I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. They came back to the foot in Mt. Fuji this year. Dig This! http://www.deucecoupe.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.cgi?set_albumName=album01&page=1 Slide Show http://www.deucecoupe.net/modules/xoopsgallery/slideshow.php?set_albumName=album01
Thanks for the photos. I expected to see the cars shrouded in heavy fog, but it looks like the weather was nice this year.
Great post!! This is one of my favorite days of the year. Wahoo!! I get to see show coverage from custom hill. Thanks for posting the pictures. Happy Trails, Mick
So, are most of these cars built in Japan? ...........or bought somewhere else and shipped to Japan as is? There is definetly some cool shit over there.
Thanks for the photos. Some very nice customs over there....here are a couple from your collection that caught my eye. Bryan
What is wrong whit this picture? Car does not leave any kind of shadow.. It just looks unreall.. -Olli
That's because it's photo chopped in that background. So when is this show? My business takes me to Japan a couple times a year. It would be cool if I could coordinate it with this show.
I think no, I do know thing or two of photochopping... I looked album again there is lot's of photos whit this effect... I think photographer is using some weird flash. Like this photo: -Olli
Sweet! This is always an impressive show. More so this year with the amount of cars. Owning an old American car is so difficult in Japan. I'm surprised to see such a great turn out. Some great cars in the pics!
Thank you for everybody. Many of these amazing rods and kustoms were built in Japan. We respect your car cultures.
This is one of the only chevys from this era that I really like the chop on. Great lines! Thanks for sharing. GV
Mal-san, Domo Oregato for the cool picks at Custom Hill, great cars and great guys in the Japan car scene. I saw my friends old car in the pictures, the '36 Ford build by Junichi at Paradise Road. I travel to Japan a lot and love the car shows. Yokohama indoor car show coming up this month. Sayonara Cruiser 49
Comet, Custom Hill is always in October, this year its on Sunday October 22nd at Oonoji Camping Area Susono City, Sizuoka. Sizuoka is south west from from Tokyo on the Suruga Bay. This month there's the big indoor show in Yokohama, call Mooneyes for the dates they sponsor it. Look at this site for from Japan http://side-b.jp/afrostyle/ pass shows will come up at this site.

Flipper, The gap between cars build in Japan and those that are imported is narrowing. All the cars used to come from the USA. Its most likely a 60/40 split at this time, think about this there are 22 hot rod/custom shops in Nagoya, Japan alone. The craftsmanship at the top shops is fantastic. Some of the best rides come from Paradise Road in Nagoya, Japan. Checkout this site htt://swide-b.jp/afrostyle/ Take a look at this site www.paradiseroad.net/ Be Cool Cruiser 49
