Auction Car Nightmares! The Beaten and Downtrodden - Stacey David's Gearz S9 E8
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2016
- In the current fad of “flipping” cars for cash, Stacey takes on the good, bad, and ugly of a ’66 Biscayne that was bought at auction. Nice looking paint can’t hide the safety issues that are found once this car is put on the lift. From suspension, to brakes, to battery cables…and even down to the lug nuts, this auction beauty turns out to be more of a beast. Safety and sport-style handling are only a few repairs away on GearZ.

My only problem of watching your videos is deciding which one to see next
Does anyone remember this guy from Trucks from the old tv network TNN? And also the show horsepower tv ? The beginning of my car education.
The last host/gearhead I watched with interest was Kevin Tetz- I used to remember all the cast of the earlier shows.Really liked Ian Johnson, Lou Santiago, Jesse Combs, Rick Bacon and all the others. What happened to Power Nation? Stacey was the first host on Trucks! about 20 yrs ago( I think)
Daniel O.,....I remember him from Trucks. He built some really cool stuff. I remember Stacey saying that a lot of the builds ended up at the car crusher because he wanted to sell them and put the money into new projects, but because a lot of those projects were corporate donations the corporations didn't want to be accountable if the purchaser(s) got hurt, they insisted the vehicles be crushed. So Stacey started buying the project builds himself. Not long after that he wasn't on Trucks anymore and I had no idea why. It wasn't until I'd heard about Gearz that I finally heard this story I'm telling right now. So I assume he either was fired or told them to fuck themselves and started his own production company(Rattletrap) and show (Gearz). Which I, personally, am thankful for. Stacey is THE MAN!!
Thanks- knew something crappy had happened to his efforts. He is the man!! All the real instructive car shows have been replaced with drama queens shilling sorry projects we basically don't give a .... about
@@waltercooling8907 Yeah,... I agree. Stacey started at Trucks as a co-host and when the original main host left he became the sole host which is when I was first introduced to him. He had his own shop called Rattletrap which is also the name of his production company.
Yes- how very sad... I enjoyed her appearnces on a number of shows. Life can be so uncertain..
I always love Stacey's heavy use of hand tools over high end air or electric tools. Great project and nice look.
Thanks Stacey, I've been watching you for years and I not only learned a lot about custom mods but how to build them the right way. I have been doing my own vehs for more than 40 years and I now work on other people's projects. Between the new products and technics I consider your show continued education. Keep up the GREAT work!!!! Thanks for everything
“Watches show” man that was easy! “Spends a month rebuilding front end in driveway”
Best auto show there is, no drama no deadlines to meet no howling or stupid characters, just good old repair/replace with good oem products,,Host Stacey tells it straight. I subscribed here on youtube as here in Canada our tv providers
want extra $$ for everything.,,Carry on, thanks. geo
Just a long commercial to sell aftermarket parts, that uiu have to modify original car to fit.
"now is the time to fix it." Thats how changing ball joints in a camaro became control arm bushing, then body bushing then sub-frame and body rust repair...
Thanks for the great episode Stacey and crew! GearzNation!
@ 17:41 did anybody here the guy in the background yelling when Stacy David shot that bungee cord. (LMAO)
You do these right , always enjoy watching and learning … great editing
I've watched Stacey's show for years, it was on Speed back years ago when I first got satellite. I loved the show back then and it's still fantastic. Yeah yeah, the infomercial portions are too long but whatevs, the rest makes up for it.
I have missed your show on you tube for awhile; glad to catch back up! Brakes and suspension are so important and the very last place you would want a failure. Keep up the good work... a long time fan.
This is such a great show!! Thanks for putting it on TH-cam!!!!!!!
I really enjoy your videos, Stacey. I wish I had the money my own 4×4 project. Keep up the good work. 👍🇭🇲😁🦘
Thanks for the full episode Stacey!!!
Glad to see full episodes back on!
thanks for these episode, just heard through the company I work through that you've been picked up by O'REILLY Auto Parts as one of the sponsors two of my favorites . don't have MavTV or velocity and really miss your show . thanks again.
A great engine for those '60s Chevrolet cars and trucks were the 327 cid
You are LEGEND bro!
A really great show. Thanks
I loved your TV Show, and now I love your TH-cam Channel. You had the best show and inspired me to start a TH-cam Channel. Thank You.
Wow, a whole episode. Thanks.
awesome show Stacy
Great upgrades. How many man hours did those upgrades actually take, and an approximate cost?
The original flipper was a real hack and whoever bought that POS was ripped off. The entire car needed to be redone. The paint looked like a bad rattle can job! At least Stacey made it safe. I wonder how much oil it burns haha.
I love your show and your garage
All nice and all... But what was the cost of all that? $8,000?
Great show I just wish your show was still on Tv on a Chanel I could get but Verizon don’t carry your chanel
And.... At what total cost Stacy? I am heading that way with my 67 427 Caprice. I checked on QA1 I've been away for 20 years on buying hard parts. Sticker shock.
what happends to take off parts if u take to swap meet and it dont sell does it scrapped?
I've got an edge juice with aditude programmer and I get 30 to 37 mpg on race mode. with an cold air intake and straight pipe exausht.
Do you have to take out the c clamp inorder to do a rear brakes conversation on a Axle with drum brakes
Stupid question. Since Disc brakes require more fluid to operate than drums, does the stock master cylinder has the capacity to operate? I remember one of these shows, (Hot Rod TV, Crank N Chrome, Horsepower, etc) made a note about that, but said the the Corvette Master could be used in a lot of applications for the (Same model year) due to Factory 4 wheel Disc.
Number Nine Logistics t
He new master cylinder was on the bench with the whole kit in the beginning, they just didn't show him putting it in.
I know it’s been a year since you asked but I thought I’d give the answer. The original master cylinder was small on these cars in fact it’s actually smaller than my fist. I wouldn’t trust it to hold the amount of fluid required and most kits will supply something more adequate for disks than the original master cylinder. In 67 it was a particularly rare option but I don’t think they even reproduce anything for that system
I never understood why anybody would think to change suspension components to ones with better quality (or at least looking like that) with the same function and geometry would improve the handling.
love that handle
What about the lower cam pin .... The knuckle it bolts right on ? Show how
I use to save good battery cables if there were good OEM ones off cars I scraped
Great episode and fantastic project. But...looks like some serious dough involved. Estimate on all those upgrades$$??
seen this video and seen that Stacey did not say this but the lug nuts that was used on them rims was also the wrong lug nuts this where stock lugs on them rims
See, even the master of restoration needs an extra pair of hands on occasion
I wish they would show what the heck the changes did. Like a before and after compare.
Did anybody notice they screwed up and put the drivers side shock in before the panhard bar and the bolt wouldn't fit?
Thank you
Wonder why they didn't upgrade the master cylinder, seems to me a system that was designed for drum brakes would not be correct for disc brakes.
Watch the show again, it did get a new Master!
clemenaugh,....Mr. Skoros is right. They just didn't show the install.
Yo Stacey, since it's a lowered car, won't the rear sway bar grind the street on bumps?
New springs and shocks.
Good work ! Need your show on Velocity ! Preferably Morning !
It's on velocity on Saturday morning!🚗
I should have gotten a 5.9 Cummins, my 2018 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3l v8 gets 13 miles per gallon.
I am in love with the Pontiac Firebird in the beginning of the video! I can't remember if it's a 68 or 69 maybe a 70? Either way THAT is a gorgeous car! And the only reason I kept watching the video was just to see glimpses of that beauty.....NOT the polished turd that he put the overdose of parts on.😛
It's a '69 Firebird convertible. It wasn't an overdose of parts. It's obviously pointless to do the suspension half assed. That may be good enough for you but Stacey is a pro by comparison, and obviously the customer had the money.
Any one of us could do all that work in have the time, with half the tools, for half the money, right in our driveway. I'm talking like an hour or two tops! You can do this man, go for it! hahahaha
That's why I would never use spacers on wheels and oversized wheels
The guy that bought that thing. Never looked at it. Damn thing still has drum brakes up front.
so much truth in the first minute and a half
sweet door handles never seen something like that
Actually there IS something wrong with flipping cars. It makes it more difficult for the average guy to afford something cool. Why? Because too many see flipping classics as a profitable business when it really isn't and only further drives up the price.
I have to point this out. He was installing a dave kindig door handle then promoted a different companys handle. Im a big fan of kindigs that kinda rubbed me the wrong way
I wish he would build a Scout II or feature an IH motor, like a 345 or 392.
3 threads is enough to reach maximum torque value for the size of stud. so to be safe we have to spend 10K in parts? u don't need any of this just to go to the cruise in and back
Or just have the tire shop press in longer ones without buying all that stuff for cheap insurance. Because a tire shop wouldn't send it out the door that way, at least a good tire shop wouldn't.
@@BlueDually4x4 they sure wont.i had a rim with 2 lug hole were out of round. when i got new tires they showed it to me and said they cant mount the tire, so they put a brand new rim on my truck to use until i got one. it didnt match but was what they had that fit at the time, discount tire did this
how about those coils shocks for cadillac deville 1994 were to get some
i had a parts supplier around Lincoln ne usa / parts geek hope that helps use to work on caddilacs a lot 2010-13
+Richard Price thanks for the tip, my only problem its that I live in monterrey mexico.the siping cost its a little hi not to mention the cost,but I know one day I have my cadillac runing the way supposed to.maby whit a sponsor lol.
What's the paint code on this car?
I flip cars but nothing this nice. Plus I have tondo a good job because a lot of my sales happen on facebook and peoppe are quick to dime others out for shoddy work...
Keith is my middle name. I love those big Dodge Ram Dually trucks
I love the references ...he is Savage
Those door handles he showed co st $200, each!!! The rods and latches not included in their $409 two handle kit WTF
That car looks like Fast n Loud butcher job
Stacey's show has always been about the work, the tips and the ideas, not doing it fast, cheap and being silly and (thank goodness) not with all the stupid childish drama of all those other amature hack Hollywood shows that a really just 60 min commercials for all the stuff. When the goal of the show changes from the wrenching work and cool ideas to the drama and money, it becomes just like all the rest and loses my interest. Stacey's show has never done that and I hope he never lets it get there, since his show is different than all those other cookie cutter shows out there. Stacy is a true professional and doing for the blue collar man. Once you watch all the different shows on these days, it becomes obvious that Stacy is one of only a few of the people on tv that actually know what they're doing and how to do it right!
We are all very lucky to have someone like Stacy and his shows.
Stacy, stay true to yourself, I've been watching you for years and years.
Thanks
If you decide to give up being a car restoration wizard, you could easily be a comedian 😄 😉.
when will you do a nissan hardbody
Shame that car didn't get a modern rack and pinion conversion to go with the modern suspension and brakes...
What was the suspension company name ?
ridetech i think
So no more chucks garage ?
17:39 17:41 17:45 15:57 17:30 17:35
I guess if someone cant figure out how to use a door handle, its a good one???
This was way overkill for what that car needed.
the parts he put on were about 10k easy.... the car probably sold for 10k.... yup thats reasonable
I desperately want to start a project.
man do a full Cummins deisel trans build.
Why is it called emergency brake in USA? In Europe and Russia it is a parking brake.
because if hydraulic brakes fail the emergency brake is on a cable and will still work.also on slippery roads if your front tires lose traction preventing you from steering , you can e-brake out of it
in Canada we call it an e-brake or parking brake, same thing but we all understand it
Motorcycles don't have doors
$10,000 worth of suspension going into that car
Why ain’t you with Motor Trend on demand.
persuasion, tools, swearing for parts that are hard to get off
So nice to have money
Never say anything prices lol
Great idea if you Stacey shop and tools!!! Next you need a fat wallet!!! (the stuff they show ain't cheap)
Fred said it
This guy spends Oney like the government 😂🤣
Everyone does when it's "other peoples money"!
seems like maybe some people would have wanted that car stock.
well yeah, but he did mention someone bought it at an auction. so I imagine he was correcting it for the guy
BS that was no "flipper. Look at the inner fenders, the paint on the front fenders,,,,?? Some time spent SOME time on that Body.
Hey Stacey, please put real tires and rims on that former ghetto ride hoopde
STACEYS ATTITUDE IS SUPREME 👐👐👐👐 .... LOVE THAT FUCKN GUY 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 WISH HE KOULD 🐝 MY AMIGO SO HE KAN MANHANDLE MY 1955 CHEVY TRUCK 3800🤗🤗🤗🤗
door handle on a motorcycle? am i in a different dimension?
I WAS WONDERING CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH MY 1977
CADILLAC
I built the 68 Dodge Charger in the left of the video at 21:50
21:56
That’s cool! Who owns the car now?
The problem with always smoking the tires is the police have no sense of humor and tires are expensive
Ain't nothing like dupping 20k in brakes and suspension to make a restomod to a hot rod.
Your not in the United Kingdom though . But good effort
Yeah hang on while I rob a bank to afford all that stuff.
“Performance coilover shocks where you can adjust your performance right here at the top “
This guy has no clue.....and does he ever finish a project ?
I have met him at several shows as well as got to tour the studio where he records this show. Several of the cars were there when we stopped in. He is a true died in the wool car guy that his builds are on an extremely high level. A lot of the TV and SEMA cars/trucks fall apart under scrutiny. The stuff he builds takes so long because he's a perfectionist and sponsorships change so parts are swapped.
I don't like the wheels and tires on the '66Biscayne it's too GHETTO for me and it will ride like a brick
Sure...I'll just buy $7000 worth of new parts up front and fix my old beater...NOT !
stacey is the best . i like is work .
