The Hot
Wheels '57 "N0-NOMAD"
It's been a
pleasure watching this custom '57 Bel-Air Wagon evolve slowly throughout the
years. This is a real "Hot Wheels" car owned by a good friend Bruce
Schultz. It took Bruce a while, but slowly and surely, this car made it's
debut at SEMA 2005 in the Hot Wheels booth. It's hard to imagine that this
unique and brilliant paint job on this car is only temporary, but that's what it
is in this case. It'll all eventually get wiped off in time and a
permanent paint job is applied. It was quite fun and a honor to help with
this car in the paint and flames process. Other ideas to consider
for this "No-Nomad" is to possibly back-tape the flames and paint the car a
transparent black over the red. But the most likely finished scenario
would be for a showcar-painted black with a different set of traditional licks
similarly shown. This car is a definite attention getter at SEMA and
wherever it's shown. You just can't help but to get a 2nd look.

These exclusive images below shows one of the last stages of the process that I
taken during the paint and assembly. Basically the normal SEMA rush that
you hear about, and in this case, the painting started about 48 hrs before being
trailer to Vegas. A lot of great folks and shops helped out along the
way. Photos shown below are that taken during the last leg of the build.
Pics are of Bruce Schultz, Myself, and Ken the Pinstriper. The Jerzman
came by to give a much needed hand. Karl Scheller, and
Kelly Cox did a lot of work with the assembly the last night along
with our very own, Wildman "Mr. Bill".
You may also
recognize or recall seeing this car as an actual HW's 100% '57 Chevy Nomad,
although it's not really a Nomad, hence "NoNomad". There's been many
versions of this diecast such as the pink version in the Oil Cans and the Troy
Lee 2-Car set, but the one that is special to me is the one pictured left, as
it's the first HW's car I designed the flames for back in 2000. Enjoy the
pics! |
