FINISHED: '55 Chevy Nomad

Hi guys,

Finished my AMT-55 Nomad today. One of my favorites.
A lot of mouldinglines had to be removed, but that's something I like. I Like it when I see the progress to get a clean car. After all, it fitted well.

Lowered the car, wheels came from a (snapfast) Revell Dodge Copperhead. Putted some mesh in the grill. Frontseats came from a Hasegawa Subaru Impreza. Doors and trunk are shaved. Almost all chrome on the outside has been removed. Painted Semi gloss black & Candy Lime green.

Here are the pic's:

Hope you like them.

cool custom!
great choice on colour-combo and rims!

Sweet custom Nomad.
The wheels and stance are great!
The color scheme works nicely too.
Great job! :bigthumb:

Very cool! Everytime I see a completed Nomad, makes me want to start mine.

Sweet! I need a Nomad.

I love it nice stance, nice color choice

color looks good, nice work

Awsome work! Love the raked stance! :)

I like the non-chrome look with the colour coded bumpers.......gives it a nice tough look.

Damn you! You have a front bumper! I had to put a `56 bumper with spears on my `55 210, It would be coll if I had spears for the back bumper but oh well.
Looks very mean anyway and it looks straight out of Boyd Coddingtons garage, very good!

Good looking Nomad, I like the old chevy's, nice color keying on the interior too. :bigthumb:

Very nice Nomad!!! :loser: :smokin:

Love the monochromatic look. The custom grille, the cleaned up bumpers, a sleek style I've missed since Pro Street went out of fashion. :biggrin:

Only thing I'd change about this model is the engine. Looks like a stock 2 barrel carbed 265ci in there. Needs LT1 power. :wink:

It is the stock engine. Didn't like the optional Drag-engine that came with it. And since I had o engine in my part-box I used the stock one. Works for me.


Thx for the comments everyone!!
(sorry forthe blurry pic's, I'm using a webcam :sorry: )

nice paint and color combo... the interior looks very good.

That thing looks mean! Sweet build.

JeFF

Pretty damn cool. Now all you need is a shirt with the hotrod flames on the pocket.

Very nice! :sunglasse

I have to admit, I hestitate sometimes opening a thread where I think a particular model will disappoint me because it's a subject that just doesn't do anything for me, or I'm conditioned to think it will be customized in a way that I dislike.

What a pleasant surprise! How refreshing to see this one done as a thoroughly modern, well-executed take on an old subject. The colors are striking, the stance is dead-on, the customizing is tasteful and not overstated. :)

veny nice

That remember me when I was playing Motor City Online, my first car was a Nomad (450hp, 750torque, NOS) damn that was fun :D

Pretty damn cool. Now all you need is a shirt with the hotrod flames on the pocket.

Already got one!! :naughty:

Didn't expected some much comments!! :jump3:

Thanks again guys!!

The '55 is great!! Awesome build!! Keep it up!!!

I love this style of cool american cars!

The colour is somewhat risky, but works wonderly well!

Keep those sweet builds coming this way.
