Cutting below front windshield...
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.

Just be careful to not crack the windshield (speaking from experience). But then again I was going to replace it anyway, and I did use a reciprocating saw. If I had it to do again, I'd either use a torch or a cut-off wheel.

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!
