All I can say is I wish I would have done it sooner.

All the plastic from this model is now just too brittle,I dropped the frame and it broke so just small parts will be used from it and i really wanted to restore it but will have to look for a later release to build.

I now have to repair the modifications I done trying to put a stock frame under it but is starting to look like a car now,its got a stock firewall and inner fenders and will get a heater box.I started this before Revell came out with one.

I have some mud flaps on the way but still need to find some tail lights

I dropped the frame and it broke so the gasser frame might go back under it,I was hoping to use a bunch of parts from the Revell 57 Nomad but its just too brittle and will only use small parts.

I had the body and using the frame and other parts from my Revell 57 Nomad so I am going to build this 57 as a old race car put back on the street,power will be from a dual quad 425 Buick and 4 speed after I remove the automatic trans. Hood will be filled and not sure on the color yet.

Its now parts,found a old MPC 2 door sedan body and using the frame and firewall from the Nomad kit to make it look like a old race car put back on the street.

I just have not done much in resin yet and just seeing if any were made in plastic first.

My 40 year old Revell 57 Nomad is too brittle to restore and would like a wagon and does not have to be a Nomad so what is out there,I know there is a resin Nomad but is there a regular 2 door wagon or a 4 door wagon being made in plastic.

I tried to work on the body and more broke so its going to be used for parts,going to look for a new kit if I want a Nomad again.

Getting closer to being done,need to find mud flaps and tail lights then I can glue it togather.

I am thinking about getting the 65 F100 long bed and convert to a 3/4 ton,I know where I can get the rims and tires but what about a Dana 60. Not really wanting to buy a complete kit to get one so anyone know if one is available in resin.

I can not believe anyone would have thought to make a kit like this,even the box art shows what a mess it is but I wanted to see if I could make it better.

I will do the Revell version the next time,since I had this one I thought I would try to see what I could do with it.
