Formula350- dont hate on the shifter LOL as far as the hood idk if im going to go with that one or something diff. i want a pin on hood so i can ditch the latch and all that crap.

 

Doors Bars aka PITA..sry for the crappy cell phone pic its all i had at the time

 

How much do those weigh?

 

there probably close to 20 pounds or so.

 

If you want a hood to pin-on, why not a standard WS6/Ram Air hood, then it won't be so gaudy looking Dunno, just personal preference on the ram air hoods :\ 98+ stays on 98+ FIREBIRDS (lots put them on Camaros :puke: )

 

Looks like a fun time, I'm gonna be startin' mine as soon as good weather comes back to us.

 

warning gutting your car is like an addiction just ask TaubrUnit lol

 

i wish i could do that but i like having all the "bells and whistles" but i would like the light car too

 

yea deff man. i would love to have kept the heat and such...but i dont drive it in the winter so it doesn't really matter...and the a/c well thats t-tops out at 70 with the mullet blowing in the wind LOL(so all the ricers say)

 

my ta is a hardtop...so mullet head hangs out the window

 

hahaha...i wish i had a hard top car.

 

anyone have any idea how much weight i have taken out? i didnt weight anything as i was taking it out i wanna say ive dropped 300 pounds or so

 

Check Beaflag's thread, probably around page 3 or 4 now, but he tallied up all his gutted pieces. He ripped out a TON of stuff and I was surprised that he just barely broke 300lbs.

 

ill have to check it out. i just went off what is posted in the weight reduction thread in the drag racing section.

 

I can tell you right now that you're not around 300 lbs.

Grand total to this point = 305.884699 lbs + all the stuff I still have to either cut out or weigh.

I still have roughly 300 lbs that I plan on removing or cutting. I had a really good list of everything I have and planned on removing going on my other computer, but it crashed. I need to try and get it off of there some how. It should be around 2900 lbs with me in it once it is operational. Eventually, I could get it down to 2650 retaining the amenitites I listed above by my calculations, but plans have changed and I'll be adding a few heavy objects.

There's a link to my 93 project in my sig if you would like to check it out. I should be updating it starting next week. I'm working on gathering parts for the new engine now and I should start putting the interior back together on Monday or Tuesday.

Good luck with the weight reduction. The most important thing to remember in regards to taking out weight is all of the little things add up.

 

holy crap man thats a hell of a list you got there. thanks for the reply it looks like i most of the stuff you have on the list plus the entire hvac system and power steering. your car is gonna fly once its done. ive been following your build on both of your cars for some time youve done some great work. thanks again for the reply man.

hows the sunny weather in FL man i wish i still lived there...****** snow

 

i just had to repair my rear qtr panel and was soooooo tempted to start takin out all kind of excess metal...but...its not time for that phase yet...cant wait tho

 

yea man i was hesitant to start but once i started cutting i couldn't stop. next is all the rear seat brackets, and all the other misc brackets.
