Welcome to HT, and if your looking to lose weight but keep the interior, you could pull the power steering (if it has any) ac, get a traction bar (replaces x member and shave a couple lbs) lighter rims, etc... just make sure you always search before you post or else peaple will flame you hardcore. Good luck with your project and I hope to see some pics soon

 

thank you man

 

Looking for an 88 to 93 shell on east coast,
virginia beach would be great.CHEAP!!!!

 

just wait until you're not a trial user and you can post in the Marketplace.

Go Lexan glass to help lose wieght aswell. Also dry ice the floor pans to get the sound deadening material off too

i didn't need any dry ice or anything, i just tapped that stuff with a hammer and it came up real nicely. lost about 25 - 30 lbs but my car is noisy as hell. also you can remove all that rubber padding from the firewall, it's another 20-30 lbs. the car won't hold heat as well and will be even louder.

 

thanks for the support guys keep it comin
