\r\nThe time for making MOONEYES Annual Catalog has came. But it was already little late to start, and I was looking through old pictures again and found a picture taken by my friend in 1976 at California<\/a>. The CAT baseball cap, Bell Racing jacket, phone and chair are so 70s'. The picture on wall is Chico's 1970 Chevelle SS and his friend called Oyabun's 1970 Duster 340. It was taken at Chico's house in Costa Mesa and I visited this house so many times. I think this picture was taken at in front of Chico's Parents house. That was little update about my friend in USA but there is more about this picture.

\r\nBack then in Japan I had a 1960 Thunderbird which was on the verge of falling apart and I was looking for source of ideas to make it in to a Hot Rod at book stores like \"Shimada Import Books\" in Aoyoama Tokyo, \"IENA Book Store\" in Ginza and \"Kiddy Land\" in Harajuku, both were in Tokyo where they had imported magazines from USA such as Hot Rod Magazine, Hot Rodding and Car Craft which I flipped through and purchased only the one I liked. Hot Rod Magazine was about 750yen ($7.50) back then. The price hasn't change much but hourly-wage was low as 250yen per hour($2.50) and I couldn\u2019t purchase them easily then.

\r\nAnd since not many people tried to make a Hot Rod out of such Thunderbird in USA, there was hardly any Thunderbird on those magazines. The 1960 Thunderbird was not suitable for Hot Rod but it was the only American car I could buy and I had no choice but making Hot Rod out of this car.

\r\nThen one day, I finally found Thunderbird on magazine, It was a picture of same style Thunderbird but a 1959 model<\/a> on readers column of Hot Rod Magazine 1975 May issue<\/a>. The picture was a small black & white one but that was enough to make me purchase this magazine. After while when I was looking at magazine, below the picture of Thunderbird I found picture of two Hot Rods with two Japanese names Chico Kodama, Koichi Kurosawa<\/a>. I had no idea who they were then and just thought that it was amazing to be on magazine. Oh! Japanese!! But when my friend sent this picture a year later, I was amazed to find the same two cars from the magazine. How can this be possible? I was so amazed.

\r\nThere was some strange co incidence but this magazine was the key for me, I went to California in 1977 and visited my friend to purchase parts for Thunderbird and met Chico and Oyabun through him and this magazine lead me to go to California in 1978. This Hot Rod Magazine went to California with me in 1978, spent Three and a half years and returned to Japan from USA with me. I don\u2019t know why but I took all my American Hot Rods Magazine purchased in Japan to USA(I only had few back then, though).

that?<\/font>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u30ab\u30bf\u30ed\u30b0\u3092\u4f5c\u308b\u6642\u671f\u304c\u6765\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3068\u8a00\u3063\u3066\u3082\u9045\u3044\u304f\u3089\u3044\u3067\u3059\u304c\u3001\u305d\u3093\u306a\u4e8b\u3082\u3042\u308a\u53e4\u3044\u5199\u771f\u3092\u3042\u3055\u3063\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3089\u30011974\u5e74\u306bCalifornia\u306b\u884c\u3063\u305f\u53cb\u4eba\u304c1976\u5e74\u306b\u9001\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u5199\u771f\u304c\u51fa\u3066\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002CAT\u306e\u5e3d\u5b50\u3001Bell\u306eJacket\u3001\u96fb\u8a71\u6a5f\u3001\u305d\u3057\u3066\u6905\u5b50\u304c70\u5e74\u4ee3\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u306d\uff01

The time for making MOONEYES Annual Catalog has came. But it was already little late to start, and I was looking through old pictures again and found a picture taken by my friend in 1976 at California. The CAT baseball cap, Bell Racing jacket, phone and chair are so 70s'. The picture on wall is Chico's 1970 Chevelle SS and his friend called Oyabun's 1970 Duster 340. It was taken at Chico's house in Costa Mesa and I visited this house so many times. I think this picture was taken at in front of Chico's Parents house. That was little update about my friend in USA but there is more about this picture. Back then in Japan I had a 1960 Thunderbird which was on the verge of falling apart and I was looking for source of ideas to make it in to a Hot Rod at book stores like \"Shimada Import Books\" in Aoyoama Tokyo, \"IENA Book Store\" in Ginza and \"Kiddy Land\" in Harajuku, both were in Tokyo where they had imported magazines from USA such as Hot Rod Magazine, Hot Rodding and Car Craft which I flipped through and purchased only the one I liked. Hot Rod Magazine was about 750yen ($7.50) back then. The price hasn't change much but hourly-wage was low as 250yen per hour($2.50) and I couldn\u2019t purchase them easily then. And since not many people tried to make a Hot Rod out of such Thunderbird in USA, there was hardly any Thunderbird on those magazines. The 1960 Thunderbird was not suitable for Hot Rod but it was the only American car I could buy and I had no choice but making Hot Rod out of this car.
