got the clutch rod and peddle welded up and installed clutch flex hose modified and installed shifters and boots installed . I'm not going to have to fab a tiller shifter after all . 2 bends in the GM shifter and it clears just fine . also modified the dash bar and cut the heck out of what was left of the Samurai heating system to get the aftermarket heater to fit above the shifter and in the dash . what is left of the plastic is for the cowl drain and fresh air intake .

Home for a short stay , not much time in the barn but got a few things done . chassis wiring harness done and the under dash part is in the dash , and the dash is back in the Samurai . This is the part for the lights , ignition and charging , it will go in after the finders are done got the heating system finished , reworked the window ducts and bent up a shroud for the heater tucks up under the dash and still leaves room for the shifter cut up an old road sign to make an insert for some new gauges and turn signal indicators All Auto meter except for the fuel gauge . I bought a sending unit and gauge from PA as I didn't have a GM gauge to put with the GM in tank unit . Me thinks I'll loose points at the contours shows . The front part of the Samurai came off in one piece as it was welded together by a PO so it came apart and will get put back together when this thing is running and I don't have to get at things under the hood as often rad support and the front part of the finders that's it for the next few months

Lurking around the forum for the first time in forever, any updates on this old thing? lots of things done Dan , a few steps forward and 5 back . had to take a new route with the engine . Couldn't make the newer one work with the old computer and harness so ended up getting an Edelbrock intake and a TBI .lil'monster has been great helping me out . Still a few things to do , like take some pics and update this thing . Soon
