Good job, what's next? haha

What happened earlier today and a sneak peek at the paint! (it's suppose to look like that!) I wanted to use the headers from the Hemi, but to fit them, I had to cut holes in to the fenders to fit them.. now they come out of the back of the wheel well, which is, if I say so myself, AWESOME. First, I realized that the headers don't fit... So I cut a hole in the wheel wells, because Prostreet. Next I made the axle longer so the wheels would be close the wheel wells in the rear. First, I got a rod, this case a clear rod. I stuck it in the inner rim and then trimmed it. Then I superglued the inner rim to the axle. I'm good. After that, I successfully had a lengthened axle. I'm in love with this stance though.... The front wheels are off of the 1970 (?) Coronet Super Bee by AMT, rear are from my parts box, I think they're from the Shelby 350gt, the blue one... I think.. The base paint is Israeli Gray from Floquil. I sprayed it at around 35 PSI. Here is a sneak peek of the almost finished paint on the body. I'm going back with Israeli Gray tomorrow and redefining some lines and also throwing new colors in there... Thanks for looking! Advice and recommendations welcome! -Glenn

Children, can you say barn find? wow. Great job. Do more cars ahahaha

Well there's no going back now! I sprayed it. The color is Israeli Gray by Floquil, (I think they are no longer in business, but them made paint and it was sprayable out of the bottle, no thinning, anything, just shake it up and it went on sooo good. Sucks they went out of business...) at around 35 PSI. The paint went on excellent, no runs, drips or spiders. Started with a light dusting, 2 coats of that, 1 coat of a heavier dusting. The sanding still showed through, but that's okay, it's a resto car paint doesn't have to be perfect or absolute garbage. I think this'll turn out good.. Thanks for looking Advice/recommendations welcome! -Glenn John Buzzerio, do you happen to have any more pictures of that Nomad? I am kind of going off of that.. Hope your Road Runner agrees with you like how mine did.

I have decided. I am going to paint it red. Just kidding, I'm going to paint it a light primer and go over certain areas with a different color, probably a yellow or metallic green and make it look like a resto prostreet. I hope this comes out good. Pictures tonight or tomorrow morning.... Thanks for looking! -Glenn

Good idea, I'll have to keep looking at Nomad paint schemes and hopefully I'll pick one and paint it tomorrow... -Glenn

Hey guys, I'm building a 55 Nomad prostreet and I cannot decide on what color to paint it. Any suggestions? Check out the build here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90213 Thanks for the suggestions! -Glenn

Yea, but you know what I mean. i have them in my parts box, I was going to use them in my 55 Nomad!

I just primed the body for the last time, hopefully... I'm going to start painting tomorrow... I'm still torn over the paint though, Should I paint it yellow with a dark silver top Or primer gray with accents of color, to look like a resto prostreet??? Please help. -Glenn

No, I think he's talking some others, He says, the rest are local finds. This one was probably a local find..

Excited to see this build, already looks awesome! Did you nab those slicks from the 41 willys?

Jim this looks amazing!

This is awesome! Just find some slicks for it, and make it slammed haha

I have a styrene stripe in there, I read about that in a magazine I saw in a hobby store.. Thanks for the advice.. Also that is really cool that the Nomad in that picture is where you lived at one point, that's cool... I might do the yellow one with darksilver or that one.. not sure... Thanks -Glenn

Currently I am sorting out the rear suspension and trying to get the wheels to go up in the tub... Posting pictures later.. I also figured out how I'm going to get the big, wide motor into the skinny, small engine compartment, I'll show you later. Thanks for looking! Advice/recommendations welcome! -Glenn

Not a lot at all... Amazing kit man.... Good job.

Hope the top comes out as good as the car! I think I'm in love with that car

wow, that looks amazing..Have you started the engine, chassis or interior?

oh this looks interesting....

Day 3 Today I sanded down some of the putty. mostly in the front, the B pillar, the front quarter panel, the hood and the trunk and back clip. Here's the transformation of the front clip and also the front quarter panel. Putty dried Sanding begins! (Hood is inculded) Here is the rear clip and trunk and also the B pillar. Putty dried I sanded to far down on the bottom clip so I had to reputty it. Also, the left space between the tail light and the trunk lid were very, very uneven so I reputtied that too, while I was at it, I also reputtied the right one too. I decided I did not want a rear bumper so where the bumper meets the body, I puttied over the space it would install into.. Thanks for looking at my build. Advice/recommendations are welcome! -Glenn

Can't wait to see what you'll do with this kit. My brother built this kit a couple of years ago, I think he has some chassis to interior to body fitment issues.... I'll be updating my Nomad later.. Good luck, Glenn

The technique you use for the tips of the rear wheels is genius, never would've thought of that... Good job, hope the forum server will let you keep posting here!

Wow, nice job, hope to see more from ya

If self-driving cars become the only ones on the road, what happens to the 254,212,610(as of 2009) registered vehicles in the US?? Are they traded for money? Like Cash for Clunkers? (speaking of cash for clunkers, I saw a video of a junk yard that had Cash for Clunkers there and there was a late 60s camaro, probably a 68 or 69 and also a 64 Impala... I hope someone saved them...) Or do they just becomes hunks of metal sitting in our driveways...Will the government put us on trial if we don't drive a self driven car? What happens to the classic cars? Would they just stop selling gas to discourage people driving gas cars???? People wouldn't have it....

Can't wait til you put this all together! What's the next project? You should try a classic muscle car, just for fun?
