Snap-on Tools Glomad Car: A High-Tech 1957 Chevy Nomad Masterpiece

SEMA Show has arrived, and we’re thrilled to finally announce a project we’ve been passionately working on behind the scenes! DTE has partnered with Snap-on Tools to create a unique, high-performance vehicle: the Glomad car. This ground-up custom build, conceived in a discreet North Carolina workshop, is a testament to innovation and classic automotive passion.

The Glomad is no ordinary classic car. Built upon a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, it’s been reimagined with cutting-edge technology and performance enhancements. Imagine a supercharged LS7 engine nestled within this iconic frame, supported by Corvette underpinnings and culminating in our very own ultra-heavy-duty DTE Stage 5 C5 Corvette differential and differential strut. This vehicle is a full embodiment of the Snap-on brand, reminiscent of the famed Snap-on Chopper created by Orange County Choppers.

DTE is incredibly proud to collaborate with Snap-on Tools on this venture. The Glomad project allows us to showcase the versatility and strength of our HD driveline products beyond the racing world and into diverse automotive applications. The robust differential and strut were specifically chosen to handle the immense power of the blown LS7 within the substantial frame of the Nomad, a challenge we readily embraced.

Want to witness the Glomad’s incredible journey from concept to reality? Visit http://www.aintstreetlegal.com/ to explore a wealth of videos and images documenting the build process, from its inception to its shipment to SEMA. You can find DTE product features and mentions in “Video Episodes” #65, #66, #72, and “Lex Cam Videos” #25, with further acknowledgements in “Doc’s Blog” under “It’s action packed in the labratory”.

The Glomad’s journey doesn’t end at SEMA. It is scheduled for appearances on TV programs next year and will be showcased at numerous tool and car shows across the USA throughout 2008. We extend our sincere gratitude to Snap-on Tools for this remarkable opportunity and the pleasure of working together. We invite you to delve into the Glomad saga through the available videos and share our excitement in this extraordinary project!
