bang Hey Joe-Greetings from Long Branch,N.J.,Americas First Seashore Resort and 7 time U.S.summer Capital and from a long time rod and custom guy....what a ride!....a lot of work but it sure looks great.
The ride is a long one but I would like to see the EL NOMADO at our 14th annual Fathers day Cruise to the Jersey Shore car show at the boardwalk oceanfront next year.

Nice set of wheels one of the coolest wagons ive seen nice work o on the EL NOMADO verry cool
Thank You All!
The best compliments anyone can get is from people in the know. This site rocks and you guys are the best, Thank You
Hey Lee, keep me posted on that Boardwalk show, I'll try to make it.
And Jens those trailers are very cool--I'm thinkin' "El Otrailo"
Robert..this car had it's premier at Rhinebeck, Napa found out I was building it and was close to finish so they invited me to display the car at the NAPA booth.
The car will be at Super Chevy...probably Reading, but my 2008 schedule is not
complete yet.
Bob and DQ...yes, when I designed the car, I wanted to make it as if the car was factory made and customed. The hard part was getting the proportion correct. There were a couple of times in it's Frankenstein stages when I just about gave up---seeing through this one was tough. The structure of the lift gate is such that there is two I-beam supports that run down both sides of the rear section and into the tail. This gives the roof stability and strength. Plus the lift gate is held by torsion bars across the top. The whole unit was re-created behind the cabin and
chopped 2". There are many other nuances in this car the only we can appreciate.
And the El Nomado script was made by Motorhead Jewelry. They are on the web.
They will make any script or emblem you require....Good People!
Again....Thanks Joe
