ArtifactWorkbench, Used by Phil Remington
Phil Remington was one of racing's greatest fabricators and metalworkers. He was Carroll Shelby's chief engineer during Ford's Le Mans program in the 1960s. Remington joined Dan Gurney's All American Racers, where he used this workbench, in 1969. "Rem" spent the next 44 years with Gurney, developing race cars and motorcycles -- and putting in a full day's work into his 90s.
