    Hi Larry, thank you for interviewing us, please visit our workshop at Gspeed Indonesia on your next trip

    Mr. Galih and Mrs. Indi is a close friend of mine. It is really cool when you can running both business and hobbies together with your spouse.
    There is actually so much story behind Gspeed. Mr. Galih is a known fixture in Holden and V8 scene in Indon3sia since late 80s / early 90s. In fact he held some record on Jakarta's street (imagine Smokey Nagata type activity).
    He didn't actually planned to open a workshop. He built his own car after several unpleasant experience at other workshop. That car is a big block (8.2 litre iirc) powered orange Holden Monaro HT.
    What interesting is that Mr. Galih did the mechanical stuff and Mrs. Indi did the exterior and interior design. That car won a contest by Meguiar's and that car was supposed to go to SEMA, but unfortunately stuff happened and the car didn't go to SEMA.
    But thanks to that Monaro, a lot of people start asking if Mr. Galih can built their cars. True story, he give a numbers hoping that people got turn off and surprisingly they agreed!
    Mr. Galih and Mrs. Indi remained the only Indonesians to ever compete in SEMA's battle of the builders with that Ford F-1 in your video. I think they made it into top 200 and the only Asian builders to make it that far that year.
    What makes Gspeed build special is that you can used it daily. Mr. Galih in fact said his engine is a "tropical engine" that it can run on Indonesian humid weather. I'm a witness to that, I once driven by Mr. Galih in his Monaro, even traffic jam don't affect the temperatures (not to mention the acceleration!).
    Every Gspeed built after that has combination of Mr. Galih mechanical work and Mrs. Indi exterior and interior touch (she did the drawing, choosing colours and she even did the interior stitching itself).
    Another thing about Gspeed is that Mr. Galih didn't afraid to share his knowledge. He has an agreement with technical college for students to do their apprentice in his workshop. What surprised me is that he really gives a lot of knowledge and in fact he also teach work ethics. I once asked, would he be afraid that some of his pupils will be his future rival, he said he loves if they ended up creating works like him because he wants to see more builder like him in Indonesia.
    Larry, if you ever come to Indonesia again, you should indeed visit Gspeed. I can help you arrange it with them and you'll be surprised that in a small workshop, they able to made SEMA quality build (they also has a 2 special cars in the built, I think you'll love it).
    PS: In your last video you said you can't drive LHD vehicle in Indonesia. That is not true, you can drive them legally. What you can't is importing brand new LHD cars (except several cases such as diplomatic / government use). The reason why Gspeed convert their built into RHD because they encourage their customer to drive it daily.
    Also a bit of background in American cars in Indonesia. They used to rule the streets up until the 60s when Japanese cars coming and governement banned cars importation. For pickup, the popular models would be Chevrolet (AK Series, Advanced Design, Task Force and C-Series) followed by Dodge (known as Fargo, since they were sold using that export only brand) and Ford F-Series is relatively rare. They used to be dirt cheap up until 10 years ago (you can get a good but not pristine car less than 7k USD back then). But now the price has gone through the roof.

    Man, stuff like this is why I just love car culture. I couldn't imagine traveling half-way across the world to a place like Indonesia and come across someone daily driving a show quality classic American truck. Special kind of enthusiast to build stuff like this with how hard it is to get anything imported.

      Well, they do not drive that kind of car every day, but in the weekend, in some area of jakarta and it's surrounding cities you can definetly see those car rolling and being used.. 😊 i live in the neighbourhood where those kind of car will come for do their cars and coffee meets, or just even for morning weekend cruise.. 😀
      And when the pandemic strikes back then they even go out on the weekdays too..

    2:30 Sonokeling is Guitarist's favorite fretboard, can find one in Fender's or Ibanez premium models... In commercial wood it is known as Purple Rosewood, twice more expensive than usual Mahogany wood that similarly popular tone wood. If She made those expensive tone wood into violins or electric guitar, it may fetch 8k in US market easily...
