Norm built a hot rod T Bucket that was featured on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine in October 1955, and then again on the cover of the 1957 April edition of Life Magazine. As a result the car became so popular that it began appearing in movies and TV shows, most notably 77 Sunset Strip. This also led to an acting career for Norm. He had roles in movies like Girl Happy and Roustabout with Elvis Presley. He also played different characters in a number of Disney films. Besides his passion for building hot rods, Norm has another hobby. He carves skull gearshift knobs, many of which have found their way on cool cars around the country.
