First I started by removing alot of unwanted weight off the car. Pulled seats, seatbelts, crap under carpet, door bars, all A/C and heat stuff, both air bags, cowl, wipers and motor, ABS, front and rear bumper supports, all hood latch stuff, stock steering wheel, stock shifter, front inner fenders and liners, all stereo components, not used wires, antenna, parking brake, cables and dust shields, throttle cable and cruise control and power steering.

CM 6-point cage, will finish to 10 point
SJM Line Lock
I have ordered all Spohn adj. tubular

I found that 6literdesigns made the dash piece, I just had to modify my cluster so it would fit flush in the dash, I also got a piece that covers the hole where my stereo and a/c controls were, it is made from just ABS plastic.

Sick build man. I just started the very lengthy wheight reduction process. How did you manage to get the door bars off? Did you drill holes or pull them out by the fenders.
Sick build you have going on. On your old gauge cluster. The little black plastic stock that resets your trip meter... Would you still happen to have that. I'm in need of one.
Thanks
