Norm Grabowski











Bigger than life and Giant Icon in the world of wheels..Norm Grabowski has done it all... Hotrods,Movie *Star* and a great guy.
I commissioned Norm waaaay back in '94 to do a famed Grabowski Skull for my 34 Ford.
The 34 is long gone.... but I still have my treasured work of art.
Flat top Bob of Owen's Salvage is a big collector and has quite a few of Norm's priceless works.
Including a few knives and a Beerstein the should be in the Museum of Modern Art.
Jim Harrison also lent me a few pics to show off his new piece.

Lovely, Just lovely....
....enjoy!

Woo Woo Normee, Woo Woo!!!!!




Bill Vukovich


The life and career of Bill Vukovich has always marveled me.His amazing skill as a driver,his triumphs and his tragic death at Indy.Imagine going around the Brickyard at 150 mph with little or no protection and nothing more than a leatherclad helmet.Open wheel no less!

Guts 'n Glory!

True Hero.....
