I got en email message today after a long exchange with an executive at the History Channel, looks like my Bus is going to be a star again. The History Channel is doing a series called "Our Generation", described by her as "takes a look at the people and events that
helped shape the Baby Boomer generation. Previous episode topics of the series have included The Ford Mustang, The Apollo 11 Moon Landing, The JFK Assassination, Toys of a Generation, Disco, Kent State, and the
Summer of Love. Our Generation airs four times per week and is seen by
more than 1.6 million people." Anyway, we exchanged several emails, a bunch of pictures and today I got an email asking me to in NYC June 10+11 for a taping of the show. They are going to use my Bus to recreate the road trip from NYC to Woodstock that so many people made back in '69. We will be starting in Greenwich Village with the show's host, and we will be picking up John Sebastian, who played the original concert. I'm still working out all the details, but as it looks right now it's a go. I'm gonna be dropping the engine out this weekend, and I just ordered a new clutch kit, front and rear crank seals, shift rod bushings, a new clutch cable, etc., etc. from Bus Depot. My rear main started leaking and it's making the clutch start to chatter and slip occasionally. I've got plenty of time to get it done. Wish me luck, I'll update when I know more and have more details about when the show will air. I'm so f**kin excited! |

| In order to make things a bit more realistic, perhaps you shouldn't fix those things :) This is the History Channel afterall... |

You'd think that they'd want to use a pre-'69 bus?
But hey, sweet deal 8) |
