How it Started Part 2 - Tales of a Gearhead Episode 62
May 19, 2022
Stacey’s tales of his early days in Nashville continue. Things kick off with him being selected to play on the Grand Ole Opry with Roy Acuff, his first time meeting Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsy’s bass player Billy Cox, his VERY BRIEF stint as an Elvis impersonator, and finally his battle with a fly while finishing the paint on one of his first award winning builds. Listener questions tackled are replacing the wiring harness on a ’73 Cuda, battery 4-1-1, and putting 3/4 ton axles into a 1/2 ton Silverado.
