Moons over my hammy....

In the 1940's, there was a teenager by the name of Dean Moon who grew up in Southern California. His passion was all things cars and racing. His parents owned a small cafe in Santa Fe Springs, Ca. called "Moon Cafe", where in the back was a small garage that actually birthed, to what is arguably, the most famous company in all of hot-rodding. If you consider yourself a car person and don't, at least, recognize the infamous Moon logo-- you should go back, do some history research, and reconsider your standing as a "car guy." Once the company had been established, soon after Moon was bought up by a very smart japanese businessman (i have his name and info here somewhere). Today, you can find various Moon locations throughout Japan, along with the original Mooneyes location in Santa Fe Springs, Ca. still intact-- and even a Moon Cafe (in Japan), similar to the original version that Dean Moon's parents owned. Beyond all things kustom for your car, their apparel line is one of the finest out there. The quality of cotton on their shirts are amazing (rather than the typical Triple A bs found in "streetwear") and the graphic quality is amazing.
