'56 Nomad Shop Car

My take on a late 60s,/early 70s shop car that might have seen some street warrior duties:

Starting with Revell's Nomad, I shaved some of the side trim, emblems and the tailgate chrome strips. Used the side glass to make it a delivery wagon and shaved off the reveal moldings on the side and tailgate. Fireball door handles and shaved down #8 straight pins work for the locks.

The auto trans was ditched in favour of a four speed, along with a Fireball Q-Jet, some headers, one of those chrome triangular air breathers and a set of traction bars to get the early 70s look. Wheels are styrene from the Fuzz Buster kit and the chrome slots are from a 60 Corvette.

Chrysler Cool Vanilla basecoat two-toned with Model Master insignia Red and a coat of urethane clear finish off the exterior.

Comments welcome. :)
