Information:
I purchased this buggy in March 2007 and spent the summer restoring it. 
My schedule allowed me to work on it one day a week but by the end 
of summer I had it on the road. I was luck that I had the help and 
experience from two really great friends that I needed to complete my 
project in such a short time. I was able to put 178 Miles on, one car 
show and two parades before the cold set in. I plan on driving the wheels 
off it this summer. A few weeks ago Me and a buddy finished a hard 
top for my buggy to help keep off some of the sun this summer. He 
posted the pics of the project on the SAMBA site.

Story:   
I fell in love with the dune buggy look when I was a kid and always wanted 
one. When a guy I worked with told me he had one for sale, we negotiated 
the price for about a year before I finally agreed to buy it. I know why wait
 that long but I was going thru a divorce and money was tight at that point 
but it all worked out in the end. I know my buggy is not perfect and has 
some flaws, But it still an on going project but a driveable one. I currently 
work for a large diesel engine manufacture where I went thru a machinist 
training program, Worked in assembling the engine and now in our quality 
dept. I have also been in the Army, worked in maintenance at an airport, 
worked as industrial sewing machine mechanic/ maintenance supervisor. 
I have two great boys three and nine. They keep me pretty busy with school, 
sports, and Cub Scouts (as Cub master and a den leader). Involved in my 
church and like hanging out with friends and family as much as I can.
