This hasn't been a good day after hearing this news earlier. I really can't express into words how I feel about this. All I can say is that I am proud that Steve was a friend of mine. My father said it best years ago. "Steve Sandlin is a gaurdian angel to many in this hobby." That's how I want to remember him. May god rest his soul and look out for Beth, his children, and grandchildren.

Words cannot express how saddened the Clary family was to hear of Steve’s passing. For some unknown reason, he took a liking to us hillbillies, making us part of his extended family. We will always cherish the memories of the many good times we had with Steve. He will always be close to our hearts.

And as others have mentioned, Steve was a true car guy, through and trough, always willing to pitch in, where ever needed, to help others, not expecting, or wanting, anything in return. I can honestly say, were it not for Steve, the sYc would not be what is today.

Rest in Peace My Friend.

One of Steve's passions was racing, here with one of his racecars at his annual open house.

What can I add that hasn't already been eloquently said?

Steve was a one in a million kind of guy...and our family will miss him.

Steve was more than generous when I had issues with my Chevelle. He took it upon himself and his staff to come and get my car and get it fixed...at no cost to me.

I told him many times that I could never repay his generosity...and his answer was "Seeing a smile on your face and your family having fun is all the payment I'll ever need".

That in a nutshell was Steve Sandlin...a quiet guy with a tremendous heart...

Beth and the rest of the Sandlin family..please take it easy...we are here for whatever you need. Jeff, the same goes for you.

Thanks for all of the PM's and calls Steve...and thanks for being a friend to so many (my lucky self included)!

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.
