About Gear Heads
What is Gear Heads?
The Gear Hads TV show is based on Fastlane Performance an automotive performance and customization shop located in Houston, Texas. Fastlane specializes in various vehicles, including sports cars, muscle cars, trucks, and SUVs. The shop ranges in services to enhance vehicle performance, such as engine modifications, forced induction systems (superchargers, turbochargers), exhaust upgrades, suspension enhancements, brake upgrades, and more. The show followed the owners Nick Field and Rick Ford in their everyday challenges in a shop full of young testosterone-filled mechanics with the goal of maximum horsepower. BLOOD, SWEAT, and SPEED, one car at a time.
What is new with Fastlane & Gear Heads
Fastlane was founded in 2004 by 2 guys who have been working on cars in Houston since 1993. Rick Ford and Nick Field are part of the “old school” contingent of Fastcar builders that have seen Houston become a Mecca for Big Horsepower enthusiasts. Over the course of 20-plus years, this team has seen everything from the first Fox Bodies to Ford GTs.
Fast forward to 2023, the shop has expanded over the last few years since making the TV show Gearheads. The shop not only specializes in Roush performance upgrades and custom builds. The guys have a full CNC business in full swing. With time split between two businesses, it’s been hard to focus on relaunching the TV show. With a shop expansion planned and a shop full of builds, filming has been delayed until the fall of 2023.
