Has anyone made anything like this?  I'm thinking a golden strong ale but with american yeast and maybe a touch more on the hops side than one might normally expect.  probably around 1.070ish with a low FG.

Unless I am reading you wrong it sounds like you are after something like a DIPA thats hopped like a pale ale?

I'm planning on sugar in this batch for sure.  maybe a mix of pils and 2-row for the base.

I have, on 1/5/2013, according to notes.  Used honey to bulk up the OG.  We had a thread on the subject, but it's probably lost in the archives.  10lbs pale 2-row, 1lb wheat, 3lbs sourwood honey (before the price went through the roof).  1 oz centennial/2 oz Palisade first wort hops; .5 ounces each of cascade, simcoe and amarillo for 5 minutes.  .5 simcoe and .5 amarillo dry hopped.  OG 1.070, finished at 1.004.  WLP530 yeast.  Bottled in 750ml snap cap bottles and aged 12 months.  Respectable beverage.

sounds pretty good but I think I'll be using US-05 or similar.  I'm not actually looking for any Belgian character. :blush:

WLP530 has minimal fruitiness or any of the typical Belgian yeast esters.  I chose it for its alcohol tolerance.

No, 530.  Abbey Ale, alcohol tolerance (claimed) to 15%, fairly clean and let the sourwood honey breathe.
