Hi Guys will be in Phoenix, Arizona for work later on next week - Hot Rod shops worth visiting or maybe events ? I will be there over the weekend of the 15th June and also a few days following. I have Hot Rods by Dean on my list but any others that are secret gems ? I am visiting from Australia so would really like some "inside information" Thanks All
Hot rods by Dean is good and so is hot rod connection, it’s been a few years. Also you might want to checkout the war bird museum (ww2 airplanes) in mesa not hot rod related but very cool.
Yes Chip Quinn would be a good person to get ahold of to get the Phoenix back stage Hot Rod Insiders low down. There is/was huge cruise night in Scottsdale So Cal Speed Shop/Vintage parts Az Desert Valley Auto Parts (vintage wrecking yard)
Everyone will be at the LA Roadster Show that weekend. There is a large crusie night in Scottsdale at 101 and Indianbend Rd. Scottsdale privilions. There is also a free race car museum at the Penske Ferrari dealer at 101 and Scottsdale Road.
The Scottsdale cruise night is good if you can catch it, although I'm not sure how big it is this time of year. Definitely check out So-Cal Speed Shop. They have some merch you can only get in the store that's AZ specific.
So-Cal does not exist anymore here in Arizona; they went back to their original name. Here is a link. https://vintagepartsofarizona.com/about-us/
It's been a few years since I've been to Phoenix, I didn't know that! Looks like it's still a good stop.
