I live about 15 minutes away from where the old Custom Body shop was. As a kid, they had booked in FC shows at Utica rome speedway...a 1/8 mile dragstrip in central NY. Phil would be at every show with his Custom Body Mini Charger. This car as well as the others that followed were always well turned out, gorgeous race cars. Its sad to read of his passing..... my first whiffs of nitro, sound of a fuel motor were at these shows. Phil and his beautiful cars were a big part of that. Godspeed Phil, thank you for giving me wonderful memories.
