Here is my primary vintage race car, I purchased it in 2009 and raced it all last season.

Just finishing up before the race on Sunday
A rundown of the work done: Removed front and rear hinges and pinned the hood and rear deck lid, this actually removed 10 lbs! Changed the rear deck lid to a lighter fiberglass lid, removed 6 lbs. Changed the rear bumper to a lighter unit, removed 4 lbs. The new rear quarter panels are 6 lbs lighter. Removed part of the steel quarter panels and lost another 12 lbs and I lost 20 lbs this winter!  |
