This is the 1955 Chevy Nomad I am now working on. 57 Fuel Injected 283.
I should have put in some fine wire as a U-boltI more or less finished the 61 Ranchero and went ahead and started a 55 Nomad. I wish I had that in High School many years ago. I envision a 57 Vette F.I. engine and 4 speed. Note that I almost put in a 4 speed hydromatic like the Olds and Pontiac had. Did you know it could be ordered in a 57 Chevy pickup, factory stock. I happen to own one (not running unfortunately). Anyway, I added a custom made second exhaust that came out pretty well, I think. Zoom in on the 2 pics above. The dash came out well too. Tedious! Not so good up close though. Trunk door and side chrome complements to Molotow pens. Incredible pens and cost a mint too. Below is a close up of the dashboard. Zoom in to see the mistakes. On the right is the Battery and cables next to my home made traction bars modeled after the real ones I made for my 56 sedan. The big end goes on rear end mount and the black snubber just presses against the front of the spring. I should have put in some fine wire for the U-bolts to hold the snubber end to the spring.
OK, finally did some more work. Below we have the top view of the front with hood off. Notice the fake wiring. To the right is the 1957 283 Corvette engine, chromed up a little. Below these 2 is the finished frame. Note the steerable front wheels. I built this car from a partly built kit with many parts missing or glue slobbered and it was a pain to clean up and make parts. If you zoom in you can just make out the traction bars in the back that are white in this picture, not red. The drive shaft is not there as I wanted to be able to pull the engine out on my display sometimes. For that reason, I left off the hood, grill and radiator. I can always add them but once glued in, very hard to undo. The relatively final picture is mostly a complete car. I hope you like it as much as I do.
