My Weight reduction list (LT1 Formula)
My Weight reduction list (LT1 Formula) Hey guys, though I would post this.
I weighed everything with a postage scale to be as accurate as I could. Also, everything was weighed with the hardware that attached it to the car. I did list exhaust because I'm taking it off and adding duals. I expect to gain back 30-35 lbs

No, I'm not going to take the door bars out and I'm undecided on the airbags. I don't plan on putting a cage in the car and do want to be able to be comfortable driving it in town. I already feel bad about taking the crash stuff out of the nose of the car.
It would be nice to have a set of skinnys for the car and a k-member/control arms. between those too i bet I could get another 50-65 pounds off the nose.

Thats my next step. The heat shields are honestly feather light. I weighed one at less than a quarter of a pound. Still undecided about that.
I want to also take the EVAP canister out of the back. I still have power steering to take off also.

Thanks 
Heres an update. 390 pounds not including the passenger seat. Still have the drivers airbag to remove, some airbag modules and sensors, and I want to do wheels and tires. So far the only thing I've purchased has been the K-member and lower a-arms.
