Gearz Program Schedule

The Drag’ N’ Wagon is back, and today the focus is on the interior. Have you ever wanted to get rid of the old, cheap upholstery in your vehicle, but not really known how to go about it? Well, follow along as Stacey shows you how to strip all that old upholstery off, and put some new leather on... and it really is something YOU can do at home! After that, we dig into the myth that recycled oil is BAD oil, and actually show that recycled oil might be better then what you are using now!

One of the most exciting and time consuming parts of any project is the final assembly. This is where you bring it all together into a finished vehicle, and where attention to detail is so important. Today on GEARZ Stacey walks thru some of the things that need to be done on a project before you can actually call it “done”. Fuel system, electrical, driveshaft, these are all things that are easy to overlook and have a way of rearing their head to bite you at the end of a project.

We all know what a Hot Rod is right? Well today on GEARZ, Stacey pushes the boundaries of traditional Hot Rod thinking by showing you a vintage Hot Rod that FLIES! We don’t mean down the road! If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build, restore, and fly a vintage biplane, then this is the show to see. It’s exposed engine, open cockpit, wind-in-your-face cruising at its best! Then it’s back to the shop where Stacey deals with the classic problem facing drivers all across the country…..dull hazy head light lenses.

Quick…answer this question...who put men on the moon? If you answered “gear heads” then you are right…but of course we call them engineers and rocket scientists now. However, that doesn’t change the fact that a bunch of hot rodders figured out how to get America into space, and today on GEARZ, Stacey takes a look at the amazing roots of the Space Program, and the incredible invention of the moon buggy. Then it’s out to the NASA testing grounds to see the annual Moon buggy race. Young engineers compete with schools from all around the world.

Today on GEARZ, Stacey picks up right where he left-off a few weeks ago, and proceeds to install a brand new short bed, on the chassis of a truck that was born a LONG BED. That’s right with the cutting done the next step is to assemble a new short bed using all new, aftermarket parts. You hear people say, “If it was that easy, everybody would be doing it.” Well, it is that easy, and a lot of people are doing it...and YOU need to be one of them! Now… chop to it!

It was one of the most lethal airplanes of WWII...the P-38 Lightning. Today on GEARZ, Stacey takes a look at what made it so unique and why the German army nicknamed it the “Forked tailed devil”. But, the legend didn’t end in the 1940’s…it continues on as Stacey showcases the new P-38 engine parts from Jon Kaase that you can put on your small block Ford to make it run like greased lightning! After that, Stacey sits down with Rock and Roll legend and certified car nut, James Burton, to dig into the unique connection between cars, guitars, and Rock and roll. Turn it on…crank it up…and hold on!

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!

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.

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!
