1955 Nomad Time! Taking a short break from the 1955 Belair Convertible

[@hubiesgarage]

Another great update Don! Good to see the '55 will be getting some attention and repairs. It's always fun to drive them and help to keep you motivated! It's really nice of you to give the shout out to Randy! I kept a lot of my early memorabilia too, it's all stuff that kept us connected to the hobby! Keep up the great work Don!

Thank you Don for the mention in your video! It also led to quite a few more subscribers and I appreciate that! When Dan‘s hot rod garage says you have an epic Barn find with a Nomad, you know it’s real! Thanks again, looking forward to your next video.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Mark. Yeah man I've spent my entire life in a hurry. When I go out to the garage that's my time so I work at my pace. Later Buddy

[@BillBynum-n9y]

So far so good Don! I had the hood on my 57 Nomad louvered and I love the way it looks! At car shows I get negative feedback but I don’t care cause it’s mine and love it! All your cars are cool the way they are! Good taste! Thank you!

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Yes indeed agree. I like the old school look on these cars. I think the louvered hood will look great. I'll give it a try and see. Later Buddy

[@DesertRatFabrication]

Hey Big D, it’s great you took the 56 for a drive, it’s a turn key driver, the louvered hood would be nice to see what it looks like on the 55, but I can’t imagine it looking any better than the stock one, but you never know, good video, have a fantastic Thanksgiving and catch you soon 😀😀

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Mike! I'm not real sure how the hood will look on the ragtop. The main reason i like the old cars is because my pops and how i remember them looking when I was a kid. The old-school look is something you don't see much anymore in a "LS" world. Happy Thanksgiving Buddy

[@DesertRatFabrication]

You are right there👍

[@greggonzalez7396]

What a dilema. To many Tri Fives and which on to work on first. You always seem to have a plan that gets things done. I like your videos and and your a easy guy to listen to.

[@paulelarson1912]

[@DougScriver]

Just going to work on the 55 hardtop for the winter take care

[@GlennBalent-nq7rh]

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

What's the rush. Later 👍

[@michaelkehm3663]

Appreciate you Big Don and your Nomads and that cool 55 convertible. I could only wish I had one or two of those machines from the era I grew up in. Take care pal.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Thanks Buddy, I appreciate that!

[@bigjobford1956]

Good video Don,,,you know I can’t wait to see you driving around with the convertible one day soon,to you have any goal on to what point you’re heading with it,or haven’t you really decided to what extent you’re going to take it to yet?paint possibly ect.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Big Job Ford. Yes in the end I want the convertible to be solid black with black top and red interior. Later Buddy

[@kevinl.2291]

Looking Good Bud , Seems like u got a good plan for this oh winter time 👍✌️.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Lonnie. Yes I'm staying busy

[@RMcDuffee55]

Don are those Nomad eyebrows on the Convertible? Where is the 57 Nomad? Love your cars, man.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

@RMcDuffee55 Hey Man. Them are 55 Chevy eyebrows sold through J.C Whitney's in the 50s. There almost impossible to find anymore. The 57 Nomad went back home to my brother. I got it from him and he wanted it back. Talk to you later 👍

[@alkennedy1124]

Freedom card add, and Etsy adds, in your intro, lol BigAl California t thanks

[@lonniekiser3612]

Hey Don if you get a chance u might want to check out (keep it simple garage) he built a bunch of different cars, But he's done a lot of 69 Camaros, Heck people call him if they got one for him to look at.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Lonnie. I've watched his videos and he finds some really cool Camaros

[@vonsmink1]

Cheers frum New Hampsha !

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Thanks Buddy

[@bigblockkings1031]

A little here and a little there is good Don 👍 Hey I saw a guy on KZbin building a 57 "Nomad" out of a 4 door hardtop and bits and pieces from a rotted out Nomad. My thoughts were that you would Not approve. I saw it after watching your video on how to identify a real 55 convertible.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Hey Gorni. Yes I've seen Ellis Kustoms. I don't mind what he's doing and he does great work. I just don't like seeing cars sold for big money that are not what there are sold as. You know knowledge is power man. Gotta know what your looking at when your buying a old car. Have a good one Buddy 👍
