I was asked to polish a 1958 Chevy Nomad for the Whangamata Beach Hop. I no you wont to no what is the beach hop ???
A quick little History

The Beach Hop is a 5 day event which attracts all kinds of classic and Hot Rods from all over New Zealand .Friday night and Saturday
are the main days with up to a thousand cars or more.
Whangamata is a favourite summer time holiday resort with 50% of the houses being holiday homes. The permanent population of 4000 swells to over 50,000 plus during the Beach Hop.

Meguiar's New Zealand is also one of the sponsors for the Beach Hop http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/images/smilies/dblthumb2.gifhttp://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/images/smilies/dblthumb2.gif

Very cool ride and nice work!

Don't you just love cars with chrome and stainless steel trim versus plastic?

Everyone loves the Tri-5's but I think the 58's are very cool cars too. Especially the wagons.

Nice work!

Gotta love a classic car that's been bagged and has cutouts right under the front fenders. Says I mean business to me! Very cool wagon.

Thank you all for the kind words :xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs:

These are the kind of cars that make it all worth while knowing that the owner is going to look after his pride and joy.
Yes rather polish stainless than plastic any day
