    Hello, from Northern New Mexico! I found a 1961 Chevrolet Nomad Wagon in a local junk yard 99% complete. The owner of the yard new the last owners and even had the title! I bought it 5 years ago and have been working on it since, except I haven't touched it in over a year. time to make some decisions! Anyway, glad I found this forum, maybe I'll get some motivation!

    Just take a lot at the nice pics on this forum. If I am not motivated I also look at pictures of perfectly restored ones!
    Welcome!

    Gotta love those SW cars!

    Welcome, 6t1.
    That's a high-potential project - it's gonna be sweet!

    I'm testing the waters over at the for sale section because I may lose my storage of the vehicle in Aug. But at the same time I found this pic (great inspiration)! Hmm, I wonder if my neighborhood association would reconsider for classic wagons!
