Customs update on russ meeks sectioned nomad

finally got the body back off the frame to have it powder coated, just a few things me and lonnie gilbertson have to finish welding and off the frame goes to get it done. motor and trans ready for install,. got body ready to be blocked and get ready for paint, bought a real nice body dolly from a guy so it will be nice to be able to turn car around in garage as i wet sand my fingers off. here are a few pic's.

Hey,

I've always liked this car and one day hope to see it in person!

Can I ask a dump question? How does one repair damage to a powder coated finish? If you scratch it, or it requires welding to be done or frame repair?

Al my experience with production painting has lead me to beleve it can only be refinished by complete removal and replacement.

Thanx,

hope to have it done by the portland show im on a role now, as far as powder coating no way to repair that i know of but the stuff is hard as nails. thats what taken me so long to get the body off the frame, i had to put the car together as if to drive and then pull it down so i knew every thing was done. hey meatball still no words from the other side, been very quite. thanks for all support guys ill keep pictures coming

 

just wanted to drop by and shows some pictures of the progress. almost ready to sit the body back down on the ch***is. just gotta get rear spring back and pick up my exhaust from being coated, install them and its just about time for the body. may fire motor before i install the body. thanks for looking rod

That is rad. this car is so cool. cant wait to see the body on.

 

Please keep us updated on the progress. I can't wait to see it completed. It will be interesting to see if it makes the same impression on me that it did when it was finished the first time.

Nice to see it coming along so well. Now to keep the true Meek's style. You should come buy my 427 Ford motor to install right after your first winning show season.

i sure would have liked to seen it when it had the big gun ford in it.!!!! i talked to mike thelin and he said he was at wescotts one day and russ had him drive it down the street so he could get some pictures of it driving. mike said it was a blast. good to hear from ya wizzard thanks rod

 

Superb!

Nicer than it ever was........................Lookin better than ever

im hoping to make it, ive got so much help from so many people i would like to say thanks to wife, my father, brother, robbie davis, dave lentz, chip starr, lonnie gilbertson, marty strode, uncle larry palmer, cl*** act powder coating, oregon plating this list goes on and on thanks for all of your help. keeping my fingers crossed to make it.

 

love this car,,,glad its still around and in competent hands..

 

That is a beutiful nomad. Love the ch***is, cant wait to see it completed.
By the way, what is that front seat out of?

 

when russ did it he used 66-67 riviera split bench seats front and rear. they fit the car so well and are really comfortable. even with the car sectioned 4 inches you can set in it and it does feel like its sectioned. thanks rod

 

well got the frame on all four wheels finally! got the wheels all polished and re-powder coated, they did a super job. all thats left to do is plumb the fuel line and put the tank sender in. this weekend the body is going back into the body jig so i can flip it and finish up the bottom side. hope to have the body back on the frame by the end of the month. here is some more pictures.

 

damn nice work...........keep it up cant wait to see it on the street
