Psmfab would like to introduce another on going project, a 55 Nomad.
This project is in its very early stages of development. We aim to turn this 50's SUV-like nomad into a modern,sports car handling, grocery getter. The sheet metal work is 50% complete at the moment.

heres a list of parts that will be used in the build.

-Chris Alstons front end/canted billet 4-bar rear suspension
- crate LS2/TH400-GearVendorOD/Fab 9 drive train
- Air Ride Shockwave suspension
- 19x8 front 20x10 Intro Twisted Sedonas
- 13"/11.6" SL6R Wilwood brakes

The car will have many mods, mostly custom fitting. The most noticeable will be the bumpers and trim.

Here is some renderings we had done by Kris Horton (http://www.carsbykris.com/1600site/index.html)
