Event Coverage Mooneyes, Yokohama Hot Rod and Custom Show 2011

These may be just "slightly" off topic, but pretty cool none the less.

 

Great pics

 

Way cool! nice to see some American hot rodding going on around the world

 

Thanks for the pictures.....supposed to be one of the Aussies there but had to bail due to my own business stealing my money.....d'oh.

They have the best cars there....

 

Excellent!

 

Thanks for posting all the pictures. I can't imagine the time that went into some of those paints jobs.

 

Who is the painter of those lowriders? I thought I saw a book of his work online some where but I don't remember where.

 

It is?! That thing looks great! Nice to see it done.

Found it.

 

From what I've been told, is that the guy that does those crazy paint jobs is down in Nagoya and it's pretty much a one-man operation. He doesn't even have a spray booth and does it out of his garage! He also doesn't seem to want to be interviewed or featured himself much either. Just a good old fashioned craftsman that loves what he does.

Been trying to post more pics, but my Photobucket account is acting weird. Having problems uploading. Will post more when I can.

 

This '64 Dodge Dart is crazy.









Let's not forget...Ramen!

 

Yeah, I've really noticed that in the motorcycle community. Their take on the classic American style is now influencing a lot of folks back on this side of the pond.
By the way, I'm impressed with the quality of pics from your phone.

 

Ramen!

thanks for the pictures.

Absolutely fkn magic Jason. Hope you covered all the 49-54's.

Thank you very much (hello to Tracey)
Rod

 

Kooler than Jesus ! thanks for the Shots.

 

I think it's really healthy when influences give and take like that. Better for ALL of us. And yes, I was surprised how well my iPhone did. I was just too lazy to carry around my bigger camera.

Funny, didn't catch that, but yeah they totally look like Cadi fins!

 

Sorry, no more of that one. It's painted by Winfield.

Good seeing you over there too Juan and glad to see you made it out alive. Get some sleep! By the way, how the hell did you get that overhead shot? Freakin cool.

You have to make it over there to see it for yourself Rod. You'd dig it. Do I call you "Pops" now?

 

Now for a couple truly off topic cars, just for fun...

 

Beautiful and subtle headlight bezel treatment. Almost missed it!



There were quite a few really cool frenched antenna's too. One of those detail things that can make a car stand out.
