Get to MOONEYES HRCS with Gearheadz
Held at the Pacifico Exhibition Centre in Yokohama on the first Sunday in December, MOONEYES HRCS presents around 800 custom cars and bikes, with everything from bombs, lowriders, JDM and mini trucks to brats, bobbers, sports customs and old school choppers, all with one thing in common -a standard of craftsmanship and attention to design and detail that will make your eyes water.
This year’s 26th MOONEYES HRCS will feature the El Camino (1959 through 1987) and Traditional Choppers, while the Custom Paint comp will feature aircleaners.
MOONEYES isn’t just about cars and bikes, though. There are some killer bands and an incredible lineup of lowbrow artists and artisans from across the globe, while stripers will be pulling lines on everything from helmets to cameras - Ken the Flat Top can usually be seen pinstriping one of his lovely models.
You will see scores of vendor stands, too, selling clothing, custom parts and leather work; Hell, you can even buy a brand new Knuckle Head engine there!
If you have ever wanted to catch up with some of the elder statesmen of the custom scene (Gene Winfield, John d’Agostino, Chopper Dave, Pete Chapouris, Indian Larry, Kutty Noteboom and Cole Foster are amongst past attendees), well MOONEYES is the place to do it.
As a wise man once said, “Do yourself a favour”. Don't just dream about it, take the plunge and get along to MOONEYES HRCS this year.
