The exterior looks very clean, and timeless. Better bring your nicest, cleanest car show t shirts and jeans down for when you pose next to it!

Wheels and tires were stolen fair and square.... And thank you!! Not going for anything at GNRS -- it's just on display in Roy's booth along with 8 others he's bringing down.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH......... we have to keep this POS under wraps for another SIX FRIGGIN' MONTHS!!! OMG.....

I was sure that Brizio or one of the other guys was going to spill the beans this last summer at Victoria Deuce Days... but by gawd we made it thru that weekend.... Now I'm starting to get nervous - once it's out in "public".

No --- It's just now being finished up Eric --- I won't get to drive it until June. It's ready to drive now - but I won't have time because it's going straight from Brizio's shop to the show...

Well --- The project actually started June 14th, 2012... and I cut Brizio a check a week later when we made it to San Francisco from LA via Hiway One... So a little longer in reality. But not bad!!! Not bad at all!

At least the time was stress free and very exciting, and enjoyable for us to watch.

So many builds aren't as we know, and I think Greg communicating how it should be/can be is illuminating. :)

Thanks buddy! The Nomad was a very fun car to have owned all these years. It was first on the road in 1997/98. So some of it was dated -- not hugely out of date but dated. I had that car apart so many times I can't even remember 'em all... But I do know -- the chassis change was the biggest IMPROVEMENT... Then I saw The Mule at Sacramento --- and the big inch small block with 8 stacks was just burned in my mind and I had to do that... Then a different motor --- and another --- and another...The last one being the best motor I've ever owned/had built. It was just the right combination. Big torque at low RPMS and it was just right for that heavy car.

I'll miss her -- but it's like getting new clothes -- even though you still like the old clothes -- you seem to keep putting on the newest ones given the choice. That's the way cars are too.... I drive the newer ones - and the poor old girl was left wanting.

The key to that was to go with a builder that you absolutely KNOW can do the build you want. You have to be willing to pay for that.... but in the end -- I think it's less expensive and more productive.

There are people that can build "customs" -- there are people that can build "show cars" -- there are people that do Camaros really well be it stock resto or pro touring.... The top of the heap don't come cheap. But you get what you pay for and then some. I made a mistake not going with my gut on the '32... and I paid a price for that. I will never make that mistake again.

I love sharing with my friends... which means sharing with Lat G. Sometimes I think I share too much. But I also think that sometimes it might help someone else along the way. We can't learn anything by sitting in a corner... I learn from others here daily...

Well --- it's a phone pic... but I still like it!!

We have plans to do a full on photo shoot.... and there's a magazine scheduled but I had to stall that because I can't spill the beans until Gwen takes possession in June.

waynieZ 01-20-2014 09:59 PM

I love that shot from the front that Tony reposted.
