question--are you able to cut out the entire trunk well? And then weld in a plat over it so that the back part doesn't have a drop off? Seems like that would be 30 lbs right there.....if you look at your gas tank picture (very nice BTW) and then cut out the piece to the rear of the tank. Would that be possible?

yea i seen all that, i might tear into tall that later on. I still have a lot of work ahead of me so i need to start getting the car together THEN next winter tear more into it. Cant roll the blue either, my car has the "badass" look now and a blue cage would give it a weird look nah mean.
