    very cool stuff. The Japanese are certainly developing a style of their own.

    Sometimes the truth and reality hurt. Why can't people look at this stuff objectively and be HONEST.
    Example:
    didn't the Japanese own part(if not all) of the Patents for H-D in the 70's??? Then in the 80's you saw the onslaught of V-twin Japanese bikes, which ARE better built and WAY MORE reliable (i see HD broke down on the side of the road ALL summer....ha ha ha).....but I digress.....:rolleyes:

    Back to the Galaxian.....any more pics of this thing????

    Where's the windshield? What about turn signals? Third brake light? Air bags? Definitely not safe.

    Maybe it wasn't that the 'Japs' are making it better, maybe it is just a guy who digs the cars and worked his ass off to make something way cool?

    Not everything is cookie cutter Honda Civics over there, either.

    Third brake light???? Are you kiddin' me????? It's a SHOW ROD.....repeat...SHOW ROD.

    Definitely looks like it could've be built in the mid 60's, but with a higher level of DETAIL. Just look at that exhaust.

    The craftsmanship is very nice (japanese or not), I've also noticed alot of European traditional rods seem to have a handle on the traditional (look) as well, more so than some of the examples we see in the states. Hats off to both of them.

    we got all sorts of cars here as cool or way cooler than that .. the difference being that once the body is mounted to the frame and it runs under it's own power the owners consider it done. then they get offended when someone asks when they are going to finish it.

    cool. I like seeing the rods they build.
     
  20. You say that like it's a BAD THING!!!!:D
    It is a "hot rod", might as well have a reference to what it trying to pick up.

    Looks fucking killer.

    You should have told everyone it was built in SoCal, they'd be begging to suck the owner off...
     
  25. Isn't that how they are over there? What? Did i say that out loud?
     
  26. Do you have an aversion to vaginas??

    Is there an underlying reason for the name SHEEPdog??

    I like the car, doesn't matter where it's built for me.
