- When it comes to laying out a vehicle for a hot rod build, most people focus on the engine and transmission they want but tend to overlook the chassis and frame. That can be a mistake because throwing 500hp into an 80-year-old frame can cause some serious problems unless you upgrade it properly. In the past, Stacey has shown how to upgrade a vintage frame, but today he digs into what’s involved in a full frame replacement to make sure our ’40 Chevy can handle everything we want going to throw at it. From frame to upgraded suspension and brakes, to a classic quick change rear end, this build is going to show you another option to upgrading your hot rod foundation, while checking all the vintage boxes! And speaking of hot rods, no hot rod is complete without a kicking’ stereo, so follow along as we showcase KICKER Audio, as they celebrate 50 years in car audio innovations…… only on GEARZ!

“Real hot rods have 3 pedals” - you have no idea how happy it made me to hear you say that!!!
nice intro! thats worth a subscriber. beautiful cars. Thanks for keeping them Alive!
stacy I've been watching you since trucks back in the 90s your show's are awsome and have given me a lotta ideas not for just trucks but whatever I put my hands on to be creative ... thanks man
Stalled projects that I have come across came with living things like rats, snakes, bugs, and plants. We would have loved to have a frame to work with. Your section on car speakers brought back some old memories of cheep speakers, curded wiring and hard instillations was all you had to work with. Way better today!
That old sparkomatic audio system damn near made me cry it was the first stereo system I ever wanted when I was like 10 didn't even have a car to put it in
You uave heen inspiring me since trucks.....love all ur shows...just recently found out that ..bc i didnt remember...that kevin painted big blaze..he is my other fave auto guy to watch and learn and get inspired by
Love that old Chevy!! Can't wait to see how it'll turn out. Since I'm a big car audio fan, Kicker was one of my go-to brands for woofers back in the day. Their gold letter line were the best sounding in my opinion.
So so glad to see someone is trying to bring the hot rod back you don't see him any hot rods like have out all they got now is junk aluminum so God bless you and I'm looking forward to seeing your channel just came across your channel
your the man stacy ! looked up to you my whole life ! wish i could come check out your projects ! thanks for being you !
Hey, realoc1972, hotrod is blanket term for whatever your building. The title didn't need fixing.😂
brutal hair helmet
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍
I have the shop, I have at least most of the tools, and I have turned a wrench or two in my day. What I don't have is the funds to buy all of the really nice after market items. So, If I build something, most of it will be off the shelf of the local auto parts, or, an EBAY purchase to make it happen. I kinda like that because should something give me an issue, good chance I can go to town(which ever town I might be in) and get a replacement.
Who else wants a update on Wicked Willys? I remember the start of not only that but project hairy hauler, and who can forget project Sinister Silverado.
Those bolt extractors look like a useful addition to the box.
Stacey needs a makeover. That hairdo is so 1980’s.
Hardly anyone has the budget for a $13000 frame, let alone the $3000 IFS kit from Chassis Engineering...
👍
I want you to do a Drag and Drive project, That would be a cool project to see you do
🎉Hey I'm just if you have a show about replacing proportioning valve on a 1978 Chevrolet half ton pickup? A lot of fans would like to know about that.
