I may be in the same situation, as my console (when finished) will be fabricated in steel. (not wood. No wood in my nomad. Period) Wood went out in cars along with leaf springs about 100 years ago...

I vote for this option. Get your plan B figured out with another upholsterer and move on. The clock is ticking on us all and you've spent too much time on this aspect of your build.

It's coming along nicely in my opinion. I wouldn't loose sleep over the wheel well situation. Just accomodate for it in your design and get it done.



I think you are getting to the point of...

Got it. Wanting to know what the correct methodology is and you've covered that.

So a 12v relay with a diode would probably have a marking on it like this symbol?

Laszlo,
I'm circling back to your comment:


Take a look at this dual fan wiring diagram posted on Griffin Radiators website.

The 12v side is the orange wire-pin 85, and the ground side is...

Didn't you have a battery access door cut into the rear passenger inner fender? How will you deal with that if you enclose the inner fender?

Let him drive it Mike. :p

Welcome from the left coast. Post a pic or two of your 57. We'd love to see what you are doing with it.

This is such a personal taste/choice decision that I don't feel compelled to give my opinion. I think you are miles ahead of me on this anyway. Keep on with it Laszlo!

Great 57 coming up right there! Nice paint job. Stay with it. You'll soon be driving and enjoying it. :-)

Welcome Mike. You (and your brother) seem like "do-ers" regarding your car builds (not just talkers with no action).
We encourage you here, and we'd like to help when you need it.
Post any...

You are a generous man Sid. And we all thank you for that. :)

Welcome! Like Chevynut suggests, post a few pics of what you're starting with---where you're at with your build and then use the subforums to ask lots of questions.

I personally like this forum...

Put a link on here somewhere to donate $ to help you offset the costs...

You're making great progress. I see a finished Nomad coming up soon.

But using wood?

Hi John. Do you have a Tri5 now? or are you looking? or are you an admirer? Nice to meet you.

Welcome Bruce. Lots of tri5's come up for sale in various ways all the time. Do your homework and find one that fits your style. They are plentiful.

Fantastic work and thank you for documenting it here.
BTW. what gauge of sheetmetal are you using for most of these patch panels?

Everything on this garage is done, except for the barnwood siding and stackstone on the one wall under the patio cover
Here's the final patio cover with the shiplap underside, recessed lights, and...

what are you showing us in that Holley cable/connector? Its 2 wires going into a 3 pole connector...why?

Good to hear you are taking some time off from this hobby. That's good for everyone once in a while.
And glad to hear you are moving steadily thru the wiring process and this new/old vette will be...

Wiring is fun. How you coming along Richard?

I have Classic Instruments gauges. They work fine. They came with all the parts included with the Nomad purchase when I bought it, so i used them. But after driving with them for a while, the gray...

One more of the front. Still need to put the stackstone rock at the bottom (in the area where there is no color stucco coat)

A few more pics of the progress.
At this point, it's all done inside, and the new cabinets mounted, and all the storage racks put back in.
My wifes Acadia Denali is now parked back inside.
