Any idea how much weight is saved by going to FG hood, trunk and bumpers?

Of course I forgot to weigh my hood and trunk before I put them back on the car.

Thanks,
david

chris,

the racecar ranch as we call it is larry jordano's shop/home in stuart florida. He has a giant shed where he does all the fabrication. He is really a BMW racer but I convinced him to do the prep on my car. He did a great job.

He drove the car at sebring last weekend and was really taken with the handling and low weight compared to his cars. Maybe we made a convert.

I pretty much new what I wanted with the cage. Nascar bars, petty bar, rear supports from main hoop to back of car, dash bar hidden up under dash instead of down near your knees, etc.

I will post some pics of the build at www.synthesisdv.com/vg later this weekend.


regards,
david
