Stacey's Earliest Influences & Sgt. Rock vs. Disney - Tales of a Gearhead Episode 79
February 07, 2023
Stacey shares some of his earliest vehicle influences and how a Boy’s Life ad for the DUNE-BUG led him to building his first GO-KART, replacing the 5hp Briggs & Stratton with a 350 Kawasaki motorcycle engine and finally a 440 Ski-Do Bombardier engine.
After that, Stacey answers a listener question about aftermarket vs OEM panels for a ’75 Camaro.
Finally, a tale about how Sgt. Rock’s trip to the House of Mouse didn’t go quite as planned when the Disney suits got an eyeful of Sgt. Rock’s big .50 cal replicas.
