- The COPPERHEAD Story! Legendary Chevy C-10 BuildE1
The COPPERHEAD Story! Legendary Chevy C-10 BuildAbout 20 years ago, Stacey built a 67 C10 truck on TV called “COPPERHEAD”. From the humble beginnings of just a frame and cab to the rumbling monster it became, nobody dreamed that the truck would go on to become one of the most influential trucks of all time. The influence was so strong it helped start the custom truck craze that continues to this day. But what made it so iconic and different? Well, today on GEARZ Stacey answers those questions as he walks you through the build and showcases the unique features and parts that went into building it, and the thought process behind it. It’s a rare look at the story behind the build, and It’s only on GEARZ! - How to Maintain Your Classic Car or Truck
E2How to Maintain Your Classic Car or TruckIf you have a classic car or truck, there’s no doubt you want to drive it and enjoy it. But how do you maintain it and not ruin its value? Good question! Using Copperhead as an example as he gets it ready for the Grand National Roaster Show, Stacey guides you through maintenance and upgrades that can be done to a classic vehicle to keep and increase the value, as well as what you should leave alone to ensure the value of the original build is maintained. From brake lines and bumpers to carbs and leaky gaskets, this will show you what you need to address on your classic, and what you need to leave alone. - Cheetah Big Booty and Suspension UpgradesE5
Cheetah Big Booty and Suspension UpgradesThis time on GEARZ, the Cheetah is back in the shop after a trip to Cheetah Evolution for some major frame modifications to make this 630HP cat plant its booty firmly to the ground. Follow along as Stacey shows the benefits of getting rid of the old C4 Corvette rear end and going with something leaner and stronger from Winters Performance, and some matching Wilwood brakes to bring it all to a stop. If you have a Corvette, you’re gonna want to see this! The front end also gets some upgrades with a new steering rack and column to help the cat carve corners with the best of ‘em. After that, Stacey takes you on a walkaround of an amazing Roadster: the P-33! The level of craftmanship on this build is simply amazing. It’s all here, on Gearz! - Jeepster Going CommandoE6
Jeepster Going CommandoThere’s no doubt the Jeep is one of the most popular vehicles out there to modify and customize. Wagoneers, CJs, YJs, TJs, and JKs are just a few of the popular models that everybody knows and loves to modify. But what if you buy a project with a specific plan in mind, only to find all is not what it seems? Do you sell it? Restore it? Modify it? Well, this time on GEARZ, Stacey answers those questions as he rolls in a rare 1967 Jeepster convertible and shows you how to successfully change the direction of a project when it throws you a major curveball. Follow along as Stacey strips down this Jeepster and goes Commando, then starts a level 1 restoration instead of the level 3 he had originally planned. After that, we take a minute to check out the Keep On Truckin’ event at this year’s Grand National Roadster Show. So many trucks, so little time! - Upgrading the Jeepster's Electrical, Cooling, Brakes, and SuspensionE7
Upgrading the Jeepster's Electrical, Cooling, Brakes, and SuspensionThis time on GEARZ, the ’67 Jeepster is back on the block as Stacey goes underneath and deals with the saggy suspension, faded brakes, and oh so many leaks! It’s all part of a continuing level 1 restoration, and well within the scope of what most people can do in their own garage if they take their time and plan it out. The purpose? To show that once all the dust settles and the parts are replaced, a level 1 restoration will give you a reliable driver that you can enjoy now, and not spend two years building. If you’re just getting into working on cars, this is the kind of project you need…and you’re only gonna see it on GEARZ! - Introducing the Hot Rod '40 Chevy Coupe ProjectE10
Introducing the Hot Rod '40 Chevy Coupe ProjectIf you pull into any cruise-in or car show, you’re bound to see a lot of cool stuff like Street Rods, Muscle Cars, Slammed Trucks, and Resto-Mods. But none of those would exist if it hadn’t been for those early Hot Rods and the aftermarket parts that made it possible to light up the night with roaring engines and burning rubber. So, to pay tribute to that hot rod spirit Stacey is rolling in a 1940 Chevy coupe and putting together a hot small block to go in it. Multiple carbs, finned aluminum and plenty of horsepower are just some of the magic ingredients that make this rod roar. But it’s not just Hod Rods on this show. Ride along as Stacey takes a legendary Aston Martin DB5 out for a 007 test drive. It’s all here, on Gearz. - 1999 Dodge Ram Interior Changes - Lil Red WagonE11
1999 Dodge Ram Interior Changes - Lil Red WagonThe Little Red Wagon is back on the chopping block as Stacey continues upgrading the old nasty interior of this well-worn ‘99 Dodge truck. From new carpet to headliner, to repainting door panels and even changing the interior color, you’re gonna find that this is something anybody can do on a reasonable budget. So, if you’re tired of your original seats, carpet, or just want to change the way your interior looks, this is the show to see because ch-ch-ch-changes on the Little Red Wagon are really bringing this old shop truck back to life! After that we’ll also take a look at one of the most innovative products you’ve ever seen to keep those furry critters out of your cars and the garage. It’s all on Gearz. - Building a Better Hot Rod - '40 Chevy Frame and SuspensionE12
Building a Better Hot Rod - '40 Chevy Frame and SuspensionWhen it comes to laying out a vehicle for a hot rod build, most people focus on the engine and transmission they want but tend to overlook the chassis and frame. That can be a mistake because throwing 500hp into an 80-year-old frame can cause some serious problems unless you upgrade it properly. In the past, Stacey has shown how to upgrade a vintage frame, but today he digs into what’s involved in a full frame replacement to make sure our ’40 Chevy can handle everything we want going to throw at it. From frame to upgraded suspension and brakes, to a classic quick change rear end, this build is going to show you another option to upgrading your hot rod foundation, while checking all the vintage boxes! And speaking of hot rods, no hot rod is complete without a kicking’ stereo, so follow along as we showcase KICKER Audio, as they celebrate 50 years in car audio innovations…… only on GEARZ! - New Cornwell ARCA Toolbox, '40 Chevy Hot Rod Updates, DIESEL CorvetteE13
New Cornwell ARCA Toolbox, '40 Chevy Hot Rod Updates, DIESEL CorvetteEverybody knows that if you have tools, you need to have a place to keep them. But not all toolboxes are created equal, and we prove that by taking an in-depth look at the new ARCA series boxes from Cornwell. Then we take a look at the record-breaking, Pro-stock ‘63 ‘Vette that’s running a hot Cummins diesel for power. Finally, we dig into barn finds and look at how to assess floor pans and how to pick the right engine accessories to fit the style and space of our latest Hot Rod ’40 Chevy project. It’s a lot of stuff that you don’t want to miss!
