Hot Rods Project Blowmad - A Build Thread (1956 Nomad) --update-- running an driving as of 6-28

Don't you just love driving a blown car? The view! The sound! Enjoy.

 

Exactly how a nomad should be, love it!!!

 

Will you and the car be at TMP this weekend? I am coming up from California....

 

I will be there, not sure about the car. They're calling for sporadic rain and I don't have certain luxuries yet like wipers or windows that roll up, so most likely not.

Fantastic work on the Blowmad Jake. I've been watching the forecast, Friday looking damp in the afternoon and not drying up until noon or so Saturday.

 

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Lots of driving and fine tuning. I've put another 700 miles on it in the last month. It will p*** anything but a gas station, I'm averaging right about 8 miles to the gallon now. Kind of comical but of course I didn't put it together for fuel mileage. Easily the most fun all-around car I've ever owned. We'll see how she does in the rain.

Perfect!

Very cool...good call on the replacement scoop - that B&M one screams 80s/90s...

 

Still driving and refining but mostly just enjoying. Last month I used it to help a friend move. Still needs the interior completed and some wiring but we're getting there!

Coolest moving van I have seen in a while!

 

Looks great Jake!
