The Vintage Air heater/air conditioning unit is installed under the dash, plumbed and wired. The heat and air hoses were routed through the firewall, using a fabricated aluminum clam shell, between...

The electrical panel is installed and all wires connected. There are a few wires to connect in the interior, then a little time to check things out and ensure it all works. At that point, we're...

The interior is really going to pop! It'll look great

Yes, I'll be re-sequencing my project list and the Nomad is second in line after the 69 Camaro.

Yes, they are both buildable vehicles with VIN plates and titles. I probably have enough projects to keep me busy for some years, but I really like the 55 looks and the deal was too good to turn down.

I don't guess I have enough projects, because I recently purchased a couple more. Gary (BamaNomad) and I picked up two roller 55 Nomad bodies and a boat-load of Nomad parts in Atlanta. The parts...

Been working a few things on the Corvette lately. The electrical panel is wired and about done with checks on it. Next is to mount it in the spare tire well and connect up the harnesses. After...

Looking good, Brian. For an idea on running board rubber, here's one we used on the 49 F-1 pickup we built some years back. They are aluminum strips with rubber inserts. They have held up well over...

Looks nice, you're really getting proficient at metal working, Brian. Thanks for sharing!

Nice job, Paul!

Come on down to Huntsville. I have a 56 with an LS3/525 hp, and am finishing up a 59 Corvette with a gen v LT1/490hp. Drop me a line at richardbarnes256@comcast.net and let me know your plans.

Welcome Mike. There are a lot of opinions on carbed or injected motors, and I’m sure you will get a number of replies.

My opinion is it depends on what is important to you, there are pros and...

Took some time off, Paul. Just returned from a 2 week trip thru the Caribbean. It reached 4 degrees in Huntsville just before we left, and I’d had enough! The cold weather gets to me.

Concerning...

Lookin good, Paul. Looks like a lot of flower pots. You’re going to be busy!

It's been a while since I updated progress. I have started working on the wiring. I mount most of the electrical components together on a plate. I prefer this approach, rather than mounting them...

You’ve had more than your share of problems, Laszlo! Sounds like you’re getting close.

Holley makes a pan that clears and doesn’t go below the crossmember. I used it on the LS3/525 in my 56, with an Art Morrison chassis.

Nice looking 55. What rear end are you putting in it behind the 700R4?

Thanks Brian, I like to help battery cable penetrations anchored pretty solidly and the blocks work well.

Decided to hold off on mounting the evaporator unit under the dash until the majority of wires are run. There isn't a lot of room, and there's no pressing need to mount the evaporator unit now. ...

Thanks Brian. Went to the paint store today with a sample of the interior leather for them to match. Turns out, that’s not the easiest thing to do. The cameras/computers apparently work best with...

Thanks Gary. Just a couple more items before wiring.

Thanks Paul. I’ll keep at it, and it all will eventually get done.

Lately, been working off some of the many details needed to finish the Corvette. Concerning the body, all external stainless and chrome are on, with the exception of the grill bar and teeth. These...

Am I missing something here concerning pedal travel? Why not use a pedal stop rather than change ratio (the location of the push rod). The Wilwood and hydroboost systems I’ve used say to limit rod...
