Finks!!!!

My blog is about all things silly, weird, cars, rods and bikes. It is also about Finks! I have been collecting Ed Roth's models and models kits for quite a few years and I have everyone except the elusive Boss Fink and Tweedy Pie. I love the box art on the kits which is what most of my tattoo's are. When Nathan who tattooed me saw all the box art he started to collect the model kits. Some are very rare and the others have been re made in the 90's. I prefer to collect the older ones for the nostalgic deal and the fact the where made in 1964 but the 90's ones are good to collect and when I have some spare time I like to build them. I will start posting some of my Finks and other Finks from around the globe. The story of how Ed Roth came up with Rat Fink and the other Fink monsters is quite intersting and I will save it for another post.

This is Mr Gasser, he is an original monster from 1964 and this kit he is driving a 57 Chevy. The Danbury mint did a limted run of this model as a collectors item along with Rat Fink "King of the Hemi's". I will be posting more fink monsters in the near future. I am always happy to answer questions please feel free to drop me a line. Cheers Lukefink

The Weekend!

Okay it has been frustrating! Being working on the Rod and the carbies have finally pissed me off! Was trying to tune it and sort them out. Been trying to sort them out since we first started it. Been speaking to a Barry Grant guy and couple of Holley dudes and I have come to the relisation that these carbs and manifold setup just aren't going to work. I fried the starter motor also which is F#%ked. So its time for the Supercharger and four barrel to enter the arena.

Ruby Rocket !!!!!!!

I started this build in early 2009. I went to the Goulburn swap meet to pick the donner bike only to get jerked around by the dude who sold it to me on ebay. The guy didnt even bring the right bike and tried to sell me a A50 Bezza which is not what I wanted. I started to aruge with the prick but got now where. I had the shits and walked around till I met this old dude named Victor. He heard me arguing and said he had a frame and engine for sale if I wanted it, SWEET! Got the frame and motor for a $500.00 bucks, BARGAIN! The engine cases were split and the whole motor was in peices so I was given about 15 different boxes and ice cream containers which housed the engine bits. Victor asked if I had ever put together a bottom end before I said "No first time." So he offered his help and after giving it a clean and checking all the bushes and bearings we put the bottom end back together. Once the bottom end was together I welded the hard tail frame to the Bezza A65 front frame and got the bike to a rolling chassis. I used a Triumph oil in frame front end that I cut down three inches. Sat the motor in and then I built the top end of the motor. Once the motor was done I got some lightining blts laser cut, the Motor is a A65 Lightining motor.

I bought some mandrill bends and made the pipes. The right side pipe was a bitch and I had to cut the pipe about thousand times and re weld it again and again.

After the bike was mocked up I had Dave "Neo Dutch" O Hanlon paint the tank and fender, he nailed it. The Ruby rocket was named after my daughter he was born during the build. Once the bike was back together I came time to fire it up. After kicking it for three hours the old girl came to life. Still to this day it is still reliable as hell and its a fun little scoot to ride. I first had grey pipes on it but then change it to the white. I could crap on it for hours the build took me just on 12 months. It was one of the best learing experinces and I am about to get stuck into a Trumpy chop. Will post pics of the build.

Cheers Lukefink
