No pics of the interior work other then right after I pulled the dash, I didnt take any when I did it. The supports are hiding behind the bumpers, and the dash stuff isn't visible. But yeah, other then brakes/coils I've got a few ideas to get the car to 3500 lbs. It's VERY close. Lexan back glass will drop another 40, and contemplating getting a sheet metal drivers seat to swap in for race days for another 30.

So you're saying I have a weight problem:( On chemo I'm only 150, down from 175 so I guess you can say that I am reducing weight. I picked up .025 just from that!!!!!!!!!! That brings the car with me and 4 Bogarts to 4170#. 3500 would be sweet!

Are the tubular crash supports available to buy or were they fabricated?

They were fabbed from 1 1/8" OD chromoly and some basic 3/16" plate (leftover roll cage tubing). Nothing fancy, just functional. Surprised no one offers a manufactured piece, but it's also a liability for a MFR as technically you are modifying the car's crash structure, even if you're making a stronger and lighter part.
I did add a few pounds back to the car with the rear drag bar (necessary) and the DSS/Hendrix axles (also necessary). A 6 point is going to add another 40-45 pounds, which is unfortunate, but I'll find that weight elsewhere. |

Jaime, I'm sure with a little bit of cooler weather, you'll be in the nines, without any further weight loss... I hope everything is headed your way in re the Chemo... My brother in law just went through a long term battle... That was a roller coaster I don't wish on anyone...

Didnt put engine cover, intake cover, or tire inflator/foam on the list, but I didnt weigh those either. Maybe another 6-7 pounds there.
Front swaybar I'm still up in the air about. May keep it may ditch it, depends on how the car behaves with the drag bar in the back.
