Thank you guys. The kind words are very much appreciated. It was a strange weekend as I have not missed a show since its inception and had a car here most every year but one if I recall. This being the last show bringing one of our restorations was rather bittersweet and definitely felt a little overwhelming with emotions. Its been a great ride and must say this car was certainly one of the highest honors I could be bestowed as a last restoration. Phil is such a humble and down to earth person and the car did very well. I had to leave early due to family matters but was told by someone at the awards ceremony that Phil's Chevelle received the 2023 Platinum Pick Judges Choice award for best stock Chevrolet. If true that is the second year in a row for us and I could not be happier to end my career with such an honor. I have met some outstanding friends over the years due to these restorations and shows and that I will remember more than anything else. Thanks to all. After 44 years of restoring cars, its time to go fishing!
