Hi Guys, I am 67 years old going on 25, in my mind at least. The aches and pains say different however. I haven’t joined any forums before, mostly just searched them for answers and ideas. Looking forward to spending some time here , I have a 61 Nomad that has been a project for a long time and have made some progress on it. I want to get it on the front burner and move the process along. I have already learned some things about the 348/409s here and appreciate the wealth of knowledge here.

Not only do we have all the right answers but we also have the best opinions or so some would have you believe.

Welcome about the same age as you and know what you mean about the pains, mostly self inflicted

Thanks for the welcome, just got back in the house from installing a vent window gasket/ weatherstripping on the Nomad. I’ve had it for over a year and the first time I began to install it I saw that it wasn’t going to fit, called Steele Rubber and the nice guy said “man that’s what it calls for but if you bring it to me I’ll look at it”or you can cut it to size and glue it back. So I finally got the nerve to do it today! Cut and paste that is. I would rather have an enema.

You're a little young to be here, but welcome....

Thanks Iowa 409 Guy,
I grew up a little south of Iowa in Chillicothe MO. Are you close to that area?
I’ve been in NC since 1979 though. My family raced some in Knoxville.

Now you’re talking in the language we understand! Very nice even labeled Nomad. Looks like a fun project.
