Great to see you are making a start, one step at a time and you will get there, very cool car, good luck with your project.
Thank you for introducing us.... pleased to meet you "Patsie" I can see her done up as per my imagination. What is your vision 1956 Pinup? What color (inside and out)? What motor? Nomads are very cool!!! Thanks for sharing... and keep us up to speed, please.
Wow, that is a project, a major project. I see dollar signs but the end product can be very nice. Here's a photo of one for inspiration.
Cool - maybe post a Wanted Ad here asking for trim pieces that are not dinged up, can be real tricky to straighten them.
Black inside so the kids don't get it dirty and two tone green on the outside.. I'm thinking 1958 bonneville burma and calypso... I'm still deciding on the motor as to what will work best for me.. I want quiet, a little speed, reliable and be able to handle a/c.. in texas lol
Your wagon would look good done up like the 1958 Pontiac at AMBR this year. That car was my favorite of all the cars there. Of course i only saw the pictures.
Actually... I wouldn't of thought of that, but burma/calypso would be perfect for that car ps...do I understand you... hammered vinyl upholstery?
Ohhhhhhh... I'm old school (and old) to the point that hammered is a finish in metal or vinyl I drop somethin' by bending, cutting, channeling, or Z kicks to a frame Honestly, I have never bagged anything (that is in the car world)
there's 58 wagon up hwy 287 past Decatur in Sunset,Tx.....if y'all are going to the swap meet next month maybe plan to go on up there....have the guy's #.....
Very cool project! I've got a '59 Ford wagon reserved for the same purpose someday. I really dig the '58 Nomad, you just don't see many of them. Good luck!
