imagine my surprise I'm looking through the posts and BAM! there's my rig in big beautiful pictures. I was over at Warn seeing Chad, old time customer and Friend, this was the first time he had seen my Sammy, I had been talking about it for quite a while. He told me of a co worker (Andy) that liked samurai's and called him down to look at it and he took the pic's and we talked about it for a while. I did find the rig sitting in a field up in Mossy Rock WA. I was told it been sitting there for 4yrs, It was pretty nasty and full of moss water and garbage I was able to make it run but it was real noisy and the clutch was bad and the brakes were non-existant, what a mess I just had to have it! so we went back up the next day with a trailer and brought it home. all of the work minus the Eng. machine work was done in my garage. there was lots of clean up. I tried to use as many used parts as possible, bought a lot of stuff From William down at Hawk just north of Grants Pass Or. I get down that way a lot because of my job so I was hauling parts home all the time. I also used Gladstone Suzuki a lot they are great! I've always been into old ford trucks and mustangs but I love this little rig and others seem to like it also. every where we take it people want to look at it and talk about it. Thanks for all the great feed back, and trust me it has no Banks power, but you never know? I will try and load the beginning pic's soon, still trying to figure out how. Bill
