1956 Chevy Nomad from "Overhaulin"

[TheCat]

This was a fun build. Another one that was inspired by watching the TV Show Overhaulin.

Model kit from Revell. All sides, trims and rear chrome was done with Bare Metal. One panel at a time.

Yes, I used Bare Metal for the rear hatch ribs as well.

That is one great looking 56 Nomad and I'm old enough to remember what they actually looked like.

[sjordan2]

Superb. I don't know how you 1/24-25 guys do it this small.

[Modelsbyroni]

Very nice and clean build.

That looks really great. I think the 56 is a "forgotten" year, stucked in between the 55 and the 57. Its a real beauty

Very nice work.

You got the look and the stance just right.

Keep up the good work!

I've been thinking of doing this car! That episode was one of my favorites. I actually built a '56 Nomad many years ago. I kitbashed two old Revell kits in the mid 70's. Time to build another one.

Your model looks very nice! Now you only need the guy, and the box with donuts.....

Gorgeous build. The '56 is my favorite of the Tri-5s.

Beautiful car and from one of my favorite shows too. I was actually picked for that show years ago with my 1980 GMC Jimmy and I got the news 2 weeks after I sold it Oh well I guess. I love the 56 and you really did it justice.

Not a big fan of a '56

but that one has to be the BEST ONE I ever saw.
