0 years ago, Stacey David’s GEARZ burst on the scene as a how-to and lifestyle show that covered all things mechanical. And when it came to the tools necessary to do the work, Cornwell Tools has been there from the very beginning. Follow along as Stacey blasts through the last 20 years of tools, projects, and how-to and shows why both Cornwell and GEARZ have managed to stay on the cutting edge of what is happening in the automotive world. After that we venture into the world of video games and pinball and show why these games are having a huge resurgence and why you NEED one in your shop!

This time on GEARZ Stacey delves into why and when you should strip the paint off old body parts and what to do with them once you have. He not only covers what kind of media to use and what to expect when you get the parts back, but also when it’s reasonable to re-use the original parts and when it’s a good idea to replace them. After that he dives into a “simple” restoration project on some headlight buckets to illustrate how much time it actually takes to restore things properly, and why your project seems to get bigger instead of smaller! If restoration is your thing, GEARZ is what you need!

This time on GEARZ, Stacey rolls in a 1949 Dodge Power Wagon to showcase the history that led to the development of these amazing trucks and a company that specializes in restoration parts for them. After that, Stacey shows why it’s a good idea to upgrade the electrical and fuel systems on a vintage vehicle to make it more reliable on today’s roads. If you have an old vehicle and want to drive it regularly, this is the show for you!

This time on GEARZ, Stacey recognizes the 250th anniversary of our Nation with a trip to the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, Wyoming! He unwraps the incredible story of how one man’s desire to own a tank turned into the largest privately owned military collection in the world. We not only go through the history these vehicles represent, but also the nuts and bolts of what made military technology and advancements so important. After that we dig into some of the incredible veteran outreach programs that are available as well. It’s about history, it’s about GEARZ, and it’s about YOU!

This time on GEARZ, Stacey addresses one of the biggest decisions you’ll face on a project: buy a crate engine or build your own? Well, if you want something in-the-box, a crate engine is great, but if you want out-of-the-box, you’ll need to build your own, and Stacey shows you what is involved in doing that. After that, we reveal what a crate transmission is, then drop the whole thing into the chassis of our ‘59 Apache pickup. It’s wild and wooly and only on GEARZ!

This time on GEARZ, Stacey rolls the M6GT replica back into the shop, but it’s no longer just a bare chassis or a pile of pieces. It’s a running, driving prototype of a new component car hitting the market. Patterned after the legendary Mclaren M6GT street car, this new M6GT replica from Retroformance captures the look and essence of the original Can Am inspired cars. But at the same time, it adds current technology and refinements that represent the modern aftermarket. The result? A modern version of the car that started the supercar craze back in 1969. If you have ever dreamed of owning a mid-engined supercar with classic lines and modern components and accessories, an M6GT may be the car for you!

This time on Gearz, the focus is simple upgrades you can do that pack the most punch. The ’49 Dodge Power Wagon is back as Stacey shows how to convert the old manual steering to power steering so it can handle a much bigger wheel and tire combination. After that, he dives into the old drum brakes and swaps them out for some far superior power disc brakes. This isn’t about cost; it’s about doing the best upgrades that have the smallest impact on originality. The best part is it’s simple stuff that anyone can do to virtually any old vehicle if you know what parts to use and how to put it all together – and that’s what Gearz is all about!
