Sorry photo is so small posting from phone. Did this so I could mount all the stock body panels in a permanent fashion for no removable 1 piece front end rules... Rules changed and its not needed now... But I won't undo it as it came out nice.
Have a little more cutting in progress on the shock towers, for header clearance, when its all finished I will put up another picture.

That looks great JL!! If you were to do what JL did, and run tubes to the frame front and back, it should be as rigid as stock. That's my plan at least. Along with everything stock in front of the K member.

If you use a hole saw you can get 18 lbs out with a 3 and 4 inch home saw. Mi did this before cutting it all off.... Cutting it all off and the small round bar with tabs like I did saved over 40.
Cut a total if 154 lbs off the front of my car and put 34 lbs back to hold everything, that's as close we could get weight wise, by weighing a foot of the material then measuring it out one it was built.
I know what we cut off is accurate, including the firewall portion

its not close to the fender at all. If you lean on it and push till it hit the under metal I bet the fender would crack in the cold. you still have all the fender suppot, it hangs on the top over the lip in the engine bay you dont cut that (well on a stock car were talking about). I think theirs 1 bolt in the door jam too, Its a L braket that bolts to the body with some adjustemt, you dont touch that. Then the 2 bolts under the fender to the rocker tap that gets bend it you jack the car on it. And the front behind the headlight has a molded alignment tap 2 bolts, that is welded to the core support, you dont touch that. The fenders dont really sag, they bolt on really good.

I don't know about a wheelie but I my car leaves low and straight with no twisting or flexing and I also have a cage. I just ordered a pin-on hood and installed Dzus rails and they are very sturdy attached to the fender.
