Sunday December 7, 2008 at Pacifico YOKOHAMA
|
 |
It was the 17th
Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show. In 2008, crude oil prices
fluctuated and we thought it would have an effect on the number
cars and bikes being entered. Although it was a difficult
year for everyone, entrants from within Japan as well as guests
from abroad, not to mention the vendors, motorcycles, pinstripe
gathering attendees from USA, Switzerland, Germany and many
other countries all together at Pacifico Yokohama. From the
start, with the gates opening at 9:00AM, and lasting the entire
day, enthusiasm was in the air. The highlights of this year's
Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show were driven in to their display
positions immediately after the gates opened. Below, in the
order of the time schedule, are introductions of each attraction. |

| First, the
guests from abroad rode in. Leading the way was Beatniks
member James Hetfield's Rick Dore built 1953 Buick Skylark,
"Skyscraper" with a Hi-Tech sounding motor and smooth
body. Many of the Beatniks members were there together
as well. |
|
| So-Cal
Speed Shop's Jimmy Shine built, Todd Haas owned 1957
Chevy Gasser. This car performed a nice burnout in
front of the gate! |
|
| Following
the two cars were motorcycles from 4Q Conditioning,
Max Schaaf and Jasin Phares. Bringing a personal touch
of their own, they made a display for the two bikes. |

Tom Foster
When the promo reel DVD was first being made they
had a difficult time keeping up with the speed of
Tom Foster's bike. Coming into the show, he displayed
some of that speed. |

| With gold
leafing on the tank and fender, a long vertical twisted
sissy bar and various touches made this an impressive
HD. |
