Man, that thing looks EVIL!

I love so much about this build. The clever sectioning, the weathering, in fact..the whole concept. I dig the split screen with the centre rib.

Are those rear tyres SATCO Mickey Thompson's?

This is the type of hot rod I like at the 1:1 shows. The imagination and creativity that goes into them keeps me scrathing my head for a long time afterword and puts a smile on my face. I study all the welds and the way the chassis is fabricated. All the little add-ons, and the use of unusual items. This is art. I have never seen a Nomad cut up like this in the 1;1 world but, what a concept! Maybe we will now that it made it in the magazine. Congratulations on a great build!

Thanks geetee66,the rear tires are just the no name ones out of the AMT kits.

Thanks Ron.I wish could take credit for all the imagination and creativity, but most of that would have to go to Chris Walker and In the Weeds customs that built the 57 wagon that inspired this.It did make it into Rat Rod magazine and they are supposed to have a model car section in the magazine in the future issues.

Thanks Martin, Glad you like it. I will try to scan it,I'm working on a 57 version of this. It may end up getting casted by Jimmy Flintstone ,if he is still interested.

Exactly. In the chassis shot I didn't see anything linking the front wheels to the steering wheel. Neat model, though. I like it.

It's there Harry, fourth pic down you can see it coming from the firewall...
