A Nomad Effort (cont.)
Finally, albeit the one minor area where he would need some help, Chad wrapped up his 3 1/2-year project by enlisting the help of his mother to complete the Nomad's interior. Of course, he takes the credit for the smoothed dash, elongated glovebox, and custom-built center console, but good ol' mom was called in to help stitch the inner threads up (a mixture of gray vinyl and black '56 Bel Air cloth material). Auto Meter gauges, Billet Specialties steering wheel, and a Kenwood/Eclipse sound system complete the package.
As mentioned earlier, Chad's mentor and employer, Bill O'Rourke, passed away before the Nomad was taken out for its first showing (Goodguys Indy). He knows as well as the rest of us that Bill's looking down on him with a proud smile for a job well done.
