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: )

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.

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

Mines near 306 lbs, but that only includes the items I am not putting back in. Mine is still going to have the AC, PS, both stock front seats, and all the interior panels.

Front Bumper Support = 25.375 lbs
Fog lights and brackets = 4.0625 lbs
Cruise control, cable, and throttle cable cover = 4.4375 lbs
Air pump and brass fittings = 5.9375 lbs
Stock horns = 1.875 lbs
Stupid siren and loud horn = 2.5 lbs
Stock Y pipe and single cat = 21.1875 lbs
Frame horns = 5.125 lbs
Fender metal = 1.25 lbs
Rear Seatbelts = 4.1375 lbs
Aftermarket Speaker Wiring (will be added to considering there is a ton more of it) = .25 lbs
Carpet = 29.0375 lbs
Windshield washer fluid resevoir with water = 8.0625 lbs
Heat shields beneath the car = 2.1875
Soon to be useless exhaust hangers = 2.00 lbs
Rear Seats = 22.4375 lbs
Random exhaust hangers, brackets, nuts, and bolts = 9.25 lbs
Front Speakers = 2.75 lbs
Rear Speakers = 3.25 lbs
Front Speaker Brackets = 1.25 lbs
Interior brackets including (rear seat brackets, antenna bracket, rear seat belt brackets) = 3.875 lbs
Security System Hood Lock = 2.6875 lbs
Antenna + Wire (not including the actual metal rod) = .25lbs
Stock catback = 50.1875lbs
Rear Armrests = 4.21875lbs
Extra Metal Trimmings = 1.00lbs
Emergency Brake System = 12.125lbs
Door Fiberglass = 1.90625 lbs
Door Crash Bars and Brackets = 17.5625 lbs
Window Regulator Metal = 1.8846535171744791666666666666667 lbs
Driver's Air Bag = 3.625 lbs
Passenger's Air Bag = 9.46875
Heater Core (empty) = 1.03125
AC Tube = .09375
Black Mat = 10.03125 lbs
Airbag Crash Sensors = 1.53125 lbs
Mat That is Underneath the Dash Pad = 2.34375 lbs
Heater Core Hoses = 2.0125 lbs
Front Sway Bar = 15.09375 lbs
Plastic Shrouding = 4.968749 lbs
Power - Manual seat slider = 14.4375 - 10.8125 = 3.625 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.
