Back for more Nomad mayhem!Project NO-MAD Part 48

[@gregpomeroy2149]

I have gone back and watched all videos from beginning of this build . Hopefully you are better after being hit by the mile long freight train 😮 The tailgate videos are nothing short of amazing

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks for binge watching Greg! I am doing better now thank you!

[@junksautomotive]

Good move on the shock delete! My gas situation is exactly the same! I always go bigger in gauge if i can. Never a bad idea either. Cheers Doug!

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks Mike and Cheers to you!

[@waynebernier1061]

Glad to see you’re supporting the welding gas companies…..I heard they’re struggling!! 😂😂 Body work is tedious for sure, definitely like watching paint dry. T-shirt looks good, I’m sure lots of us will want one…….maybe more. 👍🇨🇦

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

LOL,thanks Wayne!Believe it or not,I am running out of things to weld.I'll let everyone know about the shirts if I pull the trigger.

[@clasicradiolover]

Doug, I'll need 4x t-shirt when you get them going. I'm not going to surf the interwebs. I was about to go to sleep when I spotted your video and stayed up to watch. I'm glad I did. Good show.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks my friend! I'll let you know if we do the shirts.

[@Opigoink]

Car looks just fine coming along Doug at your pace. Keep up the good work.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Cool David! What do you play?

[@DavidMueller-kp7sy]

@@EllisKarKustoms-v9j I'm a keyboard guy. You appear to be a laid back guy, so I would guess you play bass.

Doing a good job

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thank you Willie!

[@russellstambaugh4528]

Looks better every week Doug. I’ve always had the idea that once the main body was in shape the rest is bolt on. It’s true but kept me going on a few projects. Something else it seems we have in common. I played bars and clubs all across the USA for 25 years. I’ve been a singer all my life. My health sat me on my ass in 2008 but I still sing in the shower lol keep up the good work. I look forward to every video.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks Russell!I've been playing since the 70's myself.I've kinda slowed down and semi retired when Covid hit.

[@bobblangland9031]

Shirt looks good, Doug. Maybe? make the car on the shirt the same color you’re going to paint the car.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks Bob! I would except I haven't decided on a color...

[@DPaint-v5j]

You out there doing it. More power to you. Going to be a fun car when done. Maybe needs some lacework on the roof. Good luck. 👍👍✌️🇬🇧

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thank you,I'll take all the power I can get!

[@marioa1272]

Looks great Doug, I like the shirt 🏁

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

P.S.---Love the shirt design too!!!!

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks!

[@johnbergen9663]

Hey Doug, thanks for explaining your rustproofing procedure. How about for the in/backsides of these panels?

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

The same process except instead of primer and paint I do rubberized or bed liner.The back side of Tri Five panels are easy to get to.

[@johnk3930]

👍👍👍👍

[@r.n.6515]

Liking the shirt, not so much working with bondo lol.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks! Bondo is a necessary evil unfortunately...

[@redwinstead7873]

Wat band you play in ❤❤❤❤❤

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

The band I'm jamming with is newly formed.We haven't finalized a name yet.

[@zacharymunroe270]

Looking good Doug.. whats your instrument of choice

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Bass at the moment Zachary.

[@zacharymunroe270]

@EllisKarKustoms-v9j awesome Doug... my dad was a bass player in a band called the lop side blues band back in the 70's and early 80's , then in a band called the HOMEGROWN band, he has been gone now since 21 years miss him dearly, he'd would of loved to watch your channel as his favorite car is the same as so many others , a 57 Chevy.. I still have his bass guitar's one is a fender mustang bass the sunburst color I believe and the other is a fender musicmaster , when I was young he had to sell the musicmaster then sometime later on down the road my ma found it and bought it back for him.. I used to just love to watch him play, iam getting the goosebumps thinking about , he was paralyzed at the age of 19 , he was I'm a wheelchair my whole life , never knew him any other way but in the wheelchair..the paint is all wore of on the bottom side of the mustang bass from it constantly sliding down his leg since that was his favorite , they played the kind of music that always had the dance floor full of people young and older, but one of my fondest memories is he cohersed the band to play one of my favorite songs wich I didn't know about until they let it rip one knight, it also a good dance tune.. it's by dicky Betts and great southern, and it's good time feeling, and it normally gives you the good time feeling and gets your feet a moving.. that's for being you Doug, and replying oh and I think your shirt is pretty cool too

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks! Great memories about your Dad.My Dad's been gone for 32 years now.We worked on cars together.I learned a lot of what I know from him...

[@zacharymunroe270]

@EllisKarKustoms-v9j hey Doug I bet he's proud of you and your work. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I appreciate you and your content very much, I'd love to buy one of your shirts but I don't know how to go about getting you paid fir one and all that jazz, iam not set up for all the stuff, buy iam defenality along with you on your journey..keep up the good work, and you should price carbon dioxide just for shits and giggles might be a few extra dollars you can save on the coast of gas to put into your shirts.. from the east coast.. rock on Doug

[@jct300m]

What do you do with the inside of the weld joint?

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

I coat the inside of the panels with undercoating and/or bed liner.

[@59redwing]

The body work is interesting for Thoes of us less experienced. What do you play? I'm a musician myself. Don't tease us with the shirts lol. I'm ready to buy mine right now

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

I'm playing Bass now.I have been a drummer and guitarist in the past.Figuring out the shirts.Thanks!

[@macho4x4warlock98]

Classic Industries still says it pending stocking the part. I buy from them all the time. Their stock control is more accurate then the other suppliers. If you look closely at the discription Golden Star Classic Parts are the supplier to C.I.......G.S.C. Shows 10 plus in stock at the same price ad C.I.....

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

I got a confirmation email today saying my order has shipped.Hopefully I'll see them soon.Thanks!

[@johnkelly6942]

I might have asked before but do you have the “cable guide brackets” that are inside the quarters? Don’t recall if those were still welded to what was left of the original Nomad quarters.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Yes John,they are still there.

[@johnkelly6942]

@ You’re thinking retractor cables or DD Speed Shop solution? As you probably also know you have to have that bracket the retractor bolts to.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

In the short term I will go the DD route since I'm not building a real Nomad,but I'll have the option to upgrade in the future.

[@epk2027]

What instrument do you play?

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Bass

[@kevinstrawser5073]

Guitar?

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Bass currently.I have been a guitarist and a drummer at various times in the past.

[@morgansword]

I forgot to mention that I have had or built a hundred plus guitars... all most all of them have been given to kids and others trying to learn how to play... and of course... guitar is just too easy to not play

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

That's great Morgan!I have a pile of guitars too.Not even sure how many LOL!

[@JohnSmith-vc4yg]

Sell a first run of 1000 of those shirts. That Otta buy some welding gas, and cat food

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks John! Although I doubt there is a market for 1000 of them LOL! I'd be amazed if there was demand for 100 of them.And grateful!

[@BigBlock-wf3mh]

Hey Doug, is your nephew Mark coming back to help you with the videos & editing? Just asking…. 🎥

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

He usually comes on the weekends so...maybe.I do enjoy his company and help!

[@randyweaver7246]

Play some of your music in your videos

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Thanks Randy! I actually have considered it.Maybe someday...

[@gerrycomfort7027]

A THE WAY ONE HOPEFULLY WOULD THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE A

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

I hope there's no problem Gerry

[@johnk3930]

I’m alive. Phone is broke.

[@EllisKarKustoms-v9j]

Glad to hear you're alive John but sorry to hear about your phone LOL!
