    I found some old negatives from my early days of visiting Norwood Autocraft. I told Rob about this awhile back but I was slacking getting them converted to CD. These photos I share with you are from the old shop on Tracy St. not far from SMU campus. Everything from the Norwood A12 Olds project, the 308 funny car, & the construction of a 330 P4. If anything these guys helped fuel my addiction for Ferraris & I thank them for that. I have more but need to find the rest of the negatives. Btw, sorry for size, that was the only way I could post them here.

    Enjoy.

    Hey, isn't that GTO conversion still in the shop? :D

    Cool pics! What color is that 328?

    I remember going to that location once back when I was like 8 years old. My dad used to work in an office building about 2 blocks away from there.

    I believe Norwood did several of those GTO conversions over the years.

    My dentist was 1/2 block away and I would float down to Norwood's after I was gassed up and drool over all the amazing stuff.

    Do you still get hungry 10 minutes later, or does that go away when you turn 40?

    Totally cool thread, Will. Any chance I could get a higher-res copy of the P4 replica being built, the one with the wire frame? That is pretty neat.

    David Moore has a lot of photos to go along with yours Will. He's just waiting on a replacement scanner and some time to scan them.

    The strange thing it looks almost exactly the same as when I first started going 2000. Wasn’t the 1990 place a different location than the 35E one?

    I THINK he was still on Tracy in 1990, prior to the Mockingbird location, then to the I-35/NW Hwy location. I can't remember the dates of the moves. Part of me thinks he might have even been back on Tracy between the last two.

    My first visit was 2000 or 2001. That was the NW hwy/I35 location. Bob moved out of there and ran his stuff from Rockwall in 2003.

    I remember a red 288 replica, a yellow P4 replica, parts of the 308 funny car, and the black Carmack 288 GTO.

    I don't see how any work got done at the Tracy shop.
    10 pounds of stuff in a 5 lb bag.

    Did the Carmack car ever get done ?

    The car was recently sold. From the pics I saw it looked complete and as though it had run at some point, but it was unclear whether it was running when purchased. Apparently does have the Batten engine which was intended for the car.
