Found a cool blog, unfortunately it never posted much, but it's all about T Buckets

Above: the Geraghty-Crawford grasshopper that Von Dutch striped and lettered

Above: what the dumbasses that bought Grabowski's Kookie T did to it, two better images of it at the end of my gallery http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/replica-of-norms-kookie-t-i-doubt.html

And a couple images of Roth's Excalibur and Tweedy Pie

all of these are from http://t-bucketworld.blogspot.com/ but the guy who put it on the web only had about 2 dozen posts total.

Ever heard of Norm's Henway? I just found it in the late 70's Hot Rod

I can't find where I pulled the above image from, Brandon Flannery took the photo, and says the image was probably from the HAMB / JalopyJournal

It's not like Gray wrote, (click on the image for a very large readable size) this wasn't a restoration, the Henway is a creation. A play on the old joke, what's a Henway... about 3 pounds.

The rest of these images are from the Jalopy Journal and obviously not the same vehicle

I just noticed that all 3 of these appear to have different rear windows

A good write up, biography, and photo gallery all about Norm Grabowski

But for the latest, go look over Norm's website, and the cool new Nash he's working on, Grabowskis's Kinds Fresh Fish truck http://www.normsnews.com/Fish%20truck.html
