Here is me (NQ) standing on the towbar between the Suburban
and the 67 bus I bought in Falls City, NE

This is the axle beam, steering box, and steering box clamp
out of the front of my 67 bus after sandblasting.  Notice the wooden
blocks, threaded rod, and rubber innertube sealing the ends of the
axle beam.

Here is my shop.  It's hard to see but there are assorted front end
parts hanging from a wire that runs from the bench vise on the left
to some shelving off the right side of the photo.  The wire is
supported in the middle by a string hanging from the loft.  In the
background you can see my wet/dry vac, white and purple bus door,
VW fan shouds, etc.

Just for fun, here's proof that I do work for a living.  That is me on the
boom forklift unloading a unit of lumber from a railroad car.  My
co-worker friend Jim took the shot upon my request just to have
something for the scrapbook.
 

Here is the 1776 I built to power my bus.  This photo was taken
after the heads were put on the engine.  The engine is almost
completely assembled now - I only need some idle stops for 40IDF
carbs to complete the rebuild.

My friend Shawn on the left and Ryan on the right.  They rode in
the bus while we towed it back home.  We averaged 50 mph.

My friend Brian Eppens on the left and me on the right.  This was
our little prep session of swapping tires and refilling the redux
boxes and trans getting the bus ready to tow home.  Where it sits
in the picture is where it sat for 3 years - right out in the open.
Nobody wants an old VW around here.

Inside my 67 bus after Judith Noah (the PO) cleaned it out.  Pretty
good shape for it's age.

One of my favourite shots - the shadow shot.  This is the shadow
we were casting on the way home from Falls City.  The 79 Sub
is in the lead with the towbar and bus following.  The scenery in
the background is typical rural Nebraska except where did this
hill come from? :-)

After sandblasting was complete, I painted the axle beam.  This is
a "no-pose" shot.  I told my sister to just take a picture while I was
working.  It doesn't get any more realistic than this.

Dan Kinsey's 58 Binz.  Notice the cover over the bed and the
hula girl and tach on the dash.  Look closely - yep - those are
safari windows!  This bus is cool - it's Dan's pride and joy
and will follow him to the grave. :-)

At first view, this merely looks like a photo of Dan Kinsey's shop
where he keeps his bus.  Look closely - the Puck is on the right.
However...this is taken through the fully open Safari window!
Notice the hula girl on the lower left (whited out), the rubber seal
around the edge of the picture, the bracket on the right side of the
photo and the fully open glass at the top.  Awesome photo
wouldn't you say?

Hope you enjoyed the scattered remnants of  the latest photo
shoot from NQ.
