    norm is on the way to sema with a load of new skulls and thought everyone would like to check them out!

    first the new gear head, gears are made from maple.

    and the last with the billet eyes and jaw is unbelievable.

    I've always been a fan of Norm's work, but that last one is off the hook.

    I know the ole Polack get between $1500 and $4000 for a custom cane so I would think the gear shifts would be in the $500 and up range..

    Anyone going to SEMA be sure to take some pics and get the real info on the cost of the skulls

    his skulls are 650.00 and up, the first one (the table model) will be for sale at sema for 1650.00 i think.

    the last one is in outer space on price but you should see the work that went it to it!

    I think that should be "El Polacko"...or at least that's what Woo-Woo calls hisself on his outbound answering machine message.

    Not the only one. Obviously a lot of good work goes into them.

    I mean, I wouldn't be caught with one of those on my Hot Rod, but they are pretty cool to look at and admire how much talent it takes to make em.

    What are those things made out of? Looks like loads of melted wax or something, or at least some of those that I have seen give me that impression.

    That last one is pretty damn nice looking, though.

    Websters New Riverside Dictionary defines "norm" as "...considered typical...".

    There has never been anything "typical" about Mr. Grabowski.

    Amazing craftsmanship and artistic vision in all that he does.

    The pieces I've seen were made out of wood. And yeah, they were incredible...

    Wow... if those are all made out of wood, then that makes them all the more impressive.
