    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 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.

    It flows well. Not a fan of the engine tooling relative to maintenance - pretty. I'd want a pair of center ducts too.

    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.......

    The '57 Nomad posted by lee was interesting to me mostly because of the chopped top... I'd always wondered how a chopped top Nomad would look.. .. and I have a 'Master' top chopper that lives near to me... but I'm glad I get to see that one and can forget about possibly chopping one of mine.. that one looks great but Nomad bodies are so FINE the way Chevy made them to begin with...

    The work quality on that chopped Nomad did appear to be extremely high end... beautiful...

    They say "Even with a basic concept in Ron’s head, it still took eight years for Aaron Atnip, Mark Spurlock, and their team to craft together this attention-grabbing, head-turning Tri-Five."

    If it was finished in 2016, that would mean they started on it in 2008. Clearly that's not true, since my pics were taken in 2007 and I'll bet they had a two or more years of work in it already. I'd say it's been in the works for something like 11 or 12 years....that doesn't make me feel so bad.

    Here's some build pics:
