    I've only seen one, but it was carved from wood and highly polished...

    Don’t fret, Larry. Go with your idea. I didn’t get the leather helmet from Norm; I stole it off of an aviator teddy bear that my wife had. I’ve got a couple of Norm-skulls and for those who don’t know, they really are wood, all different and come in several sizes. If anyone wants to learn more about Norm or see more examples of his work checkout this link http://www.rumpsville.com/contents/norm/index.asp

    They are really cool, and a lot of work goes into them, but, good grief, Ol' Norman must be livin' high on the hog over there in Arkansas, if he's sellin' a lot of them. I can't afford one.

    That's Norms source of income. He does woodworking to pay the bills. I'm sure he would rather just retire like everyone else. The guy has so much passion for his craft. I am gonna buy one just to have. They will only go up in value.

    Actually I am kinda scared to have one in the car. I'm afraid someone will knock the glass out to get to it.....:eek:

    Man, and I just told my boss I didn't want to go with him to SEMA because I didn't think there would be anything there that would appeal to me!

    from tulsa, ok

    One thing about it, Norm probably never asked anybody to put one in their car.
    Mines fantastic and yes I'll be proud to run it in my car. I'll take it out evert night tho. Too many guys want one.

    Like I told the kid, "Your musics not too loud, its just like OKC, it sucks!"
