Stacey David 250 GTO Build

.... And then George Barris will appear and say, "It's still a Datsun." :sick:

It'll get a smallblock Chevy engine.

I'll bet they'll even add a supercharger too. At the least the turbocharged L28E engine with the most recent "Painless wiring system" for probably the entire car.

Do you think they will work over the interior?

I sense a roll bar, and maybe even a wheelie bars...

I fear the worst.

Stacey acquired a Yellow Nissan Patrol (Updates: Rescuing the Yellow Nissan Patrol | Stacey David's GearZ). It would be great if you could inquire on the status of that project.

Thanks,

I missed the show. Did anybody watch it?

I will have to program the VCR for the next time it will be on.

I caught the last half and only saw the Z & the fiberglass front end, everything else was about products or projects, so the first half must of explained the build coming up.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Yeah, they only do a part of it so you have to "watch the exciting conclusion!" to see how it turns out. There's only so much detail you can show in a 30-mnute program, and you can easily do 2 hours on this conversion.

Or, you don't even get to see the details of the build at all- only a few shots like a time-lapse video. Otherwise, they try spend a lot of air-time trying to sell you sponsoring products (of course.)

Did you see what engine was in there?

Assuming the power doesn't go out (again) the VCR is programmed (and the VCR clock accurately set!)

Stacey is a pretty neat guy. I got to meet him a few years ago when he was still doing Trucks on Spike. Got to tour his shop and go to his house and see a few of his other projects. He also told me that he had an S30 back in the day. His enthusiasm is real.

I watched (listened to) the show today, and there was no mention of the GTO project. All they talked about was how to put double turbos on a V-8 and some other unrelated stuff.

I watched the show and he did show the kits available and it looked like a 77 280 in the garage. Maybe there is a future show with the build?
