Cutting below front windshield... got the LT1 down to 2975lbs. tryin to get down some more. the sheetmetal that is directly under the front windshield that people cut out when runnin carbs where the plastic piece rests that covers the wipers.... can you remove it on a street driven vehicle. its not a DD but is mostly a street toy. there are no wipers so if it can go imma cut it out.

I would reccomend a metabo with a cutting wheel, a plasma cutter can build up a little to much heat if you want to trim it close to the windshield like I did, and that heat can crack the windshield. Cut it all out to the seam on the firewall, I did!
