Okay, in a seriousness. So Brant, what do you think was the biggest weight savings you did? I basically have my car stripped but nothing really removed.

Jon,

no one thing was the "simple" answer to weight savings
I think I took about 400 - 450lbs total out of the stock chassis
(I figure I'm about 300 below the stock 4 weight, and thats with a motor that is 150 heavier than my old 4 racecar)

but that 400 was no single one thing
all of the undercoat, engine bay sheetmetal, lack of bondo, brackets welded tabs probably totaled a few hundred of that... and that was labour intensive weight

my secret formula was $50 per a pound.
(I figure my labour is worth basically nothing, so it was easier to put 100 hours into scraping tar than spend money)
when it came to buying lighter weight components, I calculated out what the weight savings would be and used the $50=pound formula to see if it was worth it.

taking off weight can get real expensive at some point.

Thanks Brant. I figured as much. I have my car down to 2050lbs and now it is time to get creative.

Brant,

Your concept of "dirty" qualifies you for a white cotton glove courtesy of Ferg... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That motor looks cleaner than most fresh rebuilds that are put back -into- cars. And that one is coming -out-...

Ferg,
It's all dirty... although you must realize that trans is painted black and even cleaned up it doesn't look "normal"

when can yellow car come to your house.
she is pretty much ready to join your herd:
