Very nice. Great work on the decals.

I always liked this paint scheme. Decals were large but manageable. I think this was the car they put the roof hatch in so he could get out in a hurry if need be? I didn't add that detail.

Great job, nice color and foiling. Love the old land yachts.

Excellent job!

Wow! Scale drum brakes. That's something I haven't seen before. Must have been fun with all those little springs and levers

Sweet! Was the whole thing decals?

Nice sponsor on the trunk! I'm diggin' the hauler as well.

Looks cool! The pics are a little hard to see, how did you do the 'pitted chrome'?

Very nice. Those Chevelles were cool. I like the paint scheme too.

I've built so many Monogram NASCARs I could do it in my sleep (some might say I have on occasion). I say build what you like

Very nice. Love those 67-72 Chevys.

Excellent job on an obscure car!

Wow. Tanks aren't shiny, but you've got it down on cars.

Great job! Love the '60s-'70s cars when you could tell them apart.

Way nice Lizardlust. Dig the working hood pins and hinges.

Cool. Wouldn't be a Petty fan would you?

Very nice outlaw. Welcome to the forum!

Add my kudos, nice job! When you really get down to it, an Xacto, glue, and sandpaper (plus 40 years of patience) are really all you need. All the rest just make it easier and more enjoyable, which is why we do it in the first place.

Definitely needs more cowbell! And a peace sign or two.

If you love NASCAR, you've got to have a 3 car or two. Here's mine.

X2. Love the old front-engined diggers! Can't wait to see it finished (without the toast crumbs)

A TR4A and a MGA. Both cars my dad had when I was little.

So a little more googling and I find that the Buick and Oldsmobile wagons of '59 have virtually identical rooflines to the Chevy. This appears to be the way to go.

Wow. Can you say cowboy cadillac?

I'm looking to build a '59 Cadillac Nomad wagon (Nomillac...Caddymad?) using the Ecto-1 and Monogram convertible as a base. Anyways, I've been piecing together some drawings using my very limited skills with Windows Paint program. I'm pretty comfortable with shortening the beast to the stock wheelbase of 130", according to my research Nomads were based on convertibles? Where I'm unsure is the roof treatment. Here's the stock Ecto-1: Here it is shortened to the convertible wheelbase (approx)and chopped slightly to fit the convertible windshield height: The roof seems a little too tall (deep?), but I'm looking for opinions about the B and C pillars. Here's a '59 Chevy Nomad roof grafted on: So what do you think?
