1958 Chevrolet Nomad "Frost Bite" Patina Rod

I like what I am seeing. I love the 58 wagons also. I have been keeping an eye out as well for one to possibly replace the 48 woodie I just sold.

I dig the dog dish caps and thinner white walls..

 

Any updates?

 

May just be my computer, but I can't see any of the photos from photobucket.....did
you move them or change anything about them? All I see is some boxes with
writing in them.

 

Awwww, Photobucket says you've got too many images stored...time for you to step up to the plate and send 'em some money , and go Pro, so the rest of us can see the pix of your car...

Beautiful car! Looking foward to you clearing it. I messaged you but could you share your clear process as far as how you go about it (from CLR to final product). Looks like Patina on glass when your done. I love "Recession Rodding"!

 

She's for sale! Come and get'er!

 

Pretty much after CLR, just mask off your car or truck properly, blow dry the hell out of it, Prep solvent the car with a couple passes and tack rag it. Then off to loading up your gun with the proper mix of clear and catalyst.

 

I laid down some lines on the air tank.

Blasted damn flash rust! Needless to say I blasted them again

Sit ubu, sit. Good boy.

 

In a lowered stance, not all the way deflated.

 

I'm Leary of using the word patina, because it has become so popular, but the look of a true survivor will never go out of style.

Looks great!

 

What all do you mask when you clear it? I noticed when you cleared Old Gold you didn't have the side trim or grill and bumper masked in the pictures you posted. You might have done that. I am just wondering.

Also what brand clear do you like to use. Thanks!

 

Mask everything off or remove what you don't want cleared. Only PPG Concept 2021. For a Long Roof Wagon, you will need at least a Gallon kit and it is going to set you back about $350.00. This covered 4 passes on the roof, and two on the entire body, mixes 4:1:1.

 

Thankstina!

 

Thank you. I've got a lot more practice of ahead of me to get to where I want to be with lines, but practicing on the regular definitely shows progress!

 

The irony here is breathtaking.

 

It looks nothing like what it did when it was found.

It was CLR'd, clearcoated and striped.

So the look of a true survivor is gone.



But at least this one doesn't have the ridiculous donk wheels.

So that is a big improvement...

 

That car is off the Hook.Whis I could stripe like that!

 

How is it not a TRUE nomad. The owner did not add the name plate. It came from Chevrolet as a Nomad and is still a Nomad today. A true Nomad at that.

I agree with 110% However, the Hardcore tri-five guys turn their noses up when they see a four-door Nomad as it is sacrilegious to own one of these beauties.

 

Amazing work.

 

Cool wagon. The WW tires and white wheels with caps really set it off.

 

I wonder if hes gonna clear over all that "patina" on the rocker, and in the passenger side doors...

 

A fresh paint job in that O.G. factory tutone Color will make one beautiful wagon.

 

Thanks! The deep dish 14x6" are trick. I love them.

No Clear. Car is going up for sale real soon, I've got another car to build.

 

sell it? I was hoping to see it at next years round up. doh

 

You might, it could be heading that way!!!!!
