Finished this old girl up last week for a friend. Neither of us had any idea what I was gonna do for a while but I remembered him talking fondly of his first car...a 1957 Chevy. It's the original Tropical Turquoise but I used a pearl from a late model GM and silver for the striping. Check out the little Bel Air fender louvers. Lol!
Disregard the tape around the barrel. It wasn't glued in yet, when I took these pics.

Yeah buddy. That’s the ticket.

Sweet! What action is that?

 

[Bc'z]

Now that's badass!!
I appreciate the painstaking detail and work down to the fender jewelry.

I think you have a shot at your own show on History channel.

That's a 1983 Stolle Panda..Vintage all the way! It had been upgraded to the TG ejector and a rh ejection port added at some point in its life.

I bet that maybe half of the Forum members don't know what a Chevy Nomad is... until they Google for it.

Funny in a sad sort of way.

I thought I had a double nutted GTO until the day we met a Nomad with a talented mechanic!

That's how it could happen, and in southern California during the days of racing for 'pinks', you better be ready for the unexpected, including walking home. Back to the topic, the colors on that rifle are like a time machine, and thanks for the trip down memory lane!

 

[Bill Norris]

Nice work no doubt.

 

[GotRDid]
