Motion Pictures Video of The Galaxian on the road in Japan

Junichi Shimodaira of Paradise Road in Nagoya sent me this vid and just wanted to share.

Toshi from Local Hero shot the video and Junichi built (and drives!!!) The Galaxian Show Rod.

That is fuckin' cool. Thanks.-MIKE

 

that's waaaaay coool !

 

Nice, thanks for posting the link. Very cool A too.

 

Right on!!!

 

Out-friggin-standing, love seeing hot rods on the road in Japan. Gret footage, both cars sounded great. I had about ten years of exporting vintage clothes to my wonderful Japanese customers, sweetheart folks to do business with. Three of those folks are lucky enough to own hot rods there. Thanx for sharing this rare footage. ~sololobo~

 

Kakkoii!

 

way cool video thanks for posting it

 

Holy shit is that car nice.

 

I have several friends from japan and they were showing me how the japanese car culture and motorcycle culture is pretty awesome. They even have more gangster looking lowriders then we do here stateside haha. But back to topic this video is awesome thanks for posting

 

That makes badass seem rather tame.
Very nice.

 

I dig it!

 

Thanks for posting. Would like to see more of what they drive in the way of hot rods in Japan. Thanks again.FALFA

 

Thats rad!

 

I love seeing show cars on the road anywhere.

Yes thats the stuff.

 

Glad you all enjoyed the vid. Seeing Hot Rods and Kustoms on the move is so much better than seeing them parked! Junichi builds some crazy stuff.

If you still haven't seen it, here's a photo thread that Toshi from Local Hero started.

What a trip,.... Too much fun.

 

Did he build "The Rodriquez" too?


Wow, never saw a traffic tunnel so clean.............(LOL)

 

Awesome car!! Thanks for sharing.

 

It's great to see our car culture take off in other countries...I have been to Japan a few times and it has to be a thrill for these guys to break out of the super-economy car mindset and get into a hotrod! Thanks for the video, still grinnin'...

 

Yes he did!!

 

I wanna visit that guy..

 

That paint job is wild. I like the fact he's not afraid to drive the wheels off it.

that is the coolest vid ever

 

Absolutely loved that. SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!

 

I even dig the "delinquente" song... Who sings that??

 

That was awesome. True hot rodders.

 

When he brought "The Rodriguez" over, he drove it to Paso Robles and back. The new owner only trailers it. Good to see him driving it.

 

Really cool video, and the Galaxian looks great. Thanks for posting it.
