    I just got back from Norm's. Got a good look at the Fish Truck. It really did come out nice. I like it a lot better than the Puke Truck.

    Gave him a ride back to his motel in my '27 T Touring way back in the 70's when we had him appear at the Nats East in Timonium, MD. He told me it was the second best touring after his Hot Rod cover car. I was happy to settle for being #2 in his eyes.

    Get them as fast as you can. I waited too long for Big daddy and I had to copy it off of a T shirt he signed for me. I thought it should be there though.

    I just spotted Norm in the Elvis movie "Girl Crazy" on Turner CLassic Movies this morning too. I looked up his imbd and he's been in a bunch of movies and TV shows! Always has that funny grin on his face. Cool cat.
