Back on the Newmadd!
This wagon has been sitting idle while I've been collecting parts. This car is super solid but needs a good once over before being put back into service. I did splurge on a new fuel system, new brakes and front suspension.
Before any of the fun stuff, I tackle the rest of the floor repair. The final push of rust repair, it was rough but we made it through. This car is not "rust free" on the underside.
Oya, I love steel wheels and dog dish caps...

You are doing reconstructive metal surgery on the Nomad. You have my utmost respect for how you considered the car's originality in your repairs. The song: "What do you do with a rusted Nomad?" comes to mind.

In 1965 my 1st car was a 2door 55 Chevy with junkyard 283, 3 speed with Hurst floor shifter, light gray primered, black steelies with baby moons, not poverty caps. The baby moons were less than $20, the price of 1 chrome reverse wheel at Western Auto. AM radio with reverb hooked in. Engines put in with chain hoist hanging from tree limb, clutches changed on your back. Old guys like your shows , too. Our floor patches were missing road signs.

A lot of work,time was never ending. 40 years and I’m still riding around in bad ass car!!! Wouldn’t trade it for nothing. The nomad looks super cool. I wish some of the colors from today would have been around then. Chevy wore me out with green. RS green is an exception. Keep kicking and thank god for letting you be so good at welding because that is the hard part for me. I still do it till I get it right. Time,time and A good night Dan!!! Good stuff

The floor looks good. I tried to use the narrow rims on the front with disc brakes and the rim rubbed the caliper. Hopefully your kit was made for stock rims. You put in lots of hours to make it go that fast. You should try leaving the camera in one spot for a few days and run 3 timelaps overlaps with you working on different areas so it looks like 3 of you are working on a car.
