FIRST EVER PARMA 57 NOMAD GASSER!!

[hugger19]

its going to be built off of the tamiya semi frame rails since thats what iam use to using on my custom builds. plus the motor i ordered should fit perfect inbetween the rails, if not than i will have to go with the axial chassis kit which is nicer i know and more real, but we will see. just ordered a bunch of items off ebay. this is going to be gas!!!

well iam going to use the lindberg 1/8 exterminator dragster kit for some of the parts. too bad parma didnt make a 57 nomad so i wouldnt have to so far so good needs a lot more trimming and have to cut the roof off the 57 went with the 57 cause i wanna make a flip front end since its a 3 peice body plus the 57 is a nicer body plus i love wagons! rear wheels went together super easy they are a 3 peice design and worked really well.

Coworker of mine has a 56 wagon gasser. He'll like this build.

too bad the only thing left of the 56 is the roof u got a pic to send me to check it out

[romulus22]

Ill show him your build on Monday and see if he can get you a picture. Right now I think it's still wedged in his two car garage with his '57 and a Chevelle. Not sure how good of a picture he'll get stuffed in there.
