“…and here’s your winner! With the perfect combination
of style, stance, execution, and attitude, Phillip Haley’s 1930
model a was the choice of the combined popular and staff
votes. For less than $5000, Phillip took a body that was
scattered across a Kansas salvage yard, added hard work,
some horse trading, and a keen eye and produced a creation
that stood out amongst 26 other deserving vehicles.
Phillip assembled the car entirely by himself, and rebuilt
both the 350 chevy motor and 700r4 trans. Phillip says,
“the car was entirely built by me. all 487 rivets, every weld,
every drop of paint, and every wire, all me. i did this so that if
something failed i would have no one to blame but myself.”
Phillip’s scratchbuilt frame is a combination of 2"x3" and
1½" tubing while the floor is 18 gauge steel. it rides along on a
traditional front end and coil overs on a Ford 9-inch out back.
the most expensive parts of the build were the wheels and tires,
and the three deuce intake and carbs.
Probably the most striking part of the car is the interior. the
acres of orange paint and well-sorted international truck
dash stand out from the mother nature-applied finish on the
outside. What a car! lean, clean, and mean!” – Rick Loxton

from every angle.” – Jeremy Amendola
