    New family member

    I scored another 1955 nomad this past weekend in Kansas.
    This thing is unbelievably solid & complete. I'm selling my other one if anyone is interested.
    Thanks
    Rocky

    Are the rear wheel wheel openings on the 55 nomad have the more tear drop look instead of the typical 55 wheel opening? Just never noticed

    55 Nomads have there own rear wheel opening different than the Belair or regular wagon.

    Very nice find. Always great to see a Nomad project. A another one saved.

    They're not really "teardrop" shaped like the 56 and 57, they're like a regular 55 opening only significantly taller. The rear wheel openings is one of the things that I love about the 55 Nomad. It's the only car that has different shaped wheelwell openings than other models in the same year. Makes it easier to fit big tires on it.

    Started mocking up my instrument panel layout this past weekend.
    I plan to run 3 3/8 sw gauges in the original bezel. They will be mounted behind a black panel so only the instrument face will show. I will also install plexiglass over the black panel to give it a factory look. Keeping the factory turn signal arrows and bowtie highbeams. Will also include check in light for lsx and brake light.

    The center console will house the rest of the instruments along with a/c vents. I plan to install speakers and amp inside console along with iphone connections to the original upgraded wonder bar radio. Original Bench seat is going to be used.
