if its a GT, Fog lights and brackets, otherwise, front sway bar, all sound insulation, stereo, heater core and vents, A/C, quad shocks and brackets, etc... Basically if you dont need it in a light weight race car, remove it

just did it a month or two ago

all the interior is gone, including the dash, all pads, etc, it will have an aluminum dash panel made by me, 2 aluminum kirkey race seats, and thats it for interior,I am going to ad 2 pound though by spraying everything the same black that my engine bay is, no rattle can either



between the tar paper shit on the floor, all insulation and carpet, dash, other plastic, including the stock sears i bet i pulled over 200 pounds out of the car, and none of it was over the rear tires

wipers are also gone with the motor and linkage

also devising a plan to gut the wiring including turn signals, and use arm signals if neccessary, yes i am getting that serious on weight
