I had a redtop and it just didn't look right

Boy, talk about a sleeper. Nobody likes to get beat by a wagon

I love the Chevy Nomad.
I bought a 55 Beauville Wagon Years ago.
straight 6, bench seat, 4 door, powerglide...
dropped in a 350, electric buckets, custom console, 4 speed, 70's vette rims...custom paint and we gave it to my Nephew the night before his wedding.
Shocked his wife even more!
that thing should be sweet as hell when its done!

Nice wall art. What kind of height do you get with the lift in that location? It threw me when I saw it in the corner.

It's 9 foot on the left side and 13 foot on the right side. I'm going to lift the roof 2 foot so I will be 12 foot.

Nicely executed shop.

I bought four of those red casters for a roll around tool cabinet and work table I am building.

So far I'm really liking them, I was thinking about building a small screw jack at all four corners to take the wight off the wheels?

[wagzilla]

so I retired and moved my tool box home

Hey mate just read through your build!

Surprised to see someone in the states with a Stag. We have plenty of them here in Australia, all imports too. I really like them. Please tell me you will eventually do a R34 front conversion on it!

I love the Nomad, I would love one, they are rare to come up for sale... and to give you a idea, a regular old 57 chev bell air 4 DOOR will sell for over 65k down here, want a 2 door 57? over 100k. So Nomads are even rarer!

OK, so not to be too nosey, what's next?

 

[onemanarmy]

wait a minute....the Nissan wagon isn't 25 years old.

when did you import it? Was it when motorex, etc were importing Skylines before they got shut down?

There WERE lots of importers, but getting anything under 25 years old on the streets for personal use is now rather difficult for the avg. Joe.

 

[wagzilla]

OK, so not to be too nosey, what's next?

Well Dan I hope to start working on my nomad, I need to get going on this car lots of fab work ahead of me.
