I have a '32 Ford Roadster rusting away in my back woods. It was my grandfather's. He smashed it in a race in the 40's and it's been sitting in the woods ever since.

Trucks! and Gearz were the best shows man, I loved these long build series, no other show went into so much of the build details, and every build was unique. Stacey David, you were the one guy who really got me interested in project car building as teen in the 90's. You were not a phony, we could feel the love you had for your babies throughout! Love these full build videos!

[@robertfitzsimmons2507]

💯 in total agreement. I loved watching everything Stacy David did in his shows. I didn't just watch his shows because I found them interesting or because I'm a gear head. I learned many of the skills and mechanical knowledge I have because I was always paying close attention to everything that was being said & done, from the parts being used and reasoning behind it, Quality and pricing difference, what parts are best for your build or what will work just as well while easier on your wallet.

[@jamescrawshaw9969]

I remember watching this build with my son when he was 11 this is what got him in to classic cars and it brought us closer together as father and son.

[@seH2i]

Thank you Stacey. It's been decades since I meddled with muscle cars, this operation takes me back. I'm 64 years now, a disabled veteran and particularly today because I'm not feeling well your presentation lifted my spirits. Miraculously I've survived 3 heart attacks since 2009, one being a Widow Maker but it's time again to get back into living healthier. I had a scare the other day & went to the emergency room HOWEVER God is good & a wake up call is just that. Thank you again & maybe if I get over the Harley phase ( ha ha ) I'll get back to a muscle car. Even a late 60's V8 sedan would be nice. I appreciate what you've doing.

The old is new again this New Year's Eve! Stacey- You were SO far ahead of the competition back when-and even further ahead now… On the streaming services, Pod Casts and YT channels they school the cast of characters to keep similar clothing, haircuts, even eyewear so the production folks can cut and splice without regard to style or months (or even years) between takes. I lived in your neck of the woods back at the new millennium and saw you around from time-to-time. I recall some viewers criticizing your work ware AND your hair style, but you never lost focus nor raised a fuss, you just wear what works and have a head of hair. Fast forward to today and we can see 20 plus years of episodes from over the decades and only notice the passage of time by the surrounding traffic. You haven’t aged at all. Good Job! Love seeing the projects again and your techniques are timeless and effective. Keep it up dude! -Steve EsQue

[@bandwagon240]

I'm happy to see these videos as a one and done as opposed to how they were presented on TV. Always loathed how it was a skip around affair where it seemed like 4 projects took 10 years to complete. Granted, there's always the usual recap that took up a great deal of time per episode, but it just seemed like nothing got done. Thankfully YT came along and shook up the TV industry so that even the PowerBlock is now focusing on one project at a time.

[@UpperDarbyDetailing]

This just got edited to be all at once. Shit takes time, even on TV. Especially if you've gotta wait for parts, shipping, and to find just the right company to PAY you to use their parts. Have patience.

[@bandwagon240]

@@UpperDarbyDetailing this is why it pays to have good project management.

[@UpperDarbyDetailing]

@@bandwagon240 indeed it does, but it still takes time. Now we'd all love it 8f they started a project, then kept going until it was done. In fact, I'm doing that with my first KZbin project next year. The only way I'll be able to do that is by biting the bullet, paying FULL price, and filming the entire thing BEFORE that first episode airs. Which I'll probably only be able to do a few times before wait times don't line up with a weekly episode schedule. That means doing more than project at once... and the viewers are just gonna have to wait.

[@edwardgarner1299]

Tremendously enjoyed this video. The Beachboys "Little Deuce Coupe" was my favorite song in high school, and I lusted to have one. Finally, in 1968, I purchased an already-built '32 5-window Hot Rod for $900. It had a 1965 327 Corvette engine with the aluminum high-rise intake manifold, high- performance Holley 4-barrel carb and a Vertex Magneto. Put out an estimated 360 horsepower, and with lighter weight fiberglass fenders, it was essentially unbeatable on the street (couldn't drag race it because it had no scatter shield). There was much to do to upgrade a lot of the components, as the car was obviously used for many years before I got it (except for the newer engine). One of the first things I did was to have it repainted "Lime Fire Green" -- almost identical in color to the Rat Roaster. Unfortunately, I was not an experienced mechanic and depended on other people to do some of the upgrades and repairs (of which there were many!). Being a poor college student at the time, it was hard to support the cost of ownership of this amazing hot rod. As much as I loved owning it, after two years I had to sadly sell it. I still carry a photo of it, with me standing beside it at age 20.

[@MidYearMitch]

I love the rat roadster project! I watched this back when it was new on tv. You really inspired me to create my own creations and put them out for others to see on KZbin. I forgot that you put a bass drum pedal in this car. I built a ratty 63 split corvette and put a gretsch floating action pedal in it. It gave me a lead foot but it was super cool! Thanks for making years of videos that inspired me to think outside the box.

[@marktadlock5428]

Wow I was taught leading as a child and I watched as everyone moved away from it. I am glad to see it never died.

Glad to see these episodes available as I saw them a while ago on the Powerblock (I think it was called that) Stacey is as entertaining as you expect in a TV show and details a first-class build. Could intimidate the new people as they acquire their skills though the high-level builds always kept one watching. The look of the builds does not age, however. Looked great then. Look great today. Sanitary, is best word for build quality here.

this video was sitting in my watch later playlist for god knows how long. I can hardly sit through a 15 minute video if they're not getting straight to the point, but I sat through this whole video. Watched it August 6th 2024 and I'm currently laying in my bed typing this at 1am or 1:13am on August 7th 2024. I can't stand convertibles nor can I stand roadsters, but man do I almost made an exception. This video makes me want to go pickup a '32 three window coupe from Brookville. Man I had to restrain myself from calling my grandpa because I want to build something with him. I was thinking of getting a gen 1 or 2 mopar and the biggest blower from bds and slapping it in this death trap, or a whipple supercharged 7.3, maybe a Cadillac. Hell I don't know but a godzilla would be crazy in this thing. I'll probably call him later today when he gets off work. Although I have no job, but still a cool idea nonetheless. Also gives me something to talk about with him. I'm trying to become a certified mechanic so I'll somewhat know what I'm doin. May comeback and update for anyone that sees this.

In 1962 one of my classmates Dad put a nailhead Buick in their '32 and blew all our minds when my classmate got to drive it to school. We dreamed of owning a 32 thru 34 ourselves. Yes,, they were plentiful and very affordable in the 1960's. I could have owned a '35 Ford 3 deuces flathead, 3 speed pickup for $300. It may as well have been $3,000 'cause I didn't have that kind a money as a 16 year old. Now, 60 years later I'm too old but the desire is still there and the pocket book is still too flat to own one.

He had scars on his arms because he laid down and wrapped the across the bench seat. that car was built well because he survived the crash. I always wanted to make him one when he was alive, but could never afford the project. Still think that '32 is the best body style for a hot rod ever. my second choice is the crown vic.

In 68 I'm gonna say best power for the buck back then was the small hemi like the 392 they were cheap and inexpensive back then I was buying them for 100-200 bucks and if you hung around the tracks back then you could pick up blown baby hemis that were loaded with speed parts for a few bucks that huys blew up racing thats what I did I use to hang around our 3 local drag strips and usually by the end of the weekend I had a pickup and trailer full of blown engines and parts and I'd take them home and pull parts and put them in my engines and go race. Back in those days the hemis were still in abundance and could pick up old Desoto cars with baby hemis for pennies and then in the mid 70s you had the pontiacs they were torque motors in stock form and you could pick up those old bonnevilles and catalinas with the 389s or 400s in them for a couple hundred and most of them had the powerglide or 400 tranny behind them. We ran a metal bodied t on a 32 chevy frame from 62-78 and we ran anything in it that ran by friday night and drove it to the local track raced all night and drove it back home. Think we had 50 bucks in the car itself and rest of our pocket change went to buying cars for engines and parts. Didn't have all those 9 inch rears back in those old days we ran the old oldsmobile rears with the removable centers or we had a couple old ford banjo rears with franklin centers in them out of old dirt cars but only one of our local tracks would let us run them. I don't remember to many small block chevies back in our early days they were mostly just in the haulers weren't many on our tracks.

I wasn't able to run my Olds powered Roadster after the first run of 11.70 at 123 mph at any NHRA or AHRA track because it wasn't caged... were you able to get timed run at a track?

Am I the only one that wishes to have a dad like stacy?

[@bandwagon240]

Dudes with mullets are still out there, tell your mom to set out some Busch Light and Marlboro Reds every night.

[@orest395]

It’s not that, it’s the fact how much he knows about cars, doesn’t matter the hair, plus it’s too late anyway, it would have been awesome to have a dad like that but I didn’t, since where I came from the car culture was non existent

[@Neworleansickk]

I love you for mentioning Chuck Berry

[@ridinglacs]

You’re dope because you slid through when guys were being weak about working on cars and was on the channel in tv like speed that motivated everyone

[@justincase6954]

350 blown is perfection 🥰

[@loosebruce6637]

Can't believe this episode is 16 years old

[@larrywarren1049]

Thats a hella nice color reminds me of my dads f100 he had when i was little

[@markoverton5858]

That’s an awesome conversion, far less hi tech bs simple raw power proven design, love the turbos great idea 👍 and affordable later on to rebuild the engine without remortgaging your home,I know the Porsche anoraks love the horizontally opposed crank layout for good reason , however this system is much cheaper and has more grunt by far for the bucks, a no brainer 👍👍👍👍

[@basshunter4144]

Ever wonder what happens to all the builds he's done. Been watching this guy for years.

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Most of them get sold to help fund the next build!

[@95Sn95]

I wish I had the financial means to build a Brookville roadsters 32 coupe that was built and accessorized to be a comfortable daily driver, a nice street able 429 for a coolness factor, AC, TKO trans with quick change rear end. Even with a bbf you probably could get decent fuel economy if you keep it mild like 425 to 450 crank and build it with stump pulling TQ you could push a little car like that down the road practically at idle and as spank a yote on demand.. I'm a recovering bowtie guy but after 51 years recently gaining interest in blue oval I would keep a 32 all ford, if I fell into a good deal on any version of an elephant it would be tough to turn down that idea tho... Nothing cooler than a OG HEMI powered 32 ford.... Squirt!

[@Sandman1832]

Personally, I would have done what my dad did and cut the exhaust pipe, adjust it for clearance and the electric cutout, tig it back together and recoat it with cerakote instead of notching the frame to fit the exhaust. To each their own though.

Classic wagons are making a big comeback in the car shows. My favorite is a Vista cruiser, by Oldsmobile.

[@tayro7265]

One of the most common engine made then and now is the Chevy 350 casting #3970010, 4 bolt mains. Set of vortex heads and EFI and your on the high side of 450+hp.

[@billbonu1639]

Chevy did put vortec heads and fuel injection on a 350.it made 195 HP.

[@tayro7265]

@@billbonu1639 Not all Vortex head will work. Most are no better than old bowtie heads. Casting #'s 902 and 680? I think are the right ones. Google it.

[@joe3USA]

Try Speedway motors for "affordable" kits and parts. They have everything 32' Ford. Fiberglass full body $8400 Entire Steel Car $50,000

[@ronsmith7739]

FYI, On all brake lines I use industrial style 10,000 psi lines from the master cylinder to front brakes, rear brakes everywhere. Not a single steel brake line anywhere. Works great from 1974 to the present 2023. I was able to find conversion brake lines here in Houston, Texas.

[@ToxxicRemedy]

I wanted to watch this but I'm 9 mins in and I've already been interrupted by ads 4 times. This is crazy.

[@anthonyslazas6413]

Not a big fan of 32 but I really like how the car turned out.

[@F7Aengineer]

I hope we get Sgt Rock
