TooOld Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I pulled this from my stash a month or so ago and started cutting it up . I chopped the roof , slid it forward 1/4 inch , and changed the angle of the tailgate . Then I cut the grooves in the roof to mimic the original Nomads . Next I tucked that big ol' bumper in close to the body , opened the grille , and added headlights from the Revell 2009 Challenger . Side mirrors were taken from the Revell '86 Monte Carlo . After all that was done I lost interest and sat it aside for a few weeks . I was ready to pack it up when I decided to finish it and get it over with , so I glued the hood shut and made it a curbside ! The paint is Duplicolor Chili Pepper Red over base coats of flat black and bright silver , then cleared with Rustoleum Automotive Enamel . The wheels and tires are Pegasus . I can only post photos in a " reply " so they will be posted next . Thanks and I hope you like it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's the best version of the Alternomad I've seen Bob!! The lowered roof makes all of the difference! I have a project that I put the roof from the Alternomad onto the Impala SS. Now I know what I need to do to make it look better! Thanx for showing me how it's done! Thanks Roger ! It's an easy chop . PM me if you have any questions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
