leaner/meaner
new directions are always good. Time to remove what is irrelevant.

I'll weight it again after I finish taking more out. Today we started on the tint, that's pretty fun.

No reason to remove the tint... It holds the pieces together as you smash the glass. Time for poly side and rear windows.

^ Yes Maz, I know you have dibs.
@ Jason, I definitely want to try that -- at least the rear quarters, that looks like a fun weekend project.

I have thought about the summer next year already and am looking to go poly windows, but not sure. If I go poly then it can't be on the street at all. Lookin great Garm!

You can get a lot of weight out of the doors.
This one is a bit more mild.

Thanks! today more progress. Fitted a Sparco bucket seat to my old brackets -- bye bye Bride. (and thanks Jason for the hookup on the seat)
Wow, this thing holds me like my mommy's womb. mmmmm....... Passenger seat is out -- no more ridealongs. next is driver door panel, then the carpeting.

Nice.
OK, I will start the final weight guessing. 2050lbs (no driver) with a 1/4 tank of fuel, in race trim.

@ Jason I am amazed at your car's weight WITH a full cage. That's going to add in about 50 back on mine?
@ Jesus -- I'll bring this instead, it's lighter than you.
