I agree, Phil could build a hot rod from the ground up using junk yard parts.  Chic Ronan's R-2 Vega, found on page 154 of 3Wide's 70s section, was re-skinned with a 37 Ford coupe and was ultimately wrecked by yours truly.  Although not from the ground up, Phil rebuilt the former Ronan "R-2" coupe into the R-2 Falcon found on page 152 in 3Wide's 70s section.  Phil rebuilt the chassis from the firewall forward, redesigned the rear suspension, and replaced the 37 Ford coupe with a narrowed Falcon body.  I think Phil did a tremendous job.  Scott Ely
