    ALL PROCEEDS TO GO TO
    PUNK ROD TODD
    The treatments he is undergoing are not cheap and he is not able to work to full capacity.....so we need to help him out!
    This guy is one of the originals.
    I consider him a great friend and a true renaissance man - ask him about all sorts of things - and he can talk your ear off about them! And the guy is really
    funny as well. Get well Todd and we will all come to Greaserama to wish you well in person!

    Nick Sinclair is a great guy....(except for his driving at Back to the 50's). Talent abounds and this helmet is no exception.
    I really think this guy is one of the next generation that will be getting a lot more attention in the future.
    Check out his website at:

    I hope Nick will add some other art of his to show ya'll what he is capable of.
    Also - If Nick will explain a bit about the process of doing the helmet - I am sure people will appreciate knowing what went into it.
    Please note that he also does graphic design for companies that need some new image or redining the look that an existing company may want.
    Nick Sinclair is an awesome talent and I know people will want to grab this........


    Here is the usual info to fill everyone in on what the auction is all about:

    Not sure the HAMB knows what we put together for the Vintage Torque Fest. Jimmy Flintstone contributed helmets to the art show and these were sent out to the artists that agreed to help out back in October. The artists were asked to contribute whatever concept they wanted to the helmets.

    These helmets are a direct cast off an original German M40 WWII helmet and will fit with the proper lining installed. These helmets are NOT DOT approved so dont think you can wear this out on the street with your motorcycle.
    I hope you all will bid these things up.
    These helmets cost $40 with nothing on them - just the normal resin.
    Add the cost of the time and energy and paint that was contributed by each artist and you see that the helmets SHOULD go for over $100.
    The helmets that were auctioned off at the show went for about $150 - $200. But we did not have enough time to auction off ALL the helmets...
    Thanks for looking and we hope that you will continue to support the cause.

    Hey my helmet is up!
    I work in pen and ink, so that is what I did here. Kinda of tough to work on a round surface but worth it. The theme of the art is Jesse James cheating... uh, that's about it.
