History Norm Grabowski's rarely seen '23 Touring

Thanks Jimmy B - that is a great thread too!

 

Your car does not have to be a clone. Just let Norm's touring be the inspiration. The car in my avatar has more than 50 subtle and not so subtle changes from Norm's Kookie Kar, and, Norm was OK with that. There were things with Norm's build that did not sit right with me. And besides this, the Kookie Kar was in a constant state of change throughout the years of its popularity.

 

Subscribing. Have a 23 that I have similar visions for

 

I agree with von Dyck you don't have to build a klone. You just need to capture the look. The car has a great look as all of Norm's cars and motorcycles did. He had that "artists eye". You can do as von Dyck did and build what I call a copy or lookalike or like I did and just capture the look of his Kookie Kar. The stance is important as is the windshield and steering shaft angles. If you don't like the frame covers or the angle of the tube shocks (which were thought to be a form of anti sway bar) those don't seem too important to me.
