My 55 Nomad "under construction" update:

[Troberts]

I hope I am doing this correctly...just wanted to attach a few pics on my progress so far. I have all my interior trim painted and have just finished reupholstering my seats. I was concerned doing the seats myself but I am pleased with how they turned out. If hurricane Arthur is not to bad tonight I plan on going over to my friends paint/body shop and work on the little remaining body work. Hopefully He will have the painting completed in the near future.

Looking good. When you say doing upholstery yourself, do you mean you sewed it or just installing it? Very nice either way. I never do upholstery myself.

Thanks - but no sewing by me I bought my complete interior including headliner and carpeting from Ciadella's and I am doing the installation myself.

Thanks guys - I am going to paint it GM/Chevy color called "Crystal Claret", a deep Cherry Red metallic. It is the color you see on my interior trim pieces above.

Smooth 56 - If you go down about 5 thread entries below this one after you select "Nomads" you will see my previous thread "My 55 Nomad is under construction" which I first posted a couple months ago of my Nomad pics in gray primer. We will be finishing up a little more body work and hopefully will be painting it in the next couple weeks or so....I am looking forward to that day and will post some pics of the paint job then.

I think that color is going to look great on it. Didn't see the other thread but have now lol. Looks like it wont be to long before you will be driving. Keep up the good work.
