tool boxes, and an on-board air system are all things that you'll see go on as the big green fire truck begins the conversion into a rolling tool truck.

Stacey looks back at how the show came about, and covers a few of the unique how-to segments. He digs into some of the incredible vehicles, and the ideas and reasoning that helped shape these projects.

Stacey rolls in the big green fire truck, with every intention of changing the color and look. But he's not using paint…he's using a vinyl wrap! If you've ever wondered what the deal is with vinyl wraps and if it is a good thing to do to your project, you need to see this show! But that's not all. As the wrap is going on, Stacey also takes the time to show how to restore and bring back to life your accessories and trim without spending a lot of money.

If you've been around cars very much, you've heard the term "barn find". It's a term that depicts that "diamond in the rough" vehicle that everybody wants to find. Well, today on GEARZ, Stacey delves into the barn find phenomenon, and unveils what could be the ultimate barn find…the lost Richard Petty Car! Follow the incredible story of the car that Richard and Maurice Petty built in their early days, that was then sold and disappeared for decades…only to be found by Stacey and returned to Richard Petty so it could take its rightful place in the Petty Museum. It's a fact that very few car stories have a happy ending. This is one that does and also has the pedigree of being one of the "King's" first chariots. Its gearhead archeology at its best, and you'll only see it on GEARZ!

Today on GearZ, Stacey hits the road to visit one of the members of GearZ Nation to see if he can lend a hand on his project. If you don't think a project vehicle is for you, your mind will change once you see what a difference some time, expertise and a few parts can make to a beat up old truck!

On this episode of GEARZ, Stacey shows you how to tackle the one restoration project that everybody dreams of doing one day...the frame off restoration! You'll be surprised how simple a job like this can be if you follow his simple tips and tricks and plan the project out properly. In the world of high dollar builds, a simple frame off restoration can get you back on the road enjoying your car or truck and at a fraction of the price. But to get a grasp on how to do it, you have to see this show. After that, Stacey swaps some licks with recording artist Casey James who just happens to be a gear head at heart…all here…all Gearz!

So you think you want some custom bumpers for your big ol' truck? On this episode, Stacey shows you how to not only find what you're looking for in the aftermarket, but also how to fabricate and build your own custom mounts to make ‘em sit exactly where you want them. After that He digs into the history of the Sgt. Rock truck and how it is permanently connected to "the greatest generation". But this truck isn't just about WWII, as a special tailgate airbrushed by Mickey Harris reveals, It's about all the men and women that have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. This is one show that will have you waving the flag when you see it!

On this episode of GearZ, Stacey hits the road to help out a Gearz Nation member with his 56 Corvette project. Since the guy really wants to drive the car, putting in a modern 5 or 6 spd tranny would be really nice. But which one? Well, we not only answer that question, but also give the guy a little helping hand with the transmission too. If you've ever wished Stacey made house calls, this is the show to see. After that we take a look at some serious questions that people ask about becoming a tool dealer and if it's really worth it. You wanted to know...we got the answers for you!

Stacey dives into the world of the sleeper by taking a non-descript '73 Plymouth Satellite and begins transforming it into a street pounding monster under the skin. Gone is the lethargic 318 engine and front suspension... and in its place Stacey begins fitting a new state of the art performance suspension. If you are into surprising people at stop lights and run-what-you-brung race nights, then a "Street Sweeper" just might be the sort of approach you want to take on with your next project.

The Street Sweeper is back! Stacey dives into just how many parts it takes to completely change the drive train and suspension on a classic muscle car. Accessories, transmission, overdrive, hearders, the list may seem to go on forever, but it's about finding the right parts in the aftermarket to build the car YOU want. After that, it's off to the races to see if E3's new top fuel spark plug can handle the pressure of competition. If you want to see the in's & out's of building a car, GEARZ is the show to see!

If you could only do one upgrade on your vehicle, that would make the biggest impact on the looks and drivability, what would it be? Well today on GEARZ, Stacey answers that question by installing a Katzkin leather interior into a Jeep Compass and showing that if you've got an open weekend, you can do the same thing on your car or truck. After that, He jumps back on to the Street Sweeper project to lay out the interior and the rearend, and finally drop that huge Hemi into place. If you've ever thought it would be fun to build a sleeper car, This is one '73 Plymouth Satellite that shows how it can be done!
