56 Nomad with a Hemi, update!! She is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[disabled modeler]

Wild Doc buddy....cant go wrong with a Hemi...or two.

i love it ! great colors , engine ..

i have one suggestion , no ment like being a critic ...: here i go , wheel wise i dig the rims ... but the front wheels are the same width as the rear ones , tyre wise the same ...

what would be ubercool imo is to use the centers of the front rims and eliminate the wider ring , put the center as a rim in a narrow tyre .. and get the staggered look ..

uber wide in the rear and normal size in the front or at least less wide as the rear ... then maybe of possible lower the front just a tiny bit .. i think it would be perfect then ..

 

again just a suggestion / ment well

would look kool for sure,but in my a.d.d. Mind and knowing on a real car with all wheel drive it may not work well. This why I kept it all the same width. I know on a real car if the offset is off a lot front to rear it'll cause drivetrain noise as it fights itself..

good idea though as it would look kooler........ and your right Richard, I took it as it was meant.... ?

Outside mirror and a decal on the back window and the 56 is DONE!!!!!!! Then onto the boat and trailer!!!!!! Not much to go on them either... trying to get them done for the NNL in April. Hoping I can make it there, hope to be recovering but may be able to get out for awhile.......

[DrKerry]

As of today the 56 is DONE!!!!!! Will be posting finished pics of it here later today... then I'll get to work on the boat to finish it up. Then when I get that done they'll both be put together and pics will be put in the finished section as one....... 

Ok, here are a few teaser pics

Hey Kerry that's pretty darn cool!  Hope you can be at NNL East this year!

Did you see the newest episode of Mob Steel?  They did a patina rod  '56 Chevy wagon with a Rousch Ford V8.  I watched it tonight so it was great to see your Nomad done!

[moparfarmer]

Dr.Kerry you do good work..Will we see you and this model at the NNL North in May?

[DrKerry]

Thanks guys!!!!! Tom, I would love to get out your way some year but funds put a damper on the fun stuff!!!! Did not see that episode yet, may have to look for it though.... 

 

MoparFarmer, again same thing I'd love to get out more often but funds won't allow it!! Hoping some year!!!!!

im hoping I can make the Milwaukee NNL this year. I'll be coming off a surgery and not sure how I'll be feeling then.....

[mod3l Lover]

  Are you doing the boat build somewhere also?

I would love to see that happen, but I don't want

to get on any skies behind it!!
