Default Lightweight Project SS update

My brother (99LS1_TA) and I finally got a new weight on our Project SS. The new weight includes new additional mods. Meziere race water pump, Hal rear shocks, Spohn drag sway bar, PS delete, Hawker battery, Aluminum PHB, and more weight removal and the info that was posted here https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ght=project+ss

The Project SS with all interior panels, seat, dash, carpet and ect. now weight 2740 lbs without driver and with the fuel gauge sitting on E. We haven't had a chance to take it to the track for a new timeslip yet.

Future mods include lightweight hood, brakes and whatever else we can come up with. The pictures show just some of the weight that was removed, the interior and scale ticket.
