The House That Dean Built
Since the 60's Mooneyes has resided in Sante Fe Springs building cars for dry lake hot rodding to drag racing and has made it's iconic cartoon eyes one of the most recognizable logos. It represents many aspects for car enthusiasts alike and is backed by a strong racing history and quality service. When you're a car enthusiast, you're never satisfied with just one genre - you love a variety of them. Mooneyes has built a community for people to congregate and share their love for all types of cars and motorcycles. Every year they hold an open house event for customers, families, and friends of all ages.
After my long tour outside of the shop, I finally made my way into the speed shop where I was greeted with a big pair of eyes painted on the shop driveway. You also can't miss their signature bright yellow building which got some fresh paint lettering from in-house pinstriper, Hiro "Wildman" Ishii. Born Free 8 bike builder, Kiyo from Kiyo's Garage, brought out his most recent builds and show winner, the great green Gekko as well. He woke everyone up at the show when he opened up the throttle on the CB1620. Beautiful piece of art to say the least and I was lucky enough to see it in action at El Mirage which I will be posting soon so stay tuned!
