    finally gettin' around to straightening out the top on my car.I pulled the windshield and headliner out this weekend,so no turning back now.hopefully,I'll have it done and painted in the not so distant future.
    I got one of my buddies,Gus,handling the bodywork.We'll see what happens when it comes time to paint.

    Hope it turns out. When my dad bought his Nomad, some goobers had taken the body off of the frame by running a chain through the p***enger widows. Boinked the whole roof. But it looks good now. Looks like yours is gonna fix. Good luck

    Looks like acupuncture to me! Not many cars look better than a Nomad. Maybe as good, but not better!

    Hey,
    I give, why, in a vehicle with no windshield and no head liner would
    a guy use a stud welder to straighten a roof panel? Not sayin' it's
    wrong, jus' weird! Doesn't he own a hammer, dolly and finishing
    s****?

    Nomads rule! Put the windshield somewhere else before Mr. Murphy comes by.

    Nomads are just the coolest wagons ever. And the '55 is the best of them all. Not even debatable. :cool:
