I’ve been sick all week, house bound Thursday and Friday. I’m finally feeling better today so I spend a couple hours out in the garage. Since I’m painting the engine bay and my aero stuff I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t f it up by starting anything new after it's painted. So the last mod I’m going to make this winter is to chop off the very front end of the car to clean things up and to my surprise lose a substantial amount of weight. I researched some DSMtuner threads on doing this, I also came across a link of John’s Gallant project. One guy reported 25-30 lbs max, however he didn’t weight anything. Here is the thread:

I weigh everything I take out to see where I’m at. The following stuff in the pic weighed 62.5 pounds!!!

I purchased a Woodward tube bender yesterday and I’m excited to try it out on this project. I’m guessing I’ll add about 10-12 pounds back in.
This car is going to be fun this season!!
