Others include Goodguys Early Truck of the Year Finalist (2006),<br \/>\nMOTHERS SEMA Excellence Choice Award (2006) and, at the Grand National Roadster Show, Best<br \/>\nEngine in the, AMBR Class (2008). Robbie has had 3 invitations to Blackie&#8217;s Fresno Autorama and won<br \/>\nnumerous Best of Show Awards. Pacific Coast Customs projects have been lucky to land on 3 covers<br \/>\nof national publications and have been featured in over 10 national magazines.<\/p>\n<p>The hard working and artistic Robbie Azevedo is on his way to accomplish all of his childhood dreams.<br \/>\nHe grew up in a car family and was exposed to cars and car shows from an early age. A graduate<br \/>\nfrom the Napa High School class of \u201802, Robbie walked across the stage with high honors and a 4.0<br \/>\ngpa. He won outstanding art awards and was the president of his high school\u2019s car club, Rods and<br \/>\nRoadsters, for two years. He raced on team Sears Point for one year and won the quarter finals at<br \/>\nthe Summit ET Series drag racing nationals.<\/p>\n<p>After high school, many expected Robbie to attend college and be a doctor or lawyer, he opted to<br \/>\nfollow his dreams. \u201cI want to wake up every morning and have a desire to do what i love,\u201d is what he<br \/>\nalways said, and fabricating on cars is just that. He worked at his parents business, Pacific Auto<br \/>\nSalvage Inc, during school and after graduating, but knew he still wanted to be a fabricator and<br \/>\nactually build cars. He lived in Colorado and worked in the industry for awhile until realizing he had all<br \/>\nthe talents to do it on his own. With that, he decided at age 19, he was going to open his own street<br \/>\nrod shop in Northern CA. In December 2003, Pacific Coast Customs opened in American Canyon.<\/p>\n<p>The 7 year old shop has gained great popularity and had much success. His big imagination and very<br \/>\ntalented crew are a winning combination that produces superb builds. They strive for quality and<br \/>\nattention to detail, as well as trend-setting creativity. He runs the shop with old fashioned business<br \/>\nethics and customer service. Hoping to leave an impact in the custom car world, and many years<br \/>\nahead in which to do it, you can be sure that you will see amazing work coming out of his shop in the<br \/>\nfuture! With the shop filling up more every day, the true \u201cyoung gun,\u201d is living his dream.<\/p>\n<p>Come see Robbie at the show with his Sam Barris award winning Project Impression, his personal<br \/>\nAMBR contender, Pacific Coast Special and an in progress 2008 GMC Denali named O.E.M. Terror!<br \/>\nThe Sacramento Autorama recognizes Azevedo and his entire staff for the hard work and creativity<br \/>\nthat furthers the hot rod hobby. We, and the rest of the hot rod industry, look forward to many more<br \/>\nmemorable builds from this promising 26 year-old.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.2 --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myrideisme.com%2FBlog%2F2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=2011+Sacramento+Autorama+Builder+of+the+Year\" class=\"pin-it-button\" count-layout=\"none\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/PinExt.png\" title=\"Pin It\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button_count\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year\/\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year\/\" data-via=\"myrideisme\" data-text=\"2011 Sacramento Autorama Builder of the Year\"><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year\/\"><\/div><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=2011 Sacramento Autorama Builder of the Year&amp;body=https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/icons_small\/email.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Email\" title=\"Email\"\/><span class=\"mr_small_icon\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/2011-sacramento-autorama-builder-of-the-year\/\" data-text=\"2011 Sacramento Autorama Builder of the Year\" data-desc=\"26 Year Old Robbie Azevedo from Pacific Coast Customs Pacific Coast Customs built 1948 Chevy Panel truck (or at least it was) called \"Impression\" MyRideisMe.com picked up this press release from the kind folks at RodShows.com: The 61st Annual Kragen O\u2019Reilly Sacramento Autorama, happening February\" data-image=\"\" data-button=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/images\/social_share_button.png\" alt=\"Share\" class=\"linksalpha_image\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/scripts\/loader_iconbox.js?v=2.4\"><\/script><\/span><\/div><p>Email 26 Year Old Robbie Azevedo from Pacific Coast Customs Pacific Coast Customs built 1948 Chevy Panel truck (or at least it was) called &#8220;Impression&#8221; MyRideisMe.com picked up this press release from the kind folks at RodShows.com: The 61st Annual Kragen O\u2019Reilly Sacramento Autorama, happening February 11-13, 2011, is proud to announce \u201cyoung gun,\u201d Robbie [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[378],"tags":[1439,88,2523,2596],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14510"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14510"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22287,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14510\/revisions\/22287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
