Hey Ed,
I imagine you missed Steve's earlier posts.  I've included them below.  I
guess I felt that Steve was forthcoming, and he has also been contributing
actively on the list in the last two days (crimped wires, adjusting lifters,
etc.).
Just my $0.02
bmc  :)

"Hey folks..
I'm in the process of starting to part out 30+ vanagons
most of the really really good stuff is gone (no complete sets of alloys)
but most parts are there.

"Look kid, it's NOTAJEEP! ""

and

"The full story is I got laid off from the aircraft industry (flight
testing)
and I've not got the time to sort though all this stuff..(and the money
helps
too!)
fair enough?
I've got some stuff on e-bay right now (notajeep)
I really hate to see this stuff just sit..I missed out on 40+ buses that got
crushed 12 weeks ago..I bought the rest of the "fleet" from the place. He
said that he hadn't sold a vanagon part in a year and was tired of looking
at
them...ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!
