Photo memories from Norm Castle

 Norm Castle's 1940 ford when he started on it in 1955

Here it is with a junkyard $7.00 rear fender (bet you'd like to find them at that price NOW!)

Body removed ready to put in an Olds engine and LaSalle side shift trans


Put back together and ready for paint


All polished up and on the show floor in Albuquerque New Mexico 1959.   Beautiful job



Norm's friend, Bill Black from Salt Lake with his 1947-48 Ford. Taken in 1957




Norm's 49  Pontiac Lowered in the front, COOL

Low enough to throw sparks when you brake hard



Drawing of Norm's 40 drawn on the back of a restaurant receipt in 1957 by one of his friends.




Newspaper article from 1955 showcasing the car club that Norm was a member of
