Northwest's Newest! Amocat Speed Emporium Open House Party

There goes the neighborhood! Haha Just kidding Steve and Dale. Best of luck with the new shop. Sorely needed in the Puget Sound area. Wish I could have made it, but I was outta town this weekend. Question for ya, you didn't mention any services, just parts and stuff. Are you planning on offering any services?
Again, best of luck with the shop!

 

thanks to steve and dale and all the other that helped put this together. i met alot of new folks, and had a great time. maybe too good of a time as i ended up sleeping in my 31.......

 

Holy ****! I'm wearing my new shirt today and looked myself at the mirror a second ago... I must say your new shop's name makes a lot more sense now!

 

Yeah, thanks guys for a great party. Shop looks great, I wish you guys well.

Met several HAMBers, as well as many great hot rodders.

Right across the street from the Chapel no less !

Some more pix:

 

Steve and Dale, thank you very much for the party. This was truly the iceing on the cake on this great weeekend. I truly enjoy coming down and partying with all you americans. See you all at hotrodarama

 

Dale & Steve, Thanks for havin' us kanucks over for a great evening, the shop looks killer, the ribs were the best, and the scenery was great. Cars were fricken kool too. See you guys in a couple of weeks .Thanks again--Dave.

 

Steve,Dale & to everyone else involved in hosting the coolest gathering of hot rods & people - I would like to thank all of you once again for your outstanding hospitality. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in a few weeks at the Rama. Cheers Laurie

 

Steve, Dale and everyone else involved I would also like to thank you for a great Hot Rod BBQ. Here are a few more pics.

 

Good pics everybody, any more inside shots?

 

Looks like a great time!

Was the Lucas connection ever proven/disproved on that yeller coupe?

 

let's just say it was neither confirmed nor was it denied

Steve can tell the story better
but it was in the right place at the right time
and it sure has the look

 

Not sure just yet. The last car show it attended was at the Hunters Point Armory in S.F. in 1962. That's where Lucas is from. Sent Photos down to his studio, we will see. Problem is the car was not yellow when it was at that show in "62". Everything else was the same but the color. It was painted yellw in 68/69. Still way before the movie ever came out. Looks alot like the car in the movie! I have photos of the car in the early years. They will be all on a board at the Hotrodarama. Thanks again everybody for the great coments.

 

Huge thanks to Dale, Steve and all the others that helped put on the open house. Great food, drinks, Rods and the best people!

All I can say is we had a blast.....even is Dales hand prints are all over my chicks ***!

From all of us....Thanks and see you in a few weeks.

 

Another BIG THANKS To Dale & Steve for the invite - Food - Beer - Fun. Had a great time.
Lots of cool cars and Rodders alike. I wish You Guy's the best of luck.

Wow, looks like Steve and Cory and Izabella had quite a turnout at their party the other night, would liked to have been there with the new front engined fueler that Steve is a part of, clutch dust, nitro headaches, piston burning and the whole enchilada. Will be up there asap to look this deal over and make some noise. John and Judee Shoemaker

 

Are you saying this car was inspiration for the A.G. Coupe? Because the grill, front suspension, tail lights, exhaust, etc. are certainly not the real deal.
There were probably a few cars that inspired Lucas in the Valley at the time he was growing up though-maybe this one. In any event, it's a cool find.

 

Geoff, Hey man, I never touched her. She did call me tonight though. We are hooking up this weekend. You ok with that ? Just thought I'd ask. I so hope you know I was just kidding around with the both of you this weekend.Was fun teasing you two little love monkeys. Had a blast hanging out with you guys. Great group of foreigners from up north. Will definetly be looking forward the the HOTROD-A-RAMA in a couple of weeks.Thanks for all the positive comments. The credit goes to Steve though. Was a great night for sure.

 

Just saying possibly inspiration! I grew up in the Central Valley. Fresno to be exact. Like I said the last car show that it attended was in San Francisco in 62. It looked just the way it does today except for the ****up gas door and the tires. Looks very close. It is hard to believe that there would be an exact car like the A.G. coupe from that period. I grew up going to car shows as a kid in the Valley. From Bakersfield to Redding. There were lots of cars built similar. Old and new. This is why I sent the photos down there to thier studio. Not photos just taken, but the photos that the orig owner sent to me.

 

Man it looks like I missed a killer party again. Damn the bad luck. I can't wait to get home. Well I got to go back to watch.

Kidding? I don't think so....she called your name out last night,...but then again she was taking a dump :-o
Hahaha! Just kidding buddy.
Thanks again for the invite to the BBQ. I'm looking forward to Hot Rod A Rama in a big way.
Geoff.

 

Cool! Definetly inspiration. Even if Lucas is not familiar with the car, the shop that built the A.G. coupe probably is (the shop name escapes me now, but you might know). Might try getting in touch with them too. Even if there were similar cars around at the time, can't be too many cars just like this one in the valley at the time.

 

Yeah, I was there; just thought it was the wrong party - figured that this wasn't for a business with all the houses on the street.

Well, best o' luck with shop!

Thank you for the invite and for puttin' on the awesome party. It was a treat! The food was awesome, the girls were more awesome and the cars were superb. The shop is really cool - if any of you are in the area and haven't seen it - make a point to, you won't be dissapointed! Thanks again - it was fun!! Tim

 

Your welcome from both Steve and I, Your car is the ***s man. Gonna be cool to have it at the show. Thanks for the kind words.
