Details

This custom '57 Chevy Nomad comes from California and is a frame-off restoration with sleek lines and upgraded interior. On the outside, this custom California beauty has a sandblasted and powder-coated frame with custom metal-flake charcoal-gray paint and striking orange pearl paint all enhanced with tinted windows. To enhance the car's sleek lines, the door handles and hood accents were removed. Mixed size racing wheels were added to give it an even sportier appearance. The inside of this car is a California dream, housing new gauges, air conditioning, power steering, iPod plug in, custom hardware, custom-wrapped fawn leather seats and remote controlled windows. To add sleekness under the hood, the firewall was shaved. There is also a complete March aluminum serpentine belt pulley system attached to a 383ci small-block stroker engine with Edelbrock aluminum heads. An intake manifold supplies power to the powder-coated posi-traction 9' Ford rear end through a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The rear end was tubbed to fit Boyd Coddington 18x10' wheels, which are supported by mono leaf springs with stainless ladder bars. Powder-coated tubular A-arms support the 17x8' wheels. Stopping this beauty is a breeze with front disc brakes that have a powder-coated booster and chrome master cylinder along with polished stainless brake and fuel lines.
