    Good guys custom of the year

    Has anyone seen this Nomad?
    Hand made sheet metal hood bar and extensions, for a perfect fit. I don't care for the chopped top, or the extended gauge pod area.
    What really looks interesting to me is the transition from the console to the dash.

    I'm not a huge fan of that console because it looks to "fat" to me. Like Lee, I also don't like the extended gauge panel. Where's the e-brake and the other pedal?

    I don't remember you trying to lead me anywhere on mine, but here's what I ended up with, and I think it flows well with the dash. It'll look a whole lot better finished, imo.

    Well your getting old my friend I even did a 3d model of it in your interior build thread. I told you to make the radius blend into the dash to match the instrument and or clock radius on the dash. Similar as is done on the 57. Nothing wrong with what you did but I did try to lead you down the path.......

    I'm not sure what you're talking about Rocky, but I've looked through every one of my interior threads here and this is the only thing I found where you did any 3D stuff for me. And I don't see anything about my console anywhere. Do you have the other pics you're referring to?

    See link post #7. I make my first attempt with crude photo chop of your design. You and Rick for some reason thought I was referring to the same bottom radius that Robert suggested and Rick said it is not a jelly Bean lol. Several threads latter you realized what I was trying to suggest lol.

    I saw that car at the Portland Roadster show in 2007. Here's a pic of it then with the metalwork finished. Sure took them a long time to finish it.
