Stacey David's GearZ

Today on GEARZ, Stacey rolls back Ted Nugent's big 80's Bronco fresh out of the paint shop. In keeping with the natural theme, the Zebra is back with modern, earth tone stripes on its flanks in an environmentally friendly water-based paint. After that, Stacey shows how to bring interior panels back to life using some simple household items and spray paint. Then he digs into ways to keep your vehicle from being ripped off, by showing some simple techniques and products that will keep your car in YOUR driveway. It's all here, and all on GEARZ!

Today on GEARZ, Stacey brings back the Drag'N'Wagon to see if he can get the beast to breathe some fire! The first thing he puts on is an ATI supercharger system to get some air sucking in. Then adds some hotter coils to help light the flame…and finally slaps on a bigger exhaust system to help blow the air out. If you are wondering how to make a street beast out of an entry level truck, this show spells it out.

Today on GEARZ, Stacey jumps into a project that's bound to get everybody talking...a SUPERCAR that will run with the Ferraris and Lamborghinis that are out there. But, before he can show you HOW to build one, he has to show you how the whole supercar thing came into existence, and what it takes to build something that will run over 200mph...safely! If you've ever dreamed of owning a super car, and thought you couldn't afford it...... this is a show you can't afford to miss!

Quick...what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say, "kit Car"?

From assembling the chassis to installing the body, this show goes into the nuts and bolts of what it takes to hand-build a car in your garage, that will rival the best that the European Exotics have to offer. Only in America, and only on GEARZ!

If you have ever dreamed of walking into a place like GM, and building your own engine using all their tools and equipment, you have to catch this episode of GEARZ, because that is exactly what Stacey does! With GM's new build-your-own-crate-engine program, you are able to follow Stacey thru the process of building your own LS7 engine. Not only does it give you a great look at how these engines are built and manufactured, but it'll also give you great incentive to get to GM and build your own!

One of the hottest new rigs on the market is the Ford F150 with the new 6 cylinder eco-boost engine. But is it all it can be?

Then Stacey rolls in the nastiest, grungiest, barn-find Mustang that you can imagine and shows you the steps and tools required to buff an old nasty paint job back to life. Did we mention that this paint is BLACK!?!

So you think the only option you have for your project is an expensive crate engine? Well, think again…. Because that old crusty engine currently residing in your project just may be the perfect raw material to rebuild. Today on GEARZ, Stacey visits an engine rebuilder to show it is possible to breathe new life into an old engine without spending a fortune. Then it's on to the final assembly of Ted Nugent's old Zebra Bronco as the engine goes in, the parts start going on, and the big rig slowly comes back to life. It's one bad beast fit for the Motor City Madman, and it's only on GEARZ!

With all the makeovers going on these days, it may surprise you to find that there ARE groups out there that could REALLY use some help. The local volunteer Fire Department is a perfect example of this. Since they are volunteers, nobody gets paid the put their life on the line day in and day out, and the equipment they use is generally hand-me-down stuff from the bigger Fire Departments. Well today on GEARZ, Stacey decides to do something about that by taking a stock Chevy dually pickup, and transform it into a state-of-the-art Brush truck for the local Volunteer Fire Department.

Station Wagons…Love them or hate them, we all have some stories to tell about them! But most of us have never dreamed that a wagon could be a Hot rod or cool custom…but they can! Today on GEARZ, Stacey shows how much fun a wagon can be when it has an LS engine under the hood, and two four barrel carburetors sitting on it. If you ever wanted to thrash your Dad's old Wagon, this is the show for you!

When it comes to Cadillac's, most people immediately think of lowering them down, and cruising with them. However, since the Cadillac Escalade is a great SUV, we thought it would be great to take the Escalade of Country artist Jason Sturgeon, and put a 3 ½" Skyjacker lift on it. Now you have no reason not to go hunting or fishing in style! After that we head to the land of the Predator, and see what it takes to be one of the most successful Monster Trucks of all time with Alan Pezo. Finally, we rub a little of that Monster Truck DNA on SGT.

Everybody knows that you can get almost anything you want on a new car or truck these days. The problem is, if you use your truck for work, "almost" just doesn't get it. Today on GEARZ, Stacey takes a decked out new truck, and adds some key tools and equipment to make it something that you can literally take to work or play with. After that, we dig into the mysterious world of leather interiors, and show how it is possible for you to buy a top quality leather upholstery kit, and install it yourself. Finally, we roll in the SL-C and show what it takes to put twin turbos on an LS7.

Today on GEARZ, Stacey rolls Heavy Metal back into the shop and begins to lay out some of the incredible modifications that he is going to be doing on this old junk yard '69 International Cabover truck. A custom four-link air suspension goes on first, and then a slick air brake system to pull this big monster to a stop. A custom exhaust is also laid out, along with numerous other modifications to make this a one of a kind rig. If you have ever wondered if a Cabover could make a cool hot rod, you need to check this out.

Everybody knows that 80's and 90's cars are hot right now, and one of the most desirable is the Fox bodied Mustang because it's cheap and offers incredible bang for the buck. Today on GEARZ, Stacey rolls in a 1990 Mustang cop car and shows how easy it is to pull out an automatic tranny, and stuff in a Tremec 6spd so you can shift the gears properly. Then it's off to the Hot Rod Institute in South Dakota to see the paint and body work that the instructors and students have been doing to the V8 Interceptor. If you thought this '67 Cougar was wild before, wait 'til you see this show!

One of the hottest vehicles to hit the gear head world is the Side-by-Side, or Utility Vehicle. Once relegated to just farm or ranch work, the UTV is now something that you will see being used for Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Landscaping….virtually ANY kind of outdoor work or recreation. Of course that means the aftermarket is full of things to make an UTV better.

In every project there is a beginning and an end. Today on GEARZ, Stacey walks you through the incredible build up of the "Rat Roaster", a wild 32 Ford roadster, and shows off the finished car in true GEARZ fashion! It's Hot Rods, Rock & Roll, and flyin' wrenches galore, as Stacey demonstrates the incredible satisfaction you get from building something yourself.
