Yes it is, but took some tinkering!!

Had to lengthen the wheel base and had to narrow the front considerably and take a couple washer widths out of the rear and move the pinion gear towards the motor.

Overall not bad, and with the Scalley's NASCARS going for $29.99 or less, a great donor option!!!

Ember, not sure if the Boyz visual of "tasty" is the same as yours, but that being said they agree and are grinning about how the two colors look together too!!

always on the look out for 1/24 "baby moons".

Many times they can be used as "full caps on our 1/32's

They really set the Nomad off!!

Boyz only have to add the most important piece now, the sponsorship decals to the car for the beer company who will use the Nomad as a rolling billboard at Dundee Speedway.

That looks perfect just as it is. I don't want to see it's looks hidden beneath beer ads. Is there anything that I can do to save it from that fate??
