Thanks everyone that responded. I'm surprised that more of you guys don't care for the real old style "Hot Rod".
Marc...Come get the Nomad!

Love the early Hemi also tastefully done top cut!.
Are you running a hood also what's the interior or plans include?.
Probably cheaper for custom stuff now but back in my boneyard days all the 60's T-Bird seats we had went into these Ford 2Dr. Sedans and Vickys as their wrap-around rear seats were a cool fit..

I figured out how to get this far posting pictures, but haven't figured out how to put up just pictures, not a link.
Anyway, there are a few pictures at this link.

Again...I am sorry! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif
Here are some pics of the car done. I just realized there were none of the finished project. Been having a blast with it. Won some pretty neat awards with it too.

Charley, I'd give my left nut to be able to take that picture. One year ago, almost to the day, she didn't want her breakfast. We took her to the vet to see if something was wrong. At 4 that afternoon, she died in my arms. Had a tumor on her spleen that broke. She bled to death on the inside. Absolutely nothing they could do for her. She did get some rides in the car though!

Very sorry to hear that Tony. Only dog people can really understand the pain of losing one of our 'kids'. To some who have never had human babies, these are in fact their babies and is much like losing one of their own.

Damn, sorry to hear that. The years of enjoyment far outweigh the time you are miserable afterwards though.
