  • Stacey and the crew hit the ground running with a late model replacement bed from LMC that’s sure to revive an old Ford farm truck and get it out of the pastures and back on the highway. Then it’s off to show budding Jeep enthusiasts a couple of entry level options they can use when it comes to modifying their vehicle. We get a visit from a couple who learn how to install new seat upholstery. Stacey’s found something cool for all you second generation Camaro owners. And we’re just getting started! So get ready to turn some wrenches on Gearz.

    "Clapped out farm truck nobody wanted", I would have taken it with the flatbed.

    That Resto guy sounds like the one my friend had to deal with. She had a friend with a shop, and was only charging her $15!!!! An hour, for His employee's time!!! Nothing for his. His guys agreed to work a few hours a week on her car, For Cheap! And these guys were top of the line, quite a few trophies to show. But, they did collision work, not many repaints or restos. Well, she got mad at the guy, and carried her daughters wreck to his competition. Needless to say, several employees refused to help her anymore.
    So, after a short time, she carries the car to "This awesome young guy with a big shop! Really got his Schiff together!".
    The first shop replaced Quarters, Trunk pan, all body work done except maybe the hood. So the guy had the hard part done for him. Well, she gives him $10,000, and waits for Mr wonderful to finish it in his awesomeness. Lol. Two years ago by. She goes to check on her car. He's no where around, and some of her car is. But no parts he was supposed get. Cars not touched. Same for another lady that had her Dad's 68 RS/SS Camaro convertible. Part of it was there, but part wasn't. He'd sold her parts.
    Finally, the first gdl did get the car, 72 Monte, painted, but no one wanted to put it together after several hands. It still sits today. She didn't want to pay normal price, that $15 an hour spoiled her.
