Monster Funk Videos/Interview with Bushido's Corbin Hayakawa

Transcript

 * Gian: Hello, this is Gian, with Monster Funk. Today I am interviewing the owner and operator of the Bushido monster truck, Corbin Hayakawa.
 * Corbin Hayakawa: Why hello Gian.
 * Gian: So Corbin, regarding the original leafspring Bushido, did you build it?
 * Corbin Hayakawa: No, I bought it from this 60-something American guy from Florida named Earl Dagit.
 * Gian: How long did it take to build, or in case, modify?
 * Corbin Hayakawa: Well, it was originally called "Thumper II". We essentially stripped the chassis of the old 70's Ford truck body and bolted on a dune buggy rollcage we found in a junk yard, then swapped out the Ford engine and gears for Holden ones, bolted on a 1995 Holden UTE body, tinkered with the rollcage to fit the body, painted the truck up and then went, "Yeah, that'll do." It cost about 170 bucks to build.
