Bill, I thought my talk was good, I was trying to give this fella something to think about so that maybe he can do something unique with his car, so that he wouldn't get DISILLUSIONED.
WADE_OWENS, What shocks me is how well that car of yours runs, it has some magic of its own.
Bob Mulry, BITE ME!

I thought the Alabama acid dip was a car that had the paint stripped and left to sit behind the barn for a few years...

if you haven't pulled the dash out yet, there is a mountain of weight back there

ideas to remove weight---Heater/AC components---batteries---water pump-- 4 or 6 cylinder radiator---all pulleys/belts etc not mandatory---power brakes/steering convert to manual stuff---clean out most everything under the dash---liteweight carpeting- consoles--door guard beams---scrape all the body sealer/undercoating off the underneath/ inside of body---aluminum impact bumper/s---Comp 387

No. And your not allowed to remove any bracing or supports from other areas either, like bumper brackets or bumper energy absorption parts.
