Phil Remington Passes
"One of the true hot rodding pioneers died last night. Phil Remington will be most remembered for his involvement with the Shelby Cobra and then GT 40 and Mark IV LeMans programs for Ford, but he started out in Santa Monica as a hot rodder running the Lakes before and after WWII with his cool modified. Burton, Michigan’s Dan Webb recently replicated that car. Carroll Shelby more than once said there would be no Cobra without Rem. Most of his 92 years were spent in racing, with stints running Lance Reventlow’s Scarab program in the late-50s, as well as working five days a week until very recently at Dan Gurney’s All American Racers in Santa Ana. He’s been there for over 30 years. HOT ROD was fortunate enough to get an interview with him that will be running in the June issue. He was one of the most humble people you could meet; yet one of the most accomplished—and he maintained a great backyard garden, too. His daughter Kati, and two grandsons survive him."

Great loss to be sure.....
Truly a great loss. That guy could fab anything, had the most skilled hands and was the finest craftsman. Truly a great loss. My sincere condolences to his family.
