Overfenders and excessive camber are totally played out by now, but alas I am very, very outdated. My phone is 7 years old*. *Probably.
This handsome dark and brooding figure is a ’69 Mustang Boss 302 that’s been hit with the Shakotan stick. A clean and low stance coupled with an outboard hi pass oil cooler suggest one might want to think twice before messing with The Boss. I hope you enjoy!
The term shakotan has become a household phrase in the world of Japanese classic car enthusiasts. This 510 embraces this philosophy.
Yet despite its importance to the history of Japanese sports cars, the Datsun Fairlady Roadster is not a model you often see involved with this movement. That’s why I was very surprised to find this little 2000 Roadster parked amongst a group of two and four-wheeled kyusha during a gathering at Fuji Speedway earlier this year. With its …

The main idea of the project was to create a modular, transformable object with a simple structure, made of local materials. The priority was to fit the building into the character of Shakotan, which is a small fishing village living in harmony with the rhythms of nature and cyclical festivals.
As car lovers, we’re all united by our shared automotive passion. Yet naturally, each of us still have our own preferred car style, car make or particular automotive scene that we’re more inclined to take an interest in. Perhaps you’re really into Subarus or cars built purely for drifting, or maybe you’ve been crazy about hot rods …
This square body GMC C10 truck belongs to Hiroyuki Mitamura of Team Free’s – a Kanto area drift crew that features some of the most radically-styled street cars anywhere in Japan. But when Mitamura-san is not out there drifting his S13 Silvia, he can be found rolling around Tokyo in his GMC daily driver. While …
My Shakotan inspired Boss 302. I did a Concept similar way back, probably 4 years ago now, so it was fun to do something similar in 3D.
Japanese Nostalgic Car
Sitting in the main show hall was this Volvo 123GT, or Amazon depending on where you live. It was clean, slick and dropped with as much aggression as you would want on a car of this vintage and origin. The BRG (British Racing Green) exterior was the first contrast; a color one would usually expect to …
Some of Japan’s coolest cars can be found in the most unexpected of places. Case in point, Hello Special’s Works-style Datsun S30. Welcome to Japanese inaka. That’s the term used to refer to countryside – rural Japan if you will. Away from the hustle and bustle of crammed Japanese cities, the countryside offers up a …
A couple of years ago, I shared a story about an epic Datsun 510 resto-mod project that was literally resurrected from its death bed. If you haven’t had the chance to read up on it, I’d strongly encourage you to take a few short moments to do that, so that you not only know about …
While I consider myself to be an open-minded fan of countless forms of automobiles, there are a few car related subcultures which have especially fascinated me. One of these is the one that revolves around customizing Japanese sedans from the 1970s and 80s. It's hard for me to put my finger on it, but there's just something special about these Laurels, Cedrics, Crowns, Mark IIs, and other lowdown cruisers from the Showa Era.
