container more then 40 years earlier. Like a dream, the old Nomad was in great shape for a storage car with light rust, almost all the trim, and only a few parking lot dings. Tamera quickly made a deal, made some room, and started planning for a super bitchin’ restomod ’56 with a just-right amount of custom to go with a just-right amount of stock, if you know what I mean. Tamera loved the looks of her ’56 Nomad, but if you have ever driven a stock ’56 Chevy you’ll under- stand why she went with a full frame from the esteemed pros at The Roadster Shop. The frame is one of their RideLine frames made especially to ride
flawlessly and handle well. The custom IFS features box tube A-arms, an anti-roll bar, power rack-and-pin- ion steering, and big Baer brakes. The fully custom rear suspension is a Strange Engineering 9-inch, four-bars, coilovers, and more Baer brakes. Tamera slipped a LS3 long-bock inside the perimeter frame and dressed it with Edelbrock EFI topped with an oil bath-style air cleaner, coil relocators, faux Corvette valve covers, and a custom stainless-steel exhaust with Magnaflow noise dampeners. The chassis is fin- ished off with custom Billet Specialties wheels run- ning a stock dog-dish look wearing 18/20-inch Diamondback rubber. DECEMBER 2025 27
