Super Chevy – October 2019

SUPER CHEVY OCTOBER 2019

matched to sequential port fuel

injection. A factory ignition lights the

fire while a custom 2 1/2-inch stainless

exhaust with Flowmaster 40-Series

mufflers setting the tone. There’s also

a neat custom air cleaner by One-Off

that adds just the right amount of

class to the engine bay. The goods

move through a warmed over GM

700-R4 trans to a custom driveshaft

to spin the wheels.

When it came time to addressing

the body, the One-Off team stripped it

bare while first addressing any minor

repairs needed. Since the Nomad has

the look of a mild custom straight from

the factory it didn’t need much in the

way of customization. The team shaved

the driprails and crafted custom trim

moldings for the door area. The vintage

sheetmetal was then metal finished and

gapped by team member Greg Parker to

prepare it for paint. Wanting to give the

wagon a signature look, Gary custom

blended a stunning combination of

BASF Tangelo and White pearl and

laid down a perfect coating to bring

the project to life. Added allure comes

from mile-deep chrome bumpers and

accents thanks to Advanced Plating in

Nashville, Tennessee.

For just the right personality

inside, the factory dash was smoothed

and filled with dials from Classic

Instruments to monitor the vitals while

a GM tilt-column with shifter cradles

a steering wheel from Billet Specialties

to carve a course. JL Audio components

installed by team member Jared

Schmidt lays down the tunes while

perfect temps inside are compliments of

Vintage Air. To bring all the comforts

for the long haul, Brad Wurtzbacher

of York, Pennsylvania, stitched up a

winning combination. Starting with a

set of reworked Chevy Tahoe seats, he

covered them with yards of soft leather

in a classic, contemporary pattern while

also crafting the complementing side

panels, headliner, console, and dash top.

Tan plush carpet completes the look

and seals the deal. This is one seductive

Nomad rolling out of One-Off Rod

& Custom that will sure see plenty of

miles with Tom at the wheel, and to us

that’s the real deal!
