Yes,
Cookie will be there this weekend. That's the plan this weekend. I'll be posting a want list later this morning on the Midwest Show Thread.

I can't type fast with all fingers okay. I'm the hunt and peck type.

How about a ' 55 Nomad ?
Great work ! One good thing about your creation is that it has the HO slot " Mojo " of its 2 forebearers !

Thanks for the compliment.
Why Aurora didn't produce a 57' Bel-Air for the A/FX or Thunderjet I'll never understand. I did read where they wanted to do a 55' Nomad but went with the 57' instead.
I've already built the 55' Nomad from the Aurora A/FX 55' Bel-Air and 57' Nomad. That will be the next to get cast. I've got to purchase some more silicone mold maker and produce the mold. I need a new grill for this one. The one on it now has a piece missing out of it.

This is another very cool machine.
I don't suppose that you just swapped roofs, right?
It took two 55s and 2 57s to build these bodies?

That's it. The two bodies it took to build the 55' Nomad were very nice bodies. It's true I'm swapping roofs. But to build the Nomad, I have to cut below the bottom of the windows and save that bottom window trim. It's kinda tricky, (for me anyway) but I try to work slow. If I get hurried, then the mistakes start to happen. Randy. |
