Doug, glad to see you are using a gas tank from something else. That shows how you are saving money and using your thinking process. I think you are doing a good job of rebuilding the car and saving a bunch of money.. I still am impressed with your guts to rebuild it. That takes a lot of planning and foritude. Your seem to be doing a good job, so far. I really liked the way you did the bottom of the tailgate area, it looks very good. I am watching every thing you do to the car, just amazed, I guess. I'll let you get back to it.
Doug, you have a couple of characters there as helpers in the shop! The car is looking great. That passenger side looks fantastic, and I still can't get over how nice that rear tailgate opening looks. You literally made it all from basically nothing and it looks factory. Great work! If you don't already, make sure to check out Mike over at "Junks Automotive".
Another great video. Fender looks great, that’s a large area to get flat. Truly understand the comment about under the side trim…..you will always know what’s underneath it……could result in many hours of lost sleep!!! 😂😂🇨🇦
Looking under the car and then inside of the floor where you have been welding makes you realize how much mig wire and argon gas that you have used. Great fab work going on here Doug. Be a Great Nomad by spring.
Because I know you can, do a captured nut for front to attach strap . Gives you a little wiggle room to start bolt when holding the tank up with your shoulder and a cat in your face
What is a captured nut? Is it pre-welded to the strap or tank? Or loosely attached so you can slip one side in? Like to know cause this is a bit of a learning experience
Hey it good to see you coming along on the 57 it looking great I see you have your too little buddy help you today that great keep up the great work on the 57
Hey Doug looks like you’re making great progress. I’m not a T-shirt guy but if you had hats I’d be interested for sure. I am really impressed how far you’ve come in just these few months I’ve been watching. Just thinking back to your first video you’ve come a mighty long ways! I’m glad we’ve met here on RUclips and if I’m ever in your area I’d love to see this in real life. I’ve never been out of the Midwest though so the chances are slim I’ll ever see it. I’ll keep on following on the web and once again thanks for taking us all along for the ride!!
Hey Doug, love those cats, and they obviously love you! Can’t believe how good that quarter looks! I hope you took some before pictures! You may forget how bad things looked when you started. Ken
You could drop a couple of bolts down thru the holes in the floor, weld them to the floor, used nuts & washers to fasten the straps Wouldn't have to disturb anything to drop the tank. You may have to stop & love on the boys!. Rock On, Doug!
My opinion on the welding a capture nut on the floor for the gas tank straps; use a carriage bolt and point down to ground. Tack weld the top of the carriage bolt to the top of floor. Then the strap can be installed with some variance of adjustability. Starting a nut on the carriage bolt is easier than starting a bolt that goes though the sheet metal caged nut. Possibility having bolt protrude into the compartment and mess with the plywood your putting down.....
That makes sense but unfortunately as you'll see in the next video,I welded the nut and washer to the floor.That said,I could run a bolt from the top side down and weld it to the nut if that ends up being better.Thanks!
Keep up the great work AND inspiration to a can do work ethic. You are a true, talented craftsman. Count me in for for 2 shirts: 1 Large and 1 Extra Large please.
Hi Doug. I’m Bobb from the great white north. I want one of your shirts in a large. You should also put your best helper, White Toes on the shirt too, lol!
Doug. It's the winter swap meet in Springfield Mass on the grounds of the Big E. I don't know how far you are from there but people travel to this because it's an indoor show.
Hi Doug,The car is looking really great,keep up the good work.I would like to buy a t shirt if you do decide to make them,extra large.Bill in California,take care.
I’m exited about the progress Doug. The ford tank will work out nicely. The route you laid out for the straps will look like a factory install. Looks like the top is in pretty good shape. I know it’s a little early for paint colors but I was thinking how nice the body would look black with some flake in it. And the top a turquoise with some pearl and metal flake. Oh well just a thought lol. Keep up the great work. Til next time.
That quarter looks great! I'm going through my parts now to see what I need to pick up at Springfield's swap meet show this coming weekend. Maybe you might go, and I'll have to tough base with you if you go.
This is the Most Coragouse hot rod project I’ve ever considered. Like you ( well maybe not like you , but I’m retired,and life always kept me from building, actually building my dream car with life the kinda money it took to raise 4 kids and a couple Ex Wife’s just made it cost prohibitive for me) anyway ive spent 500.00 a month ( my Allowance every month) since Dec 2023 till now buyin parts , casual comment by my grown son one day in sept 2023 , he said Dad , I Wish you and I had Built a HotRod together, before yer Health got bad (I’ll be 63 in February) anyway without much more said , Well pardon my mouth , That lit a Fire under my ARS ( ima Scot) so some how I found a 48 Chevy Styleline 2 dr . Had been a forgotten project as many do , long story short it was listed 1,000.00 bucks no motor or Trans, we went down and looked at it 100 miles away , 4 link already done in the rear end chevy 10 bolt like from Chevelle maybe , 74-79 front mustang2 clip with disc brakes ( only thing worked was the brakes lol) someone had bought a eBay floor kit for it and welded it in, but nothing welding body to floor or frame aftermarket center line wheels rolled front end we thought we hit the Jack pot. Came with new in box 4 row aluminum Rad with electric fan kit and relay. So I gave him half down , he said I’ll deliver for 100.00 bucks , where do ya live 100 miles north I told him , he said , I’ll bring it up Sat. He showed on schedule, I said bud , 100.00 bucks won’t cover yer fuel in that big dodge hemi, and McDonald’s, kinda feelin bad maybe give him 20 more , he said , no sweat my wife wanted this out of the front yard you did me a favor lol. So unloaded tarp up (pacific northwest starts getting moist up here around sept.so outside wrench time was over . Anyway 2 months later Dec1 2023 (we have a web site up here called offer up, kinda like Craig’s list) add read 1956 Chevrolet 150 2 dr wagon no motor or Trans 5,000.00 or trade for dirt equipment. On a Whim mind ( now Remember 1956 chev 2 dr wagon is the car I fell in love with in 1973 I was 11 yrs old Lord please that’s the car for me ) Anyway , I sent him a message that I had a 48 2 dr chev did he have any interest in a swap . He answered back kinda Quick, said well let me come look , he was here in a hr. We took tarp off , after a few mins, he said he would think about it . He called just after dinner , and said he and his wife had talked about it , and after dinner prayers his wife and i decided I should have the car , he knew nothing of my love of the car . And what I can Say , The Lord Does answer prayers in his on time , even if it was that of a foolish 11 yr old boy. So Douge for you to be doing reverse Osmosis turning a hardtop into a Nomad , I’ve Never once ever heard of it being done, And your doin a Fine Quality job on a budget (gotta use ever last drop of gas because ya got a budget I’m super impressed, and I’m resto-Modding my car ( I did mtr. ,tranny, rearend, brakes fenders doors . But I’m 4 bolts off frame off . Front end already rebuilt, disc brake conversion done drivers rocker in ( son of a machinist he didn’t weld bolt on new lol so ive taught my old but to weld . So drivers rocker in passenger side cut out and self tapped to hold ready for weld, whole front Floor pan cut out from toe boards to cargo floor . That’s where I am now have 350 bored 30 over ready to assemble as well as trans column rear breaks ( have acs-10 10 bolt but that’s later) so that’s where yer biggest fans at. Make it suck the just did neck surgery from front and back 2 days apart 2 weeks ago. If I’m lucky I can restart in late February . I’ll keep sending ya pics to face book. ( forgot to add the reason Jr. mentioned us building a car , ive had a stroke, left.&Rt.rotator cuffs fused lower l3-4-5 lower back disc , and now my neck . Neurologists had already told my wife no more cars . I was showing 4 cars when I had the stroke . Wife sold it all down to the last washer and tools figure I’ll be pushing 20k when I’m done lol even though originally I and Jr. paid 1,100.00 traded for a 5,000.00k car lol just wanted to share
That's a great story Willie! The addiction we have to cars is as strong as any addiction to drugs or booze.It may break us financially but it's not as bad to our health.Keep wrenching my friend,it keeps you young (I'll be 61 this year)!
LARGER SHIRTS COST MORE AND WILL SHIPPING COST? TRACY AND CASS CHECK THAT FOR YOU ~ NICE TO SEE THE "BOYS" VISITING♥ HUGGIES (I AM TRYING TO KEEP UP) :)
Thanks Steven! Believe it or not,I have a 20 year old digital camera that I film with and I stick the memory card in my tower and load the files on to Windows Movie Maker.Old man tech LOL
Put Eric down for one size small shirt. I will be following you through your entire build. I have also noticed that DD Speed Shop has finally started fabbing some of his own body patches again, after a long pause. Has he been watching your channel and been inspired?
Doug I have a 57 I think passenger side fender air duct goes behind the headlight dont know if you have them for your project its salvagable do you need one? Let me know your not too far away ...Glenn
What do you play, guitar, bass , drums and or vocals?, With your band?. I have a few guitars and it took me to get old to finally get the rhythm and I wish I could have been as good as I am now, back when I was young in the late seventies and eighties. Always wanted to be in music, but retired as a longshoreman. Thank God for unions
Instead of welding a blind nut in the trunk, could you weld a bolt coming from in the trunk down? That way you wouldn’t have a bolt protruding up into the trunk. Second, I’ll take a shirt, XL.
You could cut down the price by just getting iron on transfer logos made and they could be sent in envelopes and the people could put them on their own shirts, hoodies etc. just a thought. You would have to include instructions
T- shirts are 50 minimum at any concert, and low quality at that. My daughter took me to see the Gorillaz and bought each of us a shirt for 50 bucks each. Very thin material. It used to be, a concert was about 5 bucks and the tour was promoted to make us buy the latest record. Now the only money that they make is the price of the concert and the merchandise 😂
It ain't like the good old days Peary.That's why I set the price as low as I could.50 bucks is way too much for a t shirt of any quality.I thought 35 was way too much.Hopefully they will be good quality...
100%. Maybe I'm old but I used to buy nice soft cotton concert t shirts, now they seem to be the roughest, cheapest quality they can find and charge you double or triple what they should be.
I'm rewatching cause I can't pay attention while typing on this fake typewriter that Evil big brother made into a permanent part of my hand . Our beloved cat Pluti passed away yesterday he showed up at our neighbors door as a kitten and moved to our house when our neighbors retired to Vancouver Island 2 or 3 years ago and my wife and daughter are devastated. Looks like a kitten could be a future possibility, but not right away. Everytime I trip over one of my wife's slippers, I still think it might be the cat. Take care
B- 632 Godwin Court Coquitlam BC V3K 5V8 Canada. I'm ok with people having my address, if they want to send me Beatles and Batman items. Nobody writes letters anymore, so nowadays pen pals are subscribers . I make my own T shirt's and other junk
I may do like DD Speed Shop and Cold War motors do and set up a PO box.I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a nobody like me would need one.I am a very small fish in a very big pond.It sounds like something big fish have to do.On another note,you would love some of the Beatles things I have collected over the past 50 years!
Send me an address to this address, so I can send you a couple of things. If you aren't comfortable doing that, you should get a post office box address
Instead of welding a nut for the gas tank strap, drop a bolt with a washer through the hole and weld it from the top. I am interested in a shirt, XL. Thanks
Doug that 1/4 panel turned out sweet. Nice work
Thank you Joe!
Doug, glad to see you are using a gas tank from something else. That shows how you are saving money and using your thinking process.

Thanks John,that'll be a great day!
Good job Doug. Nomad is starting to look just fine.
Thanks!
The 57 is looking GREAT.
Thank you very much Jim!
In the grand scheme of things the time spent making the quarters nice under the trim is nothing compared to the whole project. 👍👍🇨🇦
True John! The Devil is always hiding in the details...
Looking under the car and then inside of the floor where you have been welding makes you realize how much mig wire and argon gas that you have used. Great fab work going on here Doug. Be a Great Nomad by spring.
I've welded to the Moon and back LOL.Thanks!
Wow your channel is growing. The nomad is really coming together and then looking like a total success ! Yes I want a shirt, 2xxL 👍
Thanks Mario! I am grateful that so many are digging it! That's 25
Another great video 👍👍
Thank you Shane!
Looking like a Nomad now , excellent job Doug. Really like your video my friend.
Thank you very much Edward!
Because I know you can, do a captured nut for front to attach strap . Gives you a little wiggle room to start bolt when holding the tank up with your shoulder and a cat in your face
Thanks Greg,you never know when a stray cat is gonna get in your way LOL!
What is a captured nut? Is it pre-welded to the strap or tank? Or loosely attached so you can slip one side in? Like to know cause this is a bit of a learning experience
@ nut floats in pocket attached to floor
Doug showed us something similar for the tailgate hinge mounts
Not sure the video number

Looking good. Count me in for 2 large shirts.
Thank you very much Steve! That's 21 and 22!
👍👍 1 Large!!
Thanks,I appreciate it! That's 27
You could drop a couple of bolts down thru the holes in the floor, weld them to the floor, used nuts & washers to fasten the straps Wouldn't have to disturb anything to drop the tank. You may have to stop & love on the boys!. Rock On, Doug!
Thanks my friend! The boys are very needy when they're together LOL!
Looking good Doug! I'll take a XL shirt!
Thanks for the video
Thank you very much! That's 43
Hey Doug ….Shirts sound great……
Thanks Kevin! We'll call that 40!
My opinion on the welding a capture nut on the floor for the gas tank straps; use a carriage bolt and point down to ground. Tack weld the top of the carriage bolt to the top of floor. Then the strap can be installed with some variance of adjustability. Starting a nut on the carriage bolt is easier than starting a bolt that goes though the sheet metal caged nut. Possibility having bolt protrude into the compartment and mess with the plywood your putting down.....
That makes sense but unfortunately as you'll see in the next video,I welded the nut and washer to the floor.That said,I could run a bolt from the top side down and weld it to the nut if that ends up being better.Thanks!
Keep up the great work AND inspiration to a can do work ethic. You are a true, talented craftsman. Count me in for for 2 shirts: 1 Large and 1 Extra Large please.

What do you play, guitar, bass , drums and or vocals?, With your band?. I have a few guitars and it took me to get old to finally get the rhythm and I wish I could have been as good as I am now, back when I was young in the late seventies and eighties. Always wanted to be in music, but retired as a longshoreman. Thank God for unions
Right now I play Bass.In the 70's I started as a drummer.In the early 80's I learned guitar.Now whatever spot is open,I can fill.
I'll take a shirt
Thanks Tim! size? That's 5
@EllisKarKustoms-v9j 4xxxxl.. just kidding. Large will do
LOL! Thanks Tim
Does your garage get cleaner with each video?
LMAO! That was a joke right? Every time I turn around I can't find the floor LOL!!Thanks Tim!
@@EllisKarKustoms-v9j no it wasn't a joke. Lol
Okay just checking LOL!
Count me in for 2 (2XL)
Thanks,I appreciate it! That's 23 and 24!
@EllisKarKustoms-v9j my Miss's wants one as well now XL
Actually make it another 2XL so I can claim it in the end
The bits are getting bigger and looking good. I'm gonna pass on the tee-shirt, I'm too big that for the regular sizes they typically offer.
That's okay,I just appreciate the fact that you're enjoying the channel!
Instead of welding a blind nut in the trunk, could you weld a bolt coming from in the trunk down? That way you wouldn’t have a bolt protruding up into the trunk. Second, I’ll take a shirt, XL.
You know,I didn't think of doing it that way.But the deed is done.They were pretty long bolts so going to shorter one should be fine.Thanks! That's 10
I XL shirt
Thanks John! That's 14
You could cut down the price by just getting iron on transfer logos made and they could be sent in envelopes and the people could put them on their own shirts, hoodies etc. just a thought. You would have to include instructions
That may be an option too.Thanks!
I want one doug and I be happy to pay $25 large
Thank you! That's 31
Can you ship to Canada? Your 51st state.....
I will have to look into that Werner.I'll let you know...
I'm in Canada as well and would be interested
I know I have quite a few Canadian friends so hopefully I can hook you guys up!
I too live in Canada 🇨🇦 and want a tee large please…the car is transforming before our eyes 👀 great work Doug
T- shirts are 50 minimum at any concert, and low quality at that. My daughter took me to see the Gorillaz and bought each of us a shirt for 50 bucks each. Very thin material. It used to be, a concert was about 5 bucks and the tour was promoted to make us buy the latest record. Now the only money that they make is the price of the concert and the merchandise 😂
It ain't like the good old days Peary.That's why I set the price as low as I could.50 bucks is way too much for a t shirt of any quality.I thought 35 was way too much.Hopefully they will be good quality...
100%. Maybe I'm old but I used to buy nice soft cotton concert t shirts, now they seem to be the roughest, cheapest quality they can find and charge you double or triple what they should be.
Sad but true...
I’ll take 1 extra large . Let me know.
Thanks Derrick! I will. That's 38
@@EllisKarKustoms-v9jbetter make it a xx-large

I'm rewatching cause I can't pay attention while typing on this fake typewriter that Evil big brother made into a permanent part of my hand . Our beloved cat Pluti passed away yesterday he showed up at our neighbors door as a kitten and moved to our house when our neighbors retired to Vancouver Island 2 or 3 years ago and my wife and daughter are devastated. Looks like a kitten could be a future possibility, but not right away. Everytime I trip over one of my wife's slippers, I still think it might be the cat. Take care
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty.Hopefully he didn't suffer.We had a cat that lived to be 19.It was hard to see her go.Take care
Please order me 1 XXL T Shrit. T Y.
Thank you very much! That's 36
B- 632 Godwin Court Coquitlam BC V3K 5V8 Canada. I'm ok with people having my address, if they want to send me Beatles and Batman items. Nobody writes letters anymore, so nowadays pen pals are subscribers . I make my own T shirt's and other junk
I may do like DD Speed Shop and Cold War motors do and set up a PO box.I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a nobody like me would need one.I am a very small fish in a very big pond.It sounds like something big fish have to do.On another note,you would love some of the Beatles things I have collected over the past 50 years!
I would probably buy a shirt IF it's NOT made in china. Do you want to weld a bolt through the floor instead of a nut?
Thanks Frank! The bolt through the floor was a popular suggestion LOL That's 39
Send me an address to this address, so I can send you a couple of things. If you aren't comfortable doing that, you should get a post office box address
put me down for a t-shirt please!
Thanks Robert! That's 19
Instead of welding a nut for the gas tank strap, drop a bolt with a washer through the hole and weld it from the top. I am interested in a shirt, XL. Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion and the shirt request Mike! That's 41
