My Wife Is So Tough on Me!

We don't watch much tv. We listen a lot to the radio. Most of you read my intro and that Ive nicknamed my van the Magic Bus.

But she picked up on these lyrics and says thats you and your Magic Bus!

The truth hurts!

I got my mind set on you.....by George Harrison

I got my mind set on you

But it's gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
Its gonne take plenty of money
To do it right child

Its gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
Its gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child

and the money and the time is piling up!

Hey Big T,
Don't feel bad. It's the truth! For you, for me. And all early vanners. It takes lots of both to restore these vans. In our modern word of "Disposable" cars it's sometimes hard for others to see the attraction we have and the desire to safe these slowly fading classics. It is truly a "Labor of Love" and not simply for personal gain. I feel very lucky, my better half can see the potential in everything and is very happy I'm at home working on my van instead of hanging out at the bar with the guys all the time (Which also takes a whole lot of Time & Money). With the van I will have something to show for all that Time & Money!, and something she can help with and enjoy as well.

So Big T. You’re not alone. We’re all on that “Bus” with you…….

And all when you get her finished? They'll all be lining up at the bus stop for a ride in your "Very Cool Magic Bus".

So far, mine has been almost all labor, but I'm getting to the point of spending money. I have a lot of friends to thank for donations to the project; headers, valve covers, tires, junkyard runs, a transmission rebuild, tools, and help with bodywork.

My last one wondered where she was gonna park, this ones all about getting another one, two.....now, i just gotta pick one and start onit......
