Wow, that's some serious fabrication. Keep posting pics of your progress.

What kind of metal-shaping tools are you using?

here is what the tailgate turned out, no latch it opens off a remote control tommy 1 pieced the tailgate and still used the nomad pot metal upper, the nomad emblem was removed and had the same spot waterjetted and installed a 3rd brake light in its place pretty cool huh? the engine compartment has some serious sheetmetal fabrication, brake and clutch assembly has been relocated under the driver floorboard

here is some of the custom chrome we had made kinda different but still in the spirit of the nomad. here is the motor going in it its a solid roller 383, dart pro 1 heads with a heavily modified tri-power carb set up it took alot of jetting and port work to get this set up to work properly it is a summit intake system but dont think its a bolt on and go unless you have it dynoed to your engine you are probably better off with a single four barrell. they removed 2 lbs of aluminum to correct the deck and all the port work done to this. pain in the butt, but its cool.
