To support my own belief, here is what i think to be one of the BADDEST 55 Nomads on the planet, spyed in the pits at the Winternationals. Anyway, no offense dude...

WOW !!! That is a stunning 55 nomad !!

I bolted the new wheels on the nomad, it was hard to take pics of it because I need a bigger garage.

Let me build you an air-ride set-up and you'll think you're riding in Grandma's Cadillac. Nearly all of the horror stories about air-ride suspensions are generated from guys who don't know a thing about chassis theory and do it all the wrong way. I go to shows all the time and I see so many hacked up air-ride jobs.

To each his own, though. I totally respect your opinion, as our hobby is not a one-size-fits-all. If it was, it would be completely boring. I just had to reply to your comment posted above.

Lookin' good! The best wheels for the Nomad IMO.

And a Scarab too? Holy cow!!!

I like the coys also..

The scarab is my wifes toy, I would really like to use the twin 502's out of it, in a couple of my cars.

SWEEEEET!
New wheels/tires look great. I love the 2 tone blues, you don't see that much!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-15-2011, 09:34 PM

I think it looks awesome! That air ride will be sweet on long trips for sure! I'm going to try to switch over to air ride on my 40 ford as well, to support the 1000lb engine if I decide to do it. Then I'll get all kinds of mad dudes just like you are here from one guy.

Sweet Nomad! Love the paint. The wheels are a great addition and I can't wait to see it bagged. Post a pic of the Elky with the old D's on it.
