Hey guy's. Been awhile since I posted.

I bought and sold a good chunk of cars since the last posted project on here and most recently sold my very nice 67' BB Chevelle Street/ strip/ show car. I sold the Chevelle to make a little room for the latest acquisitionS. I found a 48 000k miles 69 Camaro I never tought I could find. Its never been apart, 98% original (tires and 1 repaint like 15 yrs ago) and is gorgeos and sooooo clean inside like the outside, I have a hard time believing its really mine too... but that is a two sided blade car as all my friends tell me im a freak to wanna be slicing up that car!! I mean, I understand, but also its only a 327 2barrel /th350 car... but it has A/C and a few options....but it is all its everything. So they got me feeling guilty but I have not said my last word!!!

So, to ease my itch to build, I found a project I think is awesomely too cool and leaves A LOT of room for the imagination!!! It is a 1956 Chevy Nomad. The body is all there and id say very nice for its age (no patchwork done or needed except for window frames) it has everything and all moldings too, which come up fast when you start speaking dollar language....

But the most fun part of the whole thing is that it is sitting on a complete Nascar styled chassis. It has been made to the car and has a long story that I know as the car has always been local to me. It had been sold to a gentleman that bought it for its mechanicals and stuff and didn't want the body and frame (!!!!!!!!) so I was able to get it for a VERY interesting price that makes this project even more interesting! Sadly, during its stripping of the parts he wanted, the last owner saw it easier to just cut the whole suspension altogether to pull the motor/trans out (was SB2 and 5 speed) and so no front set up yet....On the + side it lets me decide what ever I want to put there. On the rear, it has a Truck Arm set up with the plates and adjustable coils a la Nascar, but im thinking Coil Overs and leave the rest as is. The frame is a a very serious build and was done in a professional shop (they said it had over 20k just in the frame, with everything in it of course!) But now it needs everything, I have the rear arms and Ubolts but no coils. All the moiunts are there and the floors are still in perfect shape. It has been moved often over the last few years with people taking what they wanted here and there but except for the front end being remove, its all there and waiting to be a killer street car!!!! Ill let the pics tell the thing and you let me know what you think!

I can surely picture this thing flashing off anything in the left lane at a buck sixty on the highway on a late Saturday night.... 305's in the front, 345's in the rear....434 smallblock and 4 speed w/a gearvendors, Wilwood binders and a Nascar inspired interior with some good use of dimple died plates here and there.... Colour? that's where im stumped right now...

Take a look. :-)



I'm trying this pic...I'll post some right after if this one shows up like I want it to, been awhile since I used my Photobucket.
