Pretty much the same here except I dont have gun drilled axles but they were shortened 3" per side. My wheels are Bogart Welded Floyd RT's front and rear. I also have a power glide with some aluminum parts and Strange race brakes front and rear.

I have the Summit lightweight seats and covers. 5 point harness both sides.

Cool deal.. My rear has been narrowed 3 inches per side as well. But, my seats are a good bit heavier than yours probably and I have stock brakes on the rear and I'm running the Th400.. and I've got a stand alone fuel system for my nitrous so thats another 20 or so and the weight of the nitrous kit/bottle which is another 30 lbs or so I guess. So I'm probably lookin at around 3200lbs..

I'm sooo jealous. I weighed at Etown a few weeks back and it said 3350 w/ me in it. Since then I've removed a thing or two and now the scale always says 3450 give or take a few. 2900!!!! that's Awesome.
