dragcarz Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 It took me a while to get theses posted, but here it is. Another Modified Production build. I really miss this class of racing. AMT 55 Chevy Nomad kit, mostly out of the box. SMP decals, Testors Classic White, with Splash clear. 7
Zippi Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Really nice 55 Nomad. Great detailing and the white looks fantastic.
Hmann68 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Very cool Nomad! Makes a tough looking race car! Nicely done ?
TarheelRick Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Beautiful long roof racer. Very nice attention to detail. As you, I also miss those days of Modified Production racing.
echo Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Modified Production was a great class as is your model. Very nice build.
gwalk13 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Hello I am a friend of Joe Scottos. He loooves his old race cars very dearly. Your work here is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! We just happened across this forum and he is wondering are these kits available that he can get somewhere? Any help is appreciated, I would love to get one in his hands! Garrett Edit: For some reason i only saw some of the pics originally. I now see everything involved and realize it is not a kit. I cannot even imagine how many meticulous hours were spent here!

R. Thorne Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 The 1/25 scale kits are still available and, I think, the decals from smp are available. The gentleman who makes them is a member here and could possibly help you. As you have a personal interest in this, perhaps contact a local Hobbylobby or other hobby shop and inquire whether someone could build one for your friend. I know a lot of us would be willing to build a kit for the owner of a great car like this. I am currently building a drag car of the mid sixties with the help of the son of the original owner of the car. Heck, try building it yourself. It’s not brain surgery as most of this build would be out of the box. You might find a new hobby.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Great looking model. Thanks to whomever for bringing the thread back up. I really miss this class of racing too. 1

The model shown above is based on this 1/25 scale kit from AMT, that's been reissued in several different boxings, not all of which are shown below.

R. Thorne Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 One of my favorite cars to watch back in the mid Sixties. Started a model of it a couple years ago (I have a hard time finishing models)
athlon Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Very nice, I like the way you kept the front suspension stock looking, very nice work getting rid of the molded in exhaust Edited September 2, 2023 by athlon
Zippi Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Great looking 55 Chevy Nomad Roger. I've seen this one in person and the pictures don't do it justice. Very nice build.
