Good to hear from you Dawg! Don't lose hope...keep looking at it and eventually you will get the mojo to get back at it.
My Nomad project is not on the road yet, but I'm working at it slowly and steadily now.
You can do it!

1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis
1959 Fleetside Apache 1/2 ton, shortbed, big window, 327ci.
Keep at it Ryan! Try to do a little on it every day and keep moving. I've been at mine about 5 times as long as I thought it would take me, but it's getting close. Firing up the 502 last fall was a burst of encouragement....after I figured out that the coolant leaks were NOT the head gaskets. I forgot to tighten the plugs in the heads.
Post some progress pics as you go.
56 Nomad, Ramjet 502, Viper 6-speed T56, C4 Corvette front and rear suspension

56 Chevy 2-door BelAir sedan
56 Chevy 210 4-door sedan

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys
Hopefully I'll be back at it soon!
Laszlo - I bet that was a sigh of relief once you found out it was just a couple plugs that needed tightening!!

I just registered on this site and found this thread, I know it is quite old so good chance I wont see a response but if the original poster hurddawg is still around I would like to discuss this project, I am in the midst of an almost identical restoration of a 1957 4dr HT fully equipped from factory an Atlanta car so much has had to be done to correct environmental damage over the years, some of the original locations are gone. Any how if you are still around and have pictures please respond or PM me. Thanks

Today I had the frame sand blasted to give myself a clean frame to work on. Next step is to fit the suspension on
