    recent 55 Nomad build

    Not advertising, nor do I know this owner... but spotted this recent very custom 55 nomad online and thought I'd post a link to the writeup.

    Very cool and imaginative features included all over this thing.

    A "manly" build for sure....this ain't no chick's build. Think old italian boats and cigar lounges...

    While the car has some nice workmanship, it's not my cup of tea at all.

    The 509 is cool, appears to be a quality build but nothing else I would want besides the big W.

    Pretty cool but to use the term innovative is not warranted. Anyone with the $$$$$ can pick up the Phone and call the roadster shop and order a frame nothing new certainly not innovative..

    I don't like much about it. It looks like a 90's build with the painted bumpers and chrome. The interior is hideous, imo. The under-hood and underside metalwork looks nice but not much beyond that imo.

    Well....now that you said it Laszlo...that interior is a bit hideous for my tastes too. But I liked how they did the inner door panels, and a few other things about it. I'm not big on the tuck and roll look, but someone did a fine job of putting that all together. Just thought I put it up for everyones opinions. And you guys didnt dissapoint.

    Well the stance and wheel size are nice & the Roadster shop pretty much knows their stuff. I didn't mean to be total Rocky downer lol.... but pretty much agreed with all not my style for a trifive.

    Wow, the only other threads with this much agreement on here are those bashing Hildegard.
