All I can tell you is that building a stock elim. car is a game of illusion, so use your imagination.

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!

Well said!.....Rich, it's amazing how much weight you can save with a 24 grit disc sander applied to the right places. ...cheap but takes time ......Tom

remove as much of the crash supports behind the frt bumper as you can and still leave for bumper attachment. cut the crash supports out of the doors if you have a roll bar.

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
