Yes they are , I am not fortunate enough to own them but am fortunate enough to get the chance to work on them and many others like them.. here is a couple of updates on the 36 with fenders and running boards, finished up wiring up all the lights today. the Nomad should be back this week with the a/c installed and can make more progress on it, the owner also bought a 55 chevy today... He flips all the cars except the 36 and the roadrunner are the only two he will not sale. I have got to work on 63 vette , 56 cheifton ,hand full of tri fives, 46 willys Jeepster along with several 66-67 chevelles.

I'd love to have any of those vehicles. Aside from my 88 Fiero GT, my most classic vehicle is my 53 F100 that I've done a mild rodding on (5.0 FI, AOD tranny, TCI frame, Mustang 2 IFS, 4 link RS and 9" rear, disk brakes all around, new bed, widened rear fenders). That's a nice shop ( I wish I had a paint booth...I painted my truck one piece at a time in my driveway). Do you own the business? What is the name of the business? Tullahoma, isn't that by Manchester?

Yes Tullahoma is by manchester. It is not a business it is at my friends personal shop beside his house. I would be happy with a 3-4 car garage , he just so happens to have a 8 car garage with lift and full paint booth...

Hi jb1, First time I checked this forum section out. Didn't know what I was missing. Them are some beautiful cars, thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
JB1,Anything new going on in the garage? Thought I would bump this once a month so we could see more of them beautiful cars you get to play with, including the fiero
not much new right now, the 36 is done except chasing down brake issue, and got front end on the Nomad, I have to finish up wiring on it and he should be starting on interior soon. I will get some pics this coming weekend. The 55 gasser was traded at Rod Run in Pigeon Forge. He said he is finished after the Nomad but I do not believe him, he will have another project.

Interior finished on '36... A lot has been done on the nomad, I have to finish up some wiring and mounting everything in the dash then he ( the owner) is doing all the interior.. I will try and get some pics soon, it will be up for sale as soon as it is finished...wish i had the $$
and a pic or 2 of my piece of junk I am building besides the fiero, it is a 1967 Triumph GT6 , not sure if im going with a 4.8/5.3 or might use the 3800sc... decide that when get done with the body work... right now replacing floor pans upper and lower A-panels, inner outer rockers , door skins..... well bout all the body panels that are available....
If I go with the 3800, I will use a BW T5 from a camaro, but I am hoping to get the body back in good enough shape to justify the 5.3 with 4 speed muncie.... The nomad is out having all new glass being put in, I have to work this coming weekend so hopefully next week I can get some updated pics of it...

That GT6..... so few, glad you are saving it. I've seen a few good ones around these parts, and I stop to look. Walked past a perfectly good 458 Italia spyder to get a closer look at a BRG one. Thinking of doing on 3800sc with camaro trans in my wifes 91 300zx, let me know if you do it to the Triumph. Would like some notes and measurements!
The Nomad looks really nice.Whats the price on restored Nomad going for these days? Not that I have the money for one but I will grab some powerball tickets and see what happens.
Davylong86 , No idea but I know it isn't cheap I would bet you could buy a nice new vette for what this one will go for.. and probably have plenty of change,,, I have not had time between work, trying buy new house and my own project to work on Nomad or anything else for that matter, but here is a pic of my other project, Also new trans for the N* fiero 3.71 fdr

Sorry my friend, that is a '49 Ford. Just so happenes to be my favorite car so watch the Barney Fife stuff
Also that '55 Chevy makes me drool as well... Any updates?
[This message has been edited by BlackEmrald (edited 08-09-2015).]
Not much to update. The 49 is finished , he drives it all the time, just last weekend put about 500 miles on it to Louisville Kentucky and back.... The 55 is ready for interior the wiring is pretty much finished ... He has not ordered wheels yet, he is talking 18" fr and 20" rear.. He has been working on cutting up the corvette bumperettes to fit the line for the rear of the nomad ...
