it's springtime and fancy turns to......
.....workin' on the car in the driveway (for those of us without garages) and
so this means it is the time for the annual Sneak's sermon. I have 2 words for everyone: JACK STANDS Not blocks of wood. Not cinderblocks. Good, sturdy 4-point jack stands. NEVER EVER just a jack. Please. To some this might be common sense or standard practice, but just in case it isn't...yada yada yada. Ok. With that out of the way, hi everyone, I'm back I think. I hope. Snow is gone, work still taking all my time but hopefully the '68 will get some love this spring. I actually got it on the road for 20 days in the fall, but still have tons to do. Hope all is well with everyone.... Sneaks '68 T1 |

Every day of the week. Except weekends, they are 100% garage time. Got my convertible "done" (if they ever are) and I'm now working on the bus I sold about a year ago. Got 16 work days left and about a month left of this crappy weather, then I'm all done with it. Jan |

Thanks for the reminder. I actually find myself going one further
lately. I leave the jack in place as well as the stands....just one more safety. Everyone work safe. Be safe. I am on my way to NY this week to bury my cousin who was in a boating accident this weekend in New Orleans. Remember, its not just yourself...there are many others that will be affected. It only takes one moment of inattention to take from this world something irreplaceable... |

Thank you Dennis. It all seems so damn pointless. .I'm sorry...I'm not
trying to take away from your sentiments..I appreciate them...but damnit I think I may want to go to hell. I cannot fathom a god that is righteous...that took my uncle half throught high school...that took my father 6 months from graduation.that took my cousin's husband a few short months after marriage and birth of their child. The same passionate god allowed my best friend to screw me out of a couple thousand dollars...and write off years of friendship for pennies. And now this. My cousin decided, out of the blue, last month to visit for a weekend. He came here on a moments notice. Said...he just needed a break. We sat on the shore and played guitar. It was unexpected and spontaneus. Alex never did anything like this before. We watched the boats running put to the harbor. Alex pointed them out and remarked about how good a job the concrete people had done on his backard boat ramp. He was coming back from the sand knoll saturday evening. They struck a submerged log on the river. The boat capsized. He was run over by the baot following and found the next day. If it wasn't for alex I would not have had the drive to be where I am both musically an buisness wise in life. My Aunt has lost her two brothers.....her father and mother...and now her nephew. We are running out of pallbearers.... |

Hi Jan
Good to know that you "done" your convertible. You have to show some pictures. It is a split bus? The other day my wife dreamed that we had a split bus white and yellow :-) Joćo |

Hi Jan,
It looks very good! Gothic-look? How many HP? Size and carbs? You have all that snow right now? How many windows on the bus? Joćo |
