55 Nomad Gasser

[62ss]

OK. Heres my 55 Nomad that I just finished.
AMT kit painted Testors Deja Blue and White.
I used the 396 from the Revell 66 Chevelle wagon. I altered the kit intake manifold to fit the big block so I could still use the velocity stacks. Also added a Prestons pre wired distributor and reshaped the kits small block headers to fit.
The interior is matching blue and white, Added parts box bucket seats and shifter and carpeted it with flocking.
I also cut out the molded in exhaust system and filled in the holes in the chassis.
BMF ed the body and added MCG photoetched BelAir emblems.
Hope you like it, Comments welcome.

that is so sweet. nicely done. i remember back in the day, you would see nomads built just like this roaming the streets.

I really like this one,Ed!

But,man...I came across a version of this kit (the Boyd's wheeled one) in my shed ;ast week,and it's hard to resist the urges to jump on a gasser conversion of my own-while still having 3 WIP's on the bench and a pair waiting for the "NEXT!!!" slot,LOL!
