Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP

[sYc]

Speaking if his annual open house, each year during SEMA he would clear out one of his warhouses and host a car show/gathering for his many car freinds. Diana and I were able to make it one year with a couple of our cars. A lot of great memories. Here is a shot of some of the cars that were there year.

BTW, during the 24 hour trip from Alton to Vega we suffered numerous brake and tire issues with our trailer. When we got there, as soon as we unloaded, Steve had his crew hard at work repairing the damaged parts.

Some of the many people that came to Steve's SEMA party so that he could raise money for his charities...Steve was always donating money to things that meant a lot to him...



Raffling off all of the donated gifts...




And Ken Tibor with Steve's good buddy Hawaiian Jeff!

Very sad news about Steve. We got to know him pretty well with the Mose's deuce project, and the early start of the Roof deuce. He was a great guy to work on a project with. Always excited about what was going on. Always a good conversation even when we talked politics.
He was pretty proud of the fact that he could shoot toe, to toe with the army sniper boys too.
And he adored those beautiful grandkids of his. I remember when the 1st was born I got a slew of baby pics.
Our hearts go out to Beth, and the entire family. We've lost a fine man, and a good friend.

Some of you might not know but if it wasn't for Steve we probably wouldn't be posting on this site. Clarys were ready to pull the plug on it years ago and Steve stepped in,rallied a team, changes were made and the site stayed up. He did more for others than anyone I know. I miss you buddy. May you rest in peace.

I agree Chas. Just when you see alight at the end of the tunnel you hear stuff like this. Not good man. He was a gentle giant. Helped everyone he could. Dammit.
