Looks great Dundee! Those wheels look sweet on it. On a different note, that is a realistic looking dumpster by the lift.

Dumpster came from a vendor in the Model Car Racing magazine.

Cardboard, wasn't expensive at all. That same vendor makes the Porta Johns in my Reader Road post.

Dundee Law enforcement officials check out the next car of the Boyz they will end up pulling over before long.

attaching the push bar, got the custom grille in, and headlights in place!

it's one of those etched metal 1/24 grille's in this case for a F150 that I "sized down", it was like $4.99 at a car show.

been buying these and Parks Part air cleaners too for future builds all 1/24 size, just have to be careful to buy the smallest sizes.

Looking good! I like the grill too!

A friend told me the wheelbase is the same as the '55 Chevy...so, the '55 Nomad will fit on the same adjustable Slot.it chassis I use for my '55 Chevy interchangeably.

Love the Nomads!

Boyz had the Nomad's maiden voyage to the Dundee junkyard today!!

Besides Harry's recommended cooler, there for the Coor's, white top as requested, a leaf spring, rear axle, rear tire and generator in back from the junkyard!!

Full load for the first trip indeed!!

Plus they got to the junkyard and back "really fast too"!

This Nomad flies!!!

The pressure is on you Ember to show us the next Nomad that you have ready to build in the wings!!

This one was tough with no window, grille, interior, accessories, as a starting point. But fun watching it cruise the Dundee Speedway road course!!
