Do the AMT 55 Bel air and the 55 Nomad share the same chassis? ....or close enough anyway? *NM*
I think it is the same. Can't get to mine to check, but 99% sure. We will find out if it's not!!! *NM*
Mostly the same except for the section behind the rear axle. Wagons are different there then sedans and hardtops. *NM*
The spare tire lies flat in the Nomad. The fuel tank is crescent shaped to go around the tire well. *NM*
The kit piece changes somewhere forward of the rear wheels. Close examination will reveal the exact spot *NM*
'55 chassis differences inside......PIC
Here's the sedan chassis out of the box before crossmember add....PIC
OK, thanks guys. I have both kits but the parts are kind of mixed . it looks like my sedan has the straight axle from the Nomad under it.
There have been two versions of the sedan; one included the Nomad's drag front axle setup, unplated *NM*
I built the AMT '55 sedan as a gasser many years ago and used the Revell '56 Nomad chassis, fit right in. *NM*
Do you recall which of the issues had the Nomad straight axle parts?

You would have thought that Round2 would create new box art for the gasser version given the re-issue of the Revell "Bad Man" kit that isn't the "Bad Man" gasser. and the way it seems to be selling
Tooling is presently tied up with the Nomad reissue *NM*
