Stacey David 250 GTO Build

[gnosez]

Seems that Stacey is building a GTO replica using a 280Z and they asked for a set of our frame rails. Looks like a 600-hp engine could be installed.

Here's what I got today from them -

What body is he using, and who does the actual work?

[gnosez]

As mentioned a 280

[TomoHawk]

No, it it an Alpha body, a Simpson one, Reaction Research, or what?

Do you know if it's the coupe, or the spyder?

Good for BAD DOG.

In a few years there will be many ads of people trying to sell there unfinished GTO project.

One of the few car shows I like.... that and the two brothers on NPR Saturday AM's. Good stuff from the USA

Great to hear Bad Dog is getting some well deserved exposer.

Don't mind Stacey's show, its a bit of an obvious vendor advertizing platter though. Those two idiots on NPR are a riot to listen too. Caught them by accident one day on a weekend roadtrip and just about lost it in traffic laughing at them.

Maybe we should start our own YouTube channel advertising our own amazing Z parts vendors. Everyone send me samples of your products for free and I'll talk them up every Sunday morning while I install them on my car. Deal? You tool vendors, send me free tool boxes, welders, metal working machines, etc and I'll have them in the back ground during the taping, just like Stacey!

Oh, and I'll need a wacky side kick too. Auditions start Saturday when I get back.

Sorry to say that Click and Clack (Tom and Ray Magliozzi aka "The Tappet Brothers") retired in October 2012 after "only" a 35 year run. Fortunately the reruns are still being broadcast.

I am even more sorry (and hurt) that zKars would even think that auditions for a "wacky sidekick" are required. I can certainly follow instructions if they are repeated s l o w l y (and often) enough. Sniff!

I generally like Stacy Davids show. He is pretty straight forward guy and he does give good advice. Plus I can actually feel his enthsiasm coming through the TV. Which is nice wthout feeling forced or fake.

Great work!

Just trying to be fair persimmon. We have the makings for a reality show FULL of whacky Z people around here.

[gnosez]

They contacted me months ago and I was not allowed to mention anything until now and was not told much about the project so I am not sure what FG body they plan on using.

[Zedyone_kenobi]

unfortunately I am sure he will put a V8 in there.

Not much love for the non-american crowd on his show.
