    Well, Thanks to everyone who replied.

    I seem to have a reputation here about changing cars!:rolleyes: :D

    The sunroof is done so well, that it looks like it's factory. I've actually heard older guys arguing over whether it a stock option or not!

    Plus, when it's closed, the roof ribs are still there. No glass roof.

    The 60 Olds is my bud Jeff. He's the one who had the wrecked green flaked 28 sedan. Here's a pic.

    Thanks Grumpy...

    that's a cool 60 too! I'd get rid of the painted bumpers if it were mine...one day I'll own another 60 Olds.

    Awesome ride. I love the '59s. Thanks to all for the education on Nomads too, I was wondering about the 4 doors too.

    No, I wouldn't trade my 59 for the Olds, even as cool as it is.

    He'd like to replace the bumpers...someday. I don't even think you can buy replacements..except maybe BumperBoyz.

    He'd be better off replating his. They are nice and straight.

    Grumpy,

    The car is looking bad ass, and now im fearing you're working to dethrone my car as the baddest wagon. You better keep on your side of the Mississippi... :)

    Damn.... i better get to work on some interior or something on mine, lol.

    Seriously though-- I like the look and the Supremes look nice. Looking sweet.

    Looks awesome man.

    You weren't down at McDonalds little show were you? I walked through real fast right when it started. I didn't see any of your cars and I was either too early or you weren't there. Sweet car though.

    Thanks Scott.
    I doubt I'll be de-throning your wagon. It's tits.
    I am, however, planning a killer interior in mine!:D I talked to the stitcher today. Planning for a late fall start. Gonna take all winter to pay for it:eek:

    And No, We wern't at the McDonald show. We were at a weekend show, and didn't get home til sunday evening.
     
  9. yes, it has, and yes it is...
    I liked the old wheels but flat out love the new ones.
    Nice selection.
    Any plans for the interior?

    It IS a Nomad, and chrisintx, if you REALLY knew what you were talking about, you'd know it. You're a good man for admitting you're a dumbass.

    The car's muybitching.....both ways, I have a '60 Brookwood, it doesn't hold a candle to the '60 IMHO.
     
  11. I like it....I like it alot.
     
  12. Looks really good with the Supremes. Shoulda bought it when I had the chance in Indy......
