I'm Vietnamese with a 72 Camaro. I also have an old Harley ironhead frame that I am going to build into an old school bobber. I'm also planning to acquire a 69 Camaro as a daily driver. Its odd because my gf is white and she hates the fact that I like these "redneck" machines :) My current running stable is a 350z, Honda pilot, 07 Yamaha r6 and a 06 Honda cbr1000rr.

This TV 'Superman', aka Dean Cain, was born Dean George Tanaka.

I think with a little nudge he would see the wisdom of owning a PT car. The guy is obviously into speed and handling.

:lol:

It doesn't matter if you're purple or pink, it's all about the enviroment you grew up with.

For those that don't know, that dude is a stud. At one time - possibly still does - he owned the NCAAA single season record for picks. Defensive back playing back east. I played against him in many a tournament...almost unstoppable. I would almost bet he's got a car or two in his stable....:thumbsup:

I feel like I'm the only Asian American redneck that's into Harleys and classic muscle cars.

Larry,

I just saw your post...I'm Japanese and I'm into Pro Touring and Old School Muscle. I live a few miles inland from Monterey. I drive a Stielow built 69 Camaro called Tri Tip that made it's first debut back in '93. I hope color or Ethnicity doesnt hold you back....I've met some really cool people from all walks of life through this hobby.

I hope to run into you soon.:cheers:

Jeff ( Jeff-San )

Jeff, with 8 posts in 7 years as a member... you need to pick up the pace buddy! :lol:

Let's see some recent pics of that Tri Tip! :thumbsup:

I dont know how to post pictures, that's where it usually stops for me. I get the most out of learning from the cars on the site. I live really close to Dave and Mary Pozzi and they are a wealth of knowledge and help if and when I get stuck on something. My car is a Dinosaur compared to what's being built these days...DSE actually went through the car while they were still in Michigan. We resisted the temptation of changing too much from Mark's original build. It has to be one of the first Pro Touring cars ever built and it still makes me smile everytime I take it out to stretch it's legs.

I need to make more time to drive it

Jeff,
