The Samurai
The Samurai has been tore down since Thanksgiving. I have the front Toyota axle under it now, but I’m missing a sprint top plate. I’m going to steel one off the old Chevy. I also have the 6.5:1 transfer case with twin-stick installed.
Things I have left to do on it are:
1) Steering drag link.
2) Rear axle.
3) Break lines.
4) Drive shafts.
5) Repair busted Birfield.
6) Remount tires on new rims.
After that, I’ll be back on the trails. It’s probably only a days worth of work to get it going again, but I just haven’t been motivated to work on it. I go out there, mess around for awhile, then bail.
Next weekend I’ll be helping Dr. Smash move to his new shop, so maybe the weekend after that I’ll have it finished.
