Dash is out.......

So is the heater box assembly, air bag etc. Took off the wiper assem/motor etc. Even took out that rubber firewall cover (can't believe how heavy that was).
Fabbed up a galvanized steel plate for the hole that was left.
#8 plug is my favorite now

.
I think I'm gonna hang on to the radio for now, drowns out the noisy Moser rear.
Not sure about the bumper supports, I drive on the street. Gonna lose the door braces since I have the roll bar.
Before the dash coming out I weighed in at 3500 with me in it. I'm looking for a 3250 raceweight. I think I made a big leap towards that today.

Its about 60-70lbs for the heater box/dash insulation/heater hoses and air bags if I remember right. I took all the speakers + the monsoon amp out and rewired the door speakers so both speakers work with just the radio alone. It sounds OK and its better then nothing
