In all honesty though, the only appeal to a Nomad to me is the value, and collectible standpoint, I think the 2-door hardtops and posts look way nicer... that being said I would be lying if I said I never sat down and tried to figure out how I could afford a Nomad, I also would love a Safari. Any more pics of your 55'? |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Me too, but the problem is that now I have it, it's killing me not having it all over the truck yet.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Man that's like asking a proud parent if they have pics of their baby.lol I love my car even though I will be making lots of changes to it in the future. The 55 or 56 Chevy my 2nd favorite dream car (my first 37-40 Ford coupe sorry chevy guys) and I was just lucky enough to be in a position to get one. The prices are ridiculous, I wanted a sports coupe but I would not change it for anything now I glad I bought a sedan. Well I still will take a nomad in a heartbeat especially a 56. Plans for the future will have to wait until I finish the truck. I'm just collecting ideas right now.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
37-40 ford huh?? My favorite car of all time is a ford as well, a 28-32 Model A sedan (im in negotiations on a 28 now...) and i also love the 53-56 trucks but not near as much as the tri-five trucks. If im in the mid-late 30's give me a Chevy Opera Coupe!
Thanks Google for the pic! ![]() |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
37-40's are that expensive? I wouldn't have though they would be more than a 2-door tri-five? In fix-er-upper condition that is...

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Way more expensive. I saw one covered in surface rust with a MII suspension, no engine or trans but all the cool mods done chopped top, welded rear fenders but the car needed another 20 grand easy (because with a street rod you have to come with it buddy.lol). The guy wanted 18 grand and people were all around it trying to talk him down a couple of grand.lol It would have been hard to tell my wife that if I bought the car for 15 and put another 20 in it that I would have a 60 thousand dollar car for 35 thousand. Believe it or not but some woman really can't comprehend that.lol My wife would have said are you nuts.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Man I'm sorry but I really have not been working on the truck lately. I have way too many irons in the fire. I've been working but just not on my truck. I will be soon because working on other people cars is getting me motivated again.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Oh you have no idea who I am do you.lol There are a lot of things I don't like that need to be done, but it will have to wait until after the truck is done. I talking new IFS and rear suspension, closing the gas filler and installing a 56 tail light gas filler, I may even take the 454 out and put in a LS engine. I'm going to go all out on it, but first the truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Yeah the money is in the coupes I don't want the sedan. I'm sure the fact that a lot of the mods were done affected the price but still it was not worth the 18 grand maybe 8 grand.lol But times were good then and now it's a recession, so I sure the price has drop a lot now but then again so has our job security.lol But the coupe is the one.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe,
As much as I LOVE the tri5+2 trucks I am a fool for a '40 Ford truck. I liked my '46 Chevy very much but it just didn't have the umph a '40 Ford give me. Yeah, I know that's heresy on a Chevy forum and I am a Chevy guy through and through. There are VERY few Fords I like but the '40's; both cars and trucks are in that group. Besides my Dad's (if I could ever find it) balck over red/orange and off white '55 Chevy two door hardtop Belair, my Lotto cars would be my '55 big window done over-the-top gorgeous, a mildly built flathead powered '40 Ford pickup with steelies, rings and caps, and a Papaya yellow hi boy with blown flathead on Halibrands. Dreams, all dreams..... |
