Norm's Auto Body Rochester NH old photos

Was up at Paul Normand's shop and was poking around the office and came across some older photos of cars he has built or were under construction at the time . Quite a few for a one man shop ( with a little help from his friends as he gets older) in a rural New Hampshire town.

 

Man, that '36 and 32 5-w are sweeet!

 

Here are a few more

 

I just found this.That '36 is the balls!The guys in my former club the Kustom Kings of NH must know him they're from the same area.

 

Did he ever get any magazine coverage?

 

the only coverage i am aware of is a 1984 issue of Classic & Custom ( which I purchased)that had his chopped 51 Ford custom. He usually has 3 to 4 ready for sale and 2 to 3 under construction. Last time i was there there were a couple of 30s style dirt trackers,a 50s Indy style racer,a couple 34 ford hot rods , a Henry J .

 

Three 1932 Fords with Duesenberg type bodies

 

Nice work.

 

a few of Pauls Customs

 

Thanks for all the pics you've posted.Is he the kind of guy you can just drop in on to check out his stuff?

 

He usually is pretty busy working on his cars so i suggest calling ahead to see what he has on hand that is finnished and for sale. He does several cars per year and almost always only works on his own projects.

 

Holy Crap - This guy does several cars a year!!! And it takes me several years to, maybe, do one. It just ain't fair...

 

he stays busy !!!

 

been to pauls with my buddy randy [ who also has built many cars ]. always seems to be an array of cars being built, for sale, or waiting to be built. he doesn't let any moss grow under his feet. great guy.

 

Amazing work and it has to be pretty close to me in Lebanon.

 

If you go to the cruise night in Lebanon, he sometimes shows up in a 3 window, a very Traditional car. A great place to chat and not disturb his day job.

 

Here are several vintage style racers & a Ute Paul did this winter

 

unusual bike recently crafted by Paul

hot rod lincoln c & a big old Oakland racer & other stuff in progress. his output still averages about 5 vehicles a year.

 

Check out the plywood jeep in the background of the cut down car in the first picture looks like it was one nice go cart at one time that got put asside for bigger cars

 

Huh??

 

Paul is the man....he does not fuck around!!!! He builds what would take a normal person 4 years in 3 months!!!

He's a great guy as well.

Paul is "tha man" ...................

 

Paul has been busy building more cool cars. A bumper crop this year

 

A true Master Craftsman and a very talented person.

Where is he located N.H.?

Really creates some very nice looking traditional street rods along with a number of other styles of cars.

Rochester NH ... from memory i think his phone was 603 332 6266 & here on the HAMB also but spends most of his time in the shop building or out chasing parts and not on the computer. Always best to call Paul before just showing up.

 

Look what Paul just got !!
