- The son of legendary car builder, Bill Thomas, talks shop about wrenching, racing and his father’s Cobra Killer…the Cheetah. Then Stacey heads over to Stainless Works to check out how the Cheetah’s custom side pipes, headers and mufflers came together. A Gauge Tech explains the pros and cons of mechanical vs. electric gauges. After that, a Quick Tip explains the proper way to use some of those mystery tools laying around in your tool box.

Now that roadkill is gone go back and upload all the full episodes. You guys will kill the views!
Man I loved the 34 seconds of build, shame about the 21 minutes and 26 seconds of adverts
I grew up watch your show on TV and I forgot how good it is. Keep up the good work!
That big block looks tough. Love it.
I miss the good old days when Stacey would actually finish a build. Good times.
This build is finished
Man, this is my new favorite channel.
Miss the shit out of your shows.... your a bad ass real man Stacey and I’ve always looked up to you from the first Trucks episode! #ROLEMODEL
as a welder I love watching shows like this one
those hose tools at 14:40 work even better with a little lube. Once you get the tool inserted spray in a little silicon spray or wd40 with the straw nozzle on the bottle, then move it around to free up the hose from the metal.
Always Great info & Great projects!
Thanks Stacey!
I hope to see the cheetah in the next episode!!!!!
Loving the show Stacey, watching in High Wycombe, England.
whatching from lincolnshire england. The amount of after market stuff there is over there, its like a pic n mix
Those aircraft door handles are only 185 a piece thats about 400 less then dave kindig charges
i'd rather see stacey show off his skills rather then cut scenes that are basically before and after pictures. i wish he'd just do a youtube channel or something where we can watch him work and fabricate, hes so skilled and he has probably the most imaginative views on vehicles its a shame he's never been in a show that can showcase just how good he really is
The problem with these shows is they're basically just one giant commercial. Even on his cable show, 2 minutes of him tossing old parts in a pile and then commercial break and then the show turns into a commercial of him using their product. It isn't just this show. It reminds me of what happened to saturday morning cartoons, they became adds for the toys. Same thing here. I got bored with this a long time ago. Besides, I work on classic cars all day for a living, why go home and watch someone else do it? :)
Because i don"t work on classic cars for a living
Thats very true!! Yes....it can jade you very badly. My "office" for the next month or so is a 1966 GT40 road car. Anyone else would be excited to work on this car, for me its another car that will need be "fixed" seven times before it functions properly. Just the research alone adds to the stress, let alone finding the "correct" parts and pictures of a vehicle that hasn't been "customized" to race. But that said, I do stand behind my statement about some of these shows (not just this one) being half hour commercials disguised as a car show.
so why are you here watching it?
Larry Drozd he always was like that with him s show and it sucks but he is very talented with the cars
I record it and delete the garbage.
New drinking game: Take a sip every time Stacy starts a sentence with "Now..." I dropped my beer when he got to 31...
hell take a drink every time he is selling something, Bet you'll be sending ya ol ladt to the store to buy another 30 pack halfway in
Can’t wait for this show to be available on motortrend app. So I can watch full length videos.
Hope that happens
@2:39 Bill still uses AOL I am impressed they are still around !
this is the first time I've seen this Cheetah and I'm inlove with it.
You're in luck! There are 382 Cheetah episodes leading up to this one, and several years yet before we learn if it'll ever be on the road.
Big fan, love your work and your show. Keep up the great work.
Those hook tools also work great for flipping steaks on the BBQ and popping a carburetor into your beer can!
great show, even the commercials rock
Saw a new Cheetah at a Cleveland auto show a few years ago. Been helplessly in love with it ever since. BTW, Stainless Works is only 10 mi. from my home. May stop in there one of these days. Stacey, know you need advertisers to support your show, but try to spend more time on the builds and a little less promoting. I look forward to watching your channel.
i had almost forgot about this old program, now i need to look up all the episodes for the cheeta, i do have some advice for the trolls that seem to haunt every video i watch, instead of thinking you are an expert on every subject that these videos cover try doing this just once, instead of letting others just think you are stupid don't comment and prove to them you are, do some research on the subject. you might learn something, hand laminated fiberglass bodys and boats use both methods mentioned here, on the same boat or body, the method with chopper gun is used along with the mat, it gets complicated so look it up if you really care.
Hand-laid fiberglass?............looks like a chopper gun Stacy❤️
I loved Gearz but now can't stomach all the ads. Hope things go well for you in the future because I'm done.
Mouser Greg guy works hard, can't stomach him feeding his family
Ill have to submit my 89 s10 blazer project. Mainly a rolling stereo but, its going to be a full custom show vehicle when done, just like my 85 blazer before it was totaled
2:12 "hand-laminated fiberglass"
*dude's using a chopper gun. That's not hand-laminating*
Yeah that's what I was thinking too
yea he laid the glass from a gun with his hands lmao
those gauges looked so good :') Need some for the mini, the chrysler, some for the future beetle that im already to broke to own ahaha
Great show as always. One idea could you put links to the company's products in the description?
YEA!!!!!!!
12.35 minutes off show 10 minutes of infocommerial
Gary pic ..somebody’s got to pay the bills...but yeah, a little bit more car show content would be nice...
Two Black Labs oh I understand about paying bills but geez last 10 minutes of "show" is him pumping crap nobody .ca n afford.
The whole audio/graphic production is juvenile. Makes car-nuts look like assholes.
Yup, I’ve just about had all the “Power Block” programming my wallet can stand. Lol
its how he has filmed his shows for years half of a build is explaining new parts
Just got going on the Cheetah build then got dumped on for commercials.Never saw the finish. This guy's a Pimp.
I personally know someone that is restoring one of these to original form. First time i saw it was like what is this!!
Pity about the content but I had a Cheetah slot car in the 60@s lol It had stunning lines.
Nice i have only seen one cheetah in real was about 10 years ago in Atlanta in a friends garage
NYC video .. helps lots of automobile engg.
many years ago at NE dragway saw one of these do over 110 in the quarter mile with a Ford 260 v8 ,looks the same
I can imagine what driving this car is like because I have access to a '65 Griffith 200 that I make a Key West to Miami run a few times a month in which rocks.... with the exception.... no A/C so gotta keep moving.
That engine sounds amazing
Brilliant tips and info
I wanted to see and hear about the Cheetah! I didn't click on here to watch an infomercial! I feel like a chump for watching the whole thing waiting for you to return to the Cheetah...which never happened!
the projects are in segments, i'll simplify that for you since you sound too dumb to understand how tv and entertainment works, they do it one show, video, at a time, this is a tv show , its not free just because you guys don't understand how earning a living is. it costs money to make a show, it costs money to do all the things you see, im guessing it costs you nothing to sit there and watch this, same price to click that mouse and not watch it.
Tanks fo timplifying dat fo mi jimmie. I spend $65 a month for my internet. I canceled my dish three years ago to get away from all the advertising...so many commercials I would sometimes forget what I was watching. Many have done the same thing, so much so that advertisers have now invaded the internet to make up for lost revenue. Less than two years ago I could watch an entire video from start to finish with no ad interruptions. Now an ad begins and ends every video with several interruptions in between. So take your sanctimonious BS and try to sell it to someone less educated.
Well , I know a fella here in Florida who designed and built the Oselot cars that were the bane of Watkins Glen for years . One of his cars held the track record for 2000 cc for six or seven years . This video seems to want to make one believe the Cheetah was a corvette or based on a corvette . Nothing could be further from the truth . It was an independent who designed and built the Cheetah . It did if I recall my buddy said it used the Chevy small block a 327/if memory serves . It kicked ' Everyone's asses all the 'Big ' manufacturers took a beating from this little car . So bad ' they ' ( pick one ) perhaps the same ones who got Mopar so restricted they told NASCAR to shove it years ago for the same reason . They worked to well and were way to competitive a car . . . . . . Notice the distinct similarity to the Viper ? ? ? I did . No it isn't a ' Chevy ' . . . .
WHOA THATS COOL "commercial" HAHA NOW THATS RADICAL "commercial" WOOOOOW ITS SOOOOO COOLL "commercial"
Looks like they finally got him.
I was really hoping to really hear more of the Cheetah build up. I think we all know that if the hood doesn’t shut over the carbs, it has to be cleared......I also kinda know that commercials pay the bills, but when ads get this invasive, it eventually diminishes the audience.
I love this car...
Love Stacey. Used to watch him on weekend mornings. Spike or TNT or whatever. But I cant figure out whats going on with his hair. It hasnt changed in like 20 years. Right now its looking solid like a helmet. Actually like a tired old wig that needs replacing. We enjoy your knowledge, craftsmanship, and how you present both. Hair is not important. In this case its slightly distracting. If its falling out, just shave and grow a beard. We will still love you.
Ryan Burke I was thinking the same thing
He looks like bubba from in the heat of the night.
I actually just came through the comments to see if any one else was gonna say something...Also the commercial comments
Lmao man that is too right
I was going to say the same thing.
Why do i feel like 637 isnt that great for a lsx454. Im pretty sure those ultra 4 trucks mostly use a ls3 crate and I could have sworn there getting in the low 600s.
anytime you can reliably have 1hp/1ci you are doing just fine
They can get higher HP, but why? The car weighs like 1500 pounds? It should last forever and be as fast as a 1300hp modern Vette
I get what you're saying. but that big block also has a lot more torque and the cool factor
volcano hi and you are correct. there technically isn't any big blocks in the ls motors right? my problem is anytime I hear 454 my brain thinks big block lol
codysett1 Hillborns are great to look at but actually suck for horsepower
Cool build!
5:52 "doors come *pre-fit* "
5:53 "you have to do is a little shimming and *fitting* "
Stacey, when you had your headers made up for the car, did you take the car to Stainless Works so that they could build them on the car? Just curious about that. Thanks for the share. Love the show.
At 2:08 he says "the skin is a special hand laminated fibre glass body" which is accompanied by a shot of some guy using a chopper gun. Hand laminated means just that. You don't use a chopper gun on any hand lamination.
It would be nice if he would ever finish something
He almost never finishes anything it seems, or he jumps around so much that I miss it.
it would be nice if the show wasn't essentially 2/3 advertisement, 0/10 not watching again.
I LOVE STACY AND GEARS. I don't think we ever finish anything, it's always being tweaked.
Why was " O'Reilly gift card" dubbed over?
Wow you still have that Willies! Is that the on you built on TNT Trucks
If I remember correctly the body didn’t hold up to the power. Rare to find intact originals.
Since you had access to the SW staff I would of had them make 180 degree headers for the car.
No new content? This parts commercial is from March 26, 2016.
Wow...ageless beauty!
Id like to send you some photos and information about the lakester that Im building from a CF 100 All weather Avro Canuk Interceptor wing tip fuel tank. Looked for the page you showed where you fill out but cant find it. I think youll find this a great addition to your show.Please send me the info to contact you. I like your show. Thanks Louie.
The Ghetto called, they want their wheels back.
Too many ads bro
My favorite of ALL cars, even over the gt40 and dodge Daytona.
This is a cool car
Dam this could be a good show if it wasn't filmed like one big commercial / Add for motor parts.
Just curious why does Stacey take off running after he shows us something? Examples at 14:02 and 15:40
14:10
Best part of show
i like the way there was rich cocaine fed fuckers on a high like lets make a race car....then they get an engineer/mechanic and have an arguement about whats right
That radiator hose was already ripped
That is one impressive rug he has on his dome.
This video is more than half commercials!
454 is fine for a street car and doing burn outs and stuff but if he were going to road race it a small displacement capable of high RPM would be better.
VERY TRUE AND MORE FUN AND EASIER TO DRIVE
Especially a heavy iron block?
was they 67-68 cougar ever finished
don't know
I'd like to do that entire car body, doors and hood out of carbon fiber.
"THIS IS JUST ONE LONG COMMERCIAL"
Have none of you ever seen this show before?? been like this since the 90's... WHO do you think makes the show??? LOL
and you are probably the same people that watch TV and think the only advertising is during the commercial breaks...
Will it clear after you paint it? It will be 6 or 7 mils.
Check out PML valve covers
Commercial after commercial.
im working on a brtish mk3 ford courtina with a j2z 1600 bhp engine as sn everyday sleepercar driver car ive bought all the engine coponants from scrap yards and payed for every part to be reconditioned so far ive hand built body pannel to make an extra wide body airide suspension reinforces chassy frame to add weight ive introduced bullet proof glass and military grade bullet proof steel where ever i can fit it on the inside of the body of the cat the car now weighs 1.6 tons and because it only weighed 798.6 of a ton the car now handles better the car also has 40bls of nos boost and a new interior and new dashnoard and speedos and 2 twin 600bhp turbos the car will be finished in may of next year
I absolutely love the cheetah in the morning you guys are building is pretty sweet also but but when you guys are building isn't worth as much as an original Cheetah had a neighbor had a sheet over in original 327 and it was a 450 horsepower
idk if this be answered but at 1:59 there is somethiing in the background "you or we have remained (something)" or maybe here you have your main scallop.... lol idk please somebody tell me
Best mechanic alive!!!!!.....
QVC? But I'm not drunk and it's not 4 am?
I will never fault a guy for making a buck but...
Wish the RUclips vids was up to date with the season
The Cheetah car is USA sport car. Please let me know . What is cost for cheetah car?
To much like an infomercial
Gotta fund the show somehow... plus its related stuff. Not like he's trying to spam dishwashers.
Is this a show or infocommercial ?
Longest parts commercial ever!
If you knew what this was really about, you would send the US Navy over there to light that helicopter up with a flamethrower.
Was there a car in this episode?
Well that was a long advert.
I don't think this would be legal in Germany and other European countries, because as I see that you have got a muffler but no catalytic converter.
Why didn't you put a supercharger in that 454 cu inch to get 1000 horse power ??
one giant infomercial
Hang on, they said it was hand laminated then they showed someone laying the mat with a chopper gun...?
Seriously people that's got to be the ugliest whatever one wants too call it. It's not a sand rail but in that category I'd say, the wheel and tires are too large for the size of the kit car. Wouldn't be caught dead in such a vehicle . Have a splendid day !
21:08 tho haha
What made you decide on using that iron LSX block in a vehicle which its ethos is extreme lightness?
Probably due to poor sales. A stock ls3 would be better
you think aircraft handles are cool until you use them everyday and then find out how much metal chaffing results from all that turning.
Please coat my stainless steel.Will they last an additional year or more after I pasted away
Hand laminated glass doesn't use a spray gun...
22 minutes long, 5 minutes to the car, 17 minutes of you guys hawking tools and parts...
