Car Warriors Camaros Bonus Photos

Awesome airbrushing by Robert with characters from memory!

The premier episode of Car Warriors on Speed aired February 24th after the Daytona Truck race. The 48 hour build fest lived up to it's name as two teams fought to win.  The winning team was Inland Empire Auto Body led by our own Brad Fanshaw as Lead Technician.  Here is the Camaro that won and to see more photos visit bonspeed Brad Fanshaw on facebook and LIKE him too.

Digital gauges, custom center console and complete.

The Inland Empire team won the Engine Challenge to begin and then styled this custom interior to highlight the exterior and motor compartment.

Fabricated bumpers, traction bars and plenty of power.

The car flew at the track and burned a ton of rubber thanks to the tri-power 450hp small block motor.

The fabricated traction bars that Brad had the team make really got that power to the pavement.

Brad Fanshaw (bonspeed President) and Jimmy Shine watch competitors.

Car Warriors returns to SPEED tonight (February 24, 2012) with a premier episode immediately following the Daytona Truck Race. The show in its second season has been revamped to add more exciting builds and a trio of hosts that have car-building credibility.

Brad Fanshaw, the President of bonspeed Wheels and bonspeed "A California Speed & Design Studio" is now the Lead Technical Co-Host along with Ray McClelland.  Jimmy Shine the only remaining member of the first season is the Host/Judge.

Mooneyes Celebrates 60 Years as Eye-con With Exhibit at NHRA Museum

We were lucky enough to be invited to the opening of the Mooneyes exhibit at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California. The exhibit opened on January 27, 2012. With a room full of industry honchos and a handful of the guys that made hot rodding, Bonneville and drag racing what it is today, it was quite the event. 

A few notables in the crowd were; Ed Iskenderian, Jim Dunn and Pete Chaporis. Brad Fanshaw's cast mate from Car Warrior's 2, Jimmy Shine was also in attendance.

It should be noted, without the Mooneyes owner; Shige Suganuma and the President, Chico Kodama's aquisition of Moon in the early 1990's it may no longer exist.

The display at the NHRA Museum is an retrospective of Dean Moon's legacy. It is complete with race cars, motorcycles and memorabilia. The cars on display include the Moon streamliner, the Moon dragster and much more.

In 1996 bonspeed (Then Bonneville Sports) was loaned the Moon streamliner for a photo shoot at the dry lakes. The car was photographed for our clothing and garage gear catalog. Modified with the Bonneville trademark Orange color and our Circle "B" logo many thought we had built a sister car. Other called thinking we had painted the famous Moon racer.

The Mooneyes dragster sits among other racers at the NHRA Museum.  The exhibit is open now and until Fall of 2012 at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, 1101 W. McKinley Ave, Building 3A, Pomona, California, 91768

bonspeed Brad Fanshaw with the two guys who have kept the legacy of Dean Moon and the Mooneyes brand alive.  Brad has been friends with them since the time they purchased Mooneyes in the early 1990's.

The Mooneyes exhibit is worth the trip to Pomona and reliving the history of Dean Moon and what he did for hot rodding and racing is amazing.
