project tin can shootin for 9's

if you really want it that light, you're gonna need a lexan, a ton of fiberglass, and carbon where you can. safety equipment weighs a decent amount!
good luck with the build and that's a sick lookin car

Verdad Gallardo If there's anything other then a strip of the shock towers, and any more of the frame rail left past where the motor plate sits, it's not needed. Cut it all off.
Well.... that's what I'm doing anyway.
200 lbs of metal out, 35 lbs back in to add the structure needed to hold the nose together.
Your radiator is WAY too big too.

well finished up the rear brakes and got the tires fitted on. Incase you missed it, the rear is narrowed 2.5" on ea side and a 15x10 rim with a 4" b.s. I basically found a good place to put a wheel stud where i got the radius i wanted and used a plub-bob then to mark it out. I stuck down foil tape, traced it out on that then cut it out and used that line as my guide. Cut the fender away then cut the metal behind it, painted it black and done. Tire sits just inside the quarter and have about 3/4" gap between tire and fender. Didnt take any pics of the brakes but you can see um in a few of the pics.
thanks! There 5/8 studs with i like 3/4" spacers. Yes the wheels are shank style and i HATE! shank lug nuts SOOOO when i had the rearend narrowed n bought new axles i had 5/8 studs put in so i dont need shank lugs anymore. Let me tell you...sooo much nicer just throwin a wheel on and spinnin down a nut. Before anyone says it...i know the studs are overkill but said "**** it, i hate shank lugs"
No weight yet, won't have it weighed till it's drivable and I can drive it somewhere ya know. Thanks for the compliments, almost done with fuel system now. I'll have a few pics of that in a bit
