I think 100lbs is .1 roughly. So it won't be that bad. Plus it will be NHRA legal so you can run flat out.

Well the removable cross bar is NOT NHRA legal. You could try maybe they wouldn't care being that your not going like 10s or something but ya never know.

...it comes powdercoated black. Its easier with a vert, but I think you still need to remove the seats and stuff and you get it in and set up then mark it up for weld if your going to weld it in, if you get the bolt in one though just get it all in and make the marks where your going to drill before you drill anything. Then once its all lined up and everything make the holes and bolt it in.

removal door bars are legal to have. but that six point might add 80-90 lbs to be honest. not alot of weight for piece of mind IMO

I think he meant the cross bar behind the seats. So he can recline his seat back. That has to be welded in for NHRA.
