The types of vehicles David works on range from off-road four wheel drives to hot rod street trucks to around the woods all-terrain vehicles—or just about anything else that has an engine and some way to steer it.
To fulfill that goal, he became a student of legendary hot-rodders (custom car builders) George Barris, John Buttera and Darryl Starbird.
Eager to seize the opportunity, David joined Mel Fair to host the show beginning in its 1999 season.
David continued to host and produce the show until the end of the 2005 season, when he chose to pursue, in his own words, "other opportunities".
On March 31, 2007—and a bit before that for his loyal fan base—the meaning of "other opportunities" was revealed as a new show called Stacey David’s GearZ, airing on ESPN2.
