55 Nomad Delivery Gasser Overhaul

Recommended Posts

This was originally one of my dads old kits he built when he was a kid. The original build of this kit was prob done sometime back in the 70s, and for whatever reason it was originally nailed together. Complete with solder exhaust headers and lazily somewhat brushed paint job, with most of the stuff built out of styreene and other things I found lying around, except for the supercharger which came from an old MPC street charger kit and the wheels. Before you ask the rims and tires are off some random unknown Tamiya F1 car kit, and i was unwilling to get rid of the front tires even though they are way too wide. Also every now and again the front clip and door randomly decide to line up properly and other times they dont, really whats happening here is that the kit has gained sentience and is fighting me every chance it gets.

Very nice. gasser!!

Thanks! i wish the body panels lined up better for the photos, i think when it was originally nailed together the body wasn't sitting in properly leaving it warped in the weirdest ways.
