The body after the floors have been replaced (all new reproduction steel except one brace that is now reproduced) and many parts repaired to correct 45 years of weathering!

The body is on a roll cage made by Don that has seen more than is share of use restoring various 1955-57 Chevrolets. It was produced from plans published in the "Nomad News" newsletter of the now disbanded NNC National Nomad Club. Chevrolet Nomad Association replaced the club.
