I just saw this little short video with a good trick for how to retain the ends of tie down straps that are many feet longer than needed... I mostly worry this when I'm assisting a friends in...

corvette dealers sell similar ones (not exactly the same size, but otherwise the same) for use on early (C1) Corvettes...

Or.. cut some pieces from a tire carcass... OR just clean the ones you...

It's to prevent the body from rubbing on the frame in the rear 'kickup' area... call it an 'anti squeak' strip?

Good luck Laszlo! :)

I am looking forward to seeing it all one color, after all your metal work!! :)

Troy,

Have you made all the mods you plan to your frame before having it powder coated? Including trial/test fitting any modified parts? you should definitely do that as it *sucks* when you...

That's going to be a beauty once it's all in one color.. even if it's just primer.. :)

I lost my computer and it took me a few days to get one going again, so I just read Richard's latest updates! Great Going Richard!
I really really love the backup light modification in the bumper!...

An image from page 6-89 of my Service Manual. This chart shows the intake/exhaust lifts being the same for all the 283 ci V8 models, but doesn't provide the duration or any other cam specs.

I'll be there in my green/ivory '56 Nomad... :)

Wow Brian.... you're moving quickly onto the 'big boy metal working' ranks.... My compliments!

It's looking better and better Brian! :)

We'll be in the WEST region next year, in Boise Idaho... plan to make it.. :)

I like the peep mirrors... and we ALL need a right hand mirror if we EVER back up.. :)

I call a totally bare frame ... just a stripped FRAME...

With axles and suspension parts attached... that makes it a CHASSIS...

Let's do some leading... :)

Very nice work Robert! Appears the 'catty' inspector approves also! :)

Many Nomaders from around the country are leaving today, headed to Huntsville... some farther away may even have left yesterday! One of the great things about the annual Nomad Convention is that...

Brian, with that new tool at your disposal your outstanding work of the past will be even better! :)

you're right Lazslo, their floors get good press from essentially everyone.. but body panels all need work to fit and look right; some of them considerable work.

PS. When I did my '57 Nomad 35...

Sid? Don't you have a '55 Nomad? Why not write to them as the Owner/Administrator/TechAdvisor for this website/forum, and request they send you a pair for *Evaluation*? Then you could tell us...

You're doing fantastic Brian... much better than some who DO call themselves metal masters.. :)

Even if your Nomad isn't finished, Dom, YOU (and perhaps your restorer) should register and come to Huntsville for the Convention (16-21 July 2023) at the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center Marriott....

Dom,

Are you bringing your Nomad to Huntsville next month for the Nomad Convention??
