Kevin, I know this is super old, but is there a build thread for this somewhere? I have a few questions as I’m now building my 53.

Very informative video for those who haven't done that. Hey I finally got some glass for my doors! A friend got all new glass for His 55 and he gave me his old ones. Now I gotta pull out the homemade lexan and have real glass. 😊

Good luck on your project. Pace yourself. When you get tired, take a brake and don't rush to the finish line. Takes just a little more time to do it right. I have a 48 chevy 3100 in my shop and it's worth every careful step.

Is the car done? Driven it yet? I have some repairs/modifications still to do on my ‘55 but trying to decide what to do about front suspension. Like you I was thinking rebuilt stock lower arms and maybe Global West tubular uppers. They never got installed but my came with new 2” drop spindles and disc/power brake conversion. I want a little lower but not down in the weeds.

I just acquired a 1955 Nomad “project”. I think the guy who did this quarter panel work on your car did the lower front quarters (both sides) on mine. They cut patches from some junkyard car and welded (if you can call it that) them in. It’s all going to have to come out.
