Neighbor's 56 Nomad
Hello all,
I have been lurking around this site for some time now, and since I don't currently have a project of my own right now, I thought I would share my neighbor's Nomad that I have been helping him with.
He bought the car about 5 or so years ago and had a pretty decent restoration on it so far. It had the ZZ4, Turbo 350, recent paint and interior, but needed a little more go juice so he had a local engine builder assembled a mild 468 and turbo 400.
The goody list:
468 BBC
Turbo 400
Vintage Air Gen4 system
Front Runner
605 gear box
CPP Front Disk conversion
CPP tubular upper/lowers
QA1's
Stainless brake lines
new fuel tank and sending unit
raingear wiper system
AAW Classic update kit
Ididit column
recently rebuilt GM 8.2 with auburn unit, 3.73, Toms axles and aerospace rear disc kit, (he got this rearend for $4oo from a friend) Crazy deals!
ETC!
So far, I have welded up 27 holes and blocked out the fire wall and smoothed most of the frame. The "Garage Painted," fire wall came out pretty good, so now we can stuff the drive gear in and start assembling the goody's.
