Now that the rear suspension is almost complete, we decided to add a front sway bar for better handling. Part # 57-10298 sway bar works perfect with CPP lower control arms–Part # 21-186. Installation was a breeze, just drill some holes in the frame and mount.
Since we installed the Classic Chevy 2” drop spindles we are going to use the Classic Chevy rotors part # 20-126 along with new front wheel bearings part # 21-104. Be sure to grease the bearings and spindle before installation.
My interest in American cars started a long time ago. At the age of seventeen, I bought my first U.S. car. It was a 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air and the year was 1984. Due to Danish law, I was not able to drive it before I turned 18. In the meantime I got the car fixed up and ready for the road.
About the same time clubs for American cars were starting in Denmark, in Holstebro (where I live) we also started a club and named it after the famous boulevard in LA; Van Nuys. Lots of fun began for 10-15 young members of Van Nuys Car Club, and the hobby grew fast over the years. Today the club counts about 160 members and over 125 cars. www.VAN-NUYS.DK
If you plan on removing your crankshaft while leaving the rod and piston assemblies in the bores, attach a rubber band to a bolt on each rod and to a reinstalled oil pan bolt. This will keep the rods off to the side and from banging into the block when pulling the crank out.
The 1950s saw some of the most radical and progressive automotive styling ever. Across the pond, Europeans were building sleek, curvaceous sports cars, but in the U.S. auto styling began to take cues from machines of flight. After World War II leading into the Space Race, American cars began to develop aviation inspired attributes like fins and cross hairs. The Chevy Nomad fell directly into this category, but it also had a lot of unique features making it instantly recognizable. The Nomad was designed to have the sporty look of a hardtop combined with the utility of a station wagon. This concept, combined with the unique styling features like the forward swept B-pillars and the wrap-around rear side glass helped turn the Nomad into the icon it is today.
