I'm a member of the Legendary Paul Norman Fan Club. I have a button to prove it!

 

Thread made my day, also made me slobber a bit. Dig this guy's eye. Cyclops lighting via the racer noses was very cool. Actually the double light track nose ain't too shabby either. What a lucky group to be near this man's joint. Thanks for the posts.

 

Get any pics of the green sports car in the garage?

 

I do not have a current one since it has been upholstered and the body work completed.
here is one from several months back under construction. I understand that it has been sold since completion.

The "Green Machine" is currently on eBay advertised as a 1939 King Cobra for 32K.

 

The last time i seen the blue and white 51 ford was now black and deep red ,has a buick grill,buick headlights,bubble skirts and nice and low..still looks nice.

 

That's one sweet looking Buick speedster!!

 

I think this one was redone by Paul not a ground up build

John Lyon built that car back in the earlier 90's and it looks exactly the same as when he sold it 25+ years ago. That Buick drove to the top of Mt Washington and back down better than most new cars. John also won top eliminator (his first time drag racing !)at one of the MSRA drag events . Dialed in a 26.0 second et and ran the number all day. Never could reach the 60 mph barrier. All good memories.

 

Baron:Was that Buick speedster in a garage in Salem? Can't remember the guy's name(he was a lawyer turned car restorer)and specialized in Bugattis. I was in the shop once and there were FIVE Bugs in there in various states of completion. He also had an Ardun Ford engine on a stand.AHH! I remember his nameonn Coleman! Garage was an old gas station across from where Salem St. starts. He used to do a lot of racing up Mt. Washington.

 

Hi Ray. The 27 Buick did not come out of Salem. Sending you a pm.

WHOAH!!!!! What a collection of builds! Now we know why E&J headlights are so expensive- they are all on Pauls cars. I recognize many of these beauties- great cars- all of them

 

Ray, Don Koleman's site. He's just off rte 1, south of Portsmouth. Several Bug's, A Caddy, Offy's, you name it!

Really one of the most talented guys on the east coast

 

Another nice Buick!!' I'm doing a 30 Buick coupe right now. This speedster has me thinking about a change in direction.

 

He amazes me!

 

Paul is an animal! Nice work.

 

These last 2 speedsters were mostly what he had for spare parts around the garage and hand formed bodies. He mainly builds hot rods.. Here is this years crop... several finished or almost finished hot rods he has in stock for sale. Yes he built that flathead powered bike also. The 29 barn fresh Chry roadster has 265 chev v8 a/trans and juice brakes. In the upholstery shop not pictured are a 36 Ford 3w and a 34 Ford Vic. He is on the hamb here somewhere but has issues with loading images or is too busy in the shop to figure it out. He builds more cars in a year than most do in a lifetime.

 

Rick, great job showing many of the cars Paul has built, no body will ever believe one man could produce so many great ones with no help.
