As soon as I get a new rear hub to get it out of the shop, I plan on taking it to the truck stop to use their cat scales and I will post the print out. I know for a fact that I have dropped a min of 100lbs off the car myself. I wieghted the parts that came off, and added them all together for a total of 90 something pounds. I didn't weigh all the random bits of metal and tubing that came off, so. "bits of metal" include, frame work of the hood and engine compartment lid, trunk lid, I also cut out a good portion of the frame work on the doors. I also trimmed other random mounting tabs and things like that, that were no longer being used by anything. tubing being all the tubing from the ac. the complete ac system has been removed, to include the mounting bracket for the ac compressor. The compressor and mounting bracket alone was 25lbs. Pretty much all the interior has been ripped out except the seats, gauge cluster, and steering wheel. I still need to replace the seats with much lighter ones. The bumper supports have been removed and new lighter ones are being fabricated. And here comes all the "your makeing your car unsafe....blah blah blah" Remember it's my car and I will modify it how ever I wish. So go ahead and make your comments. Just before you start make sure you read everything I said, you may have missed something. So anyways I hope everyone is haveing a wonderful day.
