Take a photo Joe... and let us see if/how a reg wagon differs from the Nomad. On a Nomad, the liftgate hinges bolt into an inner panel which is inside the roof by an inch or so. I had trouble...

Doing anything oneself gives one a great deal of satisfaction which never comes from 'opening one's wallet'.... :)

Only knowing that your grandfather had a '56 Nomad in a specific color combo is no help in finding out it's VIN. Your best bet is to search your grandfather's registration/auto title records to...

Repops are NEVER as good as originals, and upper liftgate hinges are generally good in original condition, although I'm speaking in particular for Nomad liftgate hinges... I haven't dealt with reg...

We should adjourn TriFiveChevys some day soon, and talk Robert into a show and tell in his machine shop.... :)

Good response Rick. Have you used both those boxes? Which one are yuo using in your car?

Congratulations on the solution.. Show us some pix when you can.. :)

Good update Richard. Looking good... :)

I had a Dentist appt this morning; I thought about running over the mountain to your shop after, but it was lunchtime and I was hungry... :) My young...

Be careful RD... since he DID leave a spot on the wall!! :)

Beautiful animals, and I'm amazed at the variety of the horn shapes on them... causes me to wonder what causes the horns to be so different from one animal to another. Just tell RD that you were...

I'm sure the Cleveland body plant had LOTS of issues assembling Nomad bodies, and I bet that Harley Earl was cursed many times (for requiring the speedy design incorporation of the Nomad features...

I've always found it to be an advantage to upgrade with the 'Self Adjusting' Features for the original rear brakes! The kits are commonly available.

RD? What exactly do you expect to find in the Service/Assembly manuals to help you with your car? Hardly nothing about your car is 'factory stock'... ??? The 'Body Service' News or body manual...

Solid looking car with some faded paint.. appears you've already begun a little compounding? :) compound, polish, and wax and it'll look like new...

welcome to trifivechevys... and tell us about your car with photos.. and many of us would love to hear about your HS GTO as well.. :)

Outstanding work... :)

If you have dual antennas, I suppose you have dual REAR antennas (although I couldn't see them in the photos?).. Many people think 'dual rear' antennas look better (and that's why they use them -...

I personally prefer 'rubber' bushings, but if you're building a race car and want maximum performance with the expected regular maintenance and checking of parts, you might prefer polyurethane...? ...

I'm normally one who favors 'factory original' colors/materials, but the custom interior/paint used for resurrecting your '57 Convertible are outstanding! :) I also love the personalized 'tag'...

The OP may be needing a part from a TRUCK frame....?

you 'wet' the tape when installing to help it slide in, when it dries it 'locks' it in place. Some use 'windex' and others use 'oil' to wet the tape...

The last extras I had I gave away with some parts the guy bought...

Did you try the setting tape? Is the glass the correct thickness?
