Customs russ meeks nomad a roller again

well got real busy in tha last few weeks and got the body finished up, pulled the frame out cleaned it and got the body on it. gotta thank my father, brother, big robbie and mondo for there help it was flat pouring down when we got the body on. everything came together perfect, now gonna wet sand it and paint it for the last time. still tossed on color love candy red but it looks so good black. im thinking black, here's a few updated pictures of the body frame match. also had to pull the ford out with the nomad and snap a picture it was such a nice sunny day

 

Looks awesome! Your not having Rick South spray it?

 

don't realy know the history of the car,but your doing a hellofa job getting it back together.beautiful

 

would love to have ricky paint it !!!!!

 

I'll bug him about it tomorrow.

 

I love the Sectioned Nomad!! Love it! Great work getting it back together.

 

well got some time and got more done on the wagon. installed the brake and clutch pedal assy, brake booster and master cylinder, finished hooking up the brake lines, got the firewall pad, wipers and heater in. ran out of time but gonna bleed the brakes and for the first time since ive owned it maybe it will stop on its own. few more pic's

 

Looking great ,you are getting closer! Do you plan to have it on the road this year?

 

hope so hey its only been 8 years to get brakes on it. ha ha ha

 

that dash looks interesting,do you have pics of what it looked like then?

 

Looks great ROD!

 

Boy howdy, it's been a long time since that one has been on the road or shown if memory serves right.

 

WOW!! cool cars both of 'em!! your Nomad looks real nice in black I reckon...got any more pics of your Ford? Lookin forward to the progress pics of the Nomad as it comes together . Real nice car PB

 

I get a hard on every time I see these pictures!

 

Great looking Nomad. Would leave it "Back in Black". Keep us posted.

 

well i wish i had pictures of the dash from the day! R&C in 1968 it had the stock dash with s/w gauges in it, then when russ re-did it in the late 60's he cut the dash out and it just followed around the winsheild and was covered in vinyl. there was just the stock column sticking out. when i got the car someone had cut some of it out and i didnt have any pictures so i did the best of both worlds i put a steel dash in it took the humps out, put the gauges back up in the dash, speedo above the column. then i took a 64 impala tilt and reformed the lower cover so it fits the dash bezel, it fits together slick. then i used a 64-66 factory gm wood wheel hub and a unknow wood wheel. here is some pictures and thanks for all the kind words.

 

Nice car! I will always have a soft spot for nomads I had one for one of my first projects...

 

That's really cool. I am an old friend of Russ's Have not talked to him in a long while. How is he? Is he still kickin'? That man has more talent in his little finger than ten men. And a great guy too. I miss Russ.

 

hey curbspeed, i dont talk to russ, ive seen him a couple of times seems to be doing good.

 

great car, more updates!

 

Yes! An all time favorite!

 

Nice work on a classic Chevy!

 

Thanks for the response. I think I'll give Russ a call. What bedliner product did you use on the floor? Looks good. Brush or spray? I bought some that you brush on and I don't really like it. You got a badass car going together there. Too cool.

 

i had a truck bedliner shop here in town do the inside of the car, ill get you the name of what we used on the bottom, it was a spray on stuff looked and worked great. very durable.

 

God it looks great in black! Just my biased opinion...
