Hummmmm! Straight up or in Circles????????? This project is an eye catcher as well as a jumping street machine.

This Samurai is a hardtop with all the back windows removed with panels welded in to make a small panel delivery truck. It has been lowered. Springs moved to the inside of rear frame on the back. A Chevy S-10 narrowed rear to accept 295x50's x12.5 wide tires on 10 aluminum wheels.The front axle is made from 3" special tubing with 4" drop to clear oil pan.Oil pan well was moved to back of motor to clear axle tube. I used the ball 4WD ends welded to the tubing. The front tires are 245x50's x10"on 8" wheels.
The engine is a 3.8 Buick V-6 with a Weiand intake with a 3"aluminum spacer. The carb is a 390 Holley. The cam is maxed out for this motor and lopes nice. Actually rocks the truck.

I fabricated a 4" cowl induction scoop and welded it to the top of the existing hood.

A full rollcage and Summit Racing seats and 5-way harnesses makes it look real raceworthy.
The shifter and radiator is out of a Chevy Monza. The headlights are 4 rectangulars form Geo.The back lights are 5th stoplights out of Pontiac Grand Am. They were recessed 1 1/2".Sidemarker lights on front were removed and replaced with sheetmetal to smooth out body.






Rearend about to be narrowed............
Oh No!!!! We are cutting it up. It will never be the same. Yup,yer right!!!!!
After hours of cutting with a hacksaw,we have completed one side. Shoooooo! One to go!!!
