    Gator did the strip Fink for the Torque Fest art show!

    Polar FINK!!!
    so we have received a Polar Fink, the Kustom Dorr Roth Fink, and Gator came up with his striped Fink.

    Now it is up to the artists out there to come up with some variations on the theme.

    I have had some artists ask what we want....well - whatever you think will be a cool idea and something you may feel is unique.


    My daughter and I came up with a quick list of things that may be interesting to see turned into finkdom.....

    Classic Icons like:Monroe
    Elvis
    James Dean

    CLassic horror icons:
    Frankenstein
    Bride of Frank
    Creature Black Lagoon
    Dracula
    Mummy
    zombies are really popular now - Zombie Fink


    Automotive Icons


    Shelby Fink
    Dale Earnhardt Fink (complete with intimidating moustache)
    Henry Ford Fink
    Mopar Fink

    homage to movies finks:Milner Fink from American Graffiti or Robert Mitchum Thunder Road Fink

    period correct Fink - caveman, middle ages fink - Victorian / Steampunk Fink, 50's Fink

    turn Fink into a girl and put a poodle skirt on her

    do a Don Johnson fink from the 80s

    Heavy Metal fink (like Rob Halford from Judas Preist)
    add some real hair, or cut the fink up and add your own parts/appendages (keep it family friendly of course), be dazzle the Fink - add sequins or glitter
    of course the variations on paint scheme can be tremendous....flat black with red accents

    or the new flat black - FLAKE!

    pinstripe the fink to the max
    how about other cultural icons these days
    Mario Bros Fink
    Darth Fink
    Bart Simpson Fink
    Kiss Fink
    Angry Bird fink

    or how about going to the color copy place and using some old Car Toon magazine covers and pasting them all over the fink?

    the list goes on and on - but dont be afraid to make yours stand out!

    We cant wait to see what the artists come up with and if you have not received your Fink - PLEASE email me.


    [email protected]


    Remember these need to be turned back in to me by April 15. We will have a professional photographer take pix of the Finks before the show.If you turn them in at the show - you risk not getting your Fink in the national magazines.

    Thanks

    Coolstuff. My fink will be done soon.

    Funny enough one of my first ideas on it was to chop up old pictures and do a collage fink. Maybe I'll get off my butt and finish "splat fink" this week.

    Killer stuff as always Mr Palatnik. You get my vote this week.

  17. 3D Flames, something a little different for my T Bucket. I've been wanting to do a 3D flame project for some time, and thought if I used the Grabowski Kookie car theme the finished product would have a different look to it.
    I started modeling/scuppering almost fifty years ago, and over the years have been involved in some interesting projects. The first flame project took place in 2000 when I was modeling Kayaks for the largest Kayak company in the world. We had an almost unlimited budget, and could play around with different designs. One of us cam up with the idea of a flame, or a lightning bolt. So we sculptured the flames on the deck of a master pattern boat we called the blaze. Like all design projects in the corporate world there left up to block heads in marketing. In the end the Blaze never made it to the market place. In 2007 I almost did the Blaze Flame theme on a 50 Merc that I was sculpturing, but the money and time ran out before it could be added to the original project. One more time where the powers that be couldn't see the forest from the trees. This time it's my own project and I have the final word.
    In the next month Ill be making a new mold for the entire T Bucket body, flames and all.
    Thanks for reading.

    Ruben, I keep telling everyone you are the Norman Rockwell of automotive paintings. You keep proving me right. Damn nice painting my friend.

    Great work everybody!
