Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I got a question after taking out all that weight why keep the stock dash? It may not weigh a lot but a simple gauge panel would weigh less.

The dash is gutted underneath, its light already. The point is to keep it kind of looking like a DSM. I can take it from beast mode to street mode in about an hour: Carpet, passenger seat & belts, center console, door panels, street tires and now mirrors.

I was going to add, the more I look into a race-only 1g, the more I realize how much of a street car your setup still is. Rock on.

Thanks! I still like to think it’s capable of driving on the street, although every year I drive it less miles.

I worked a little more on the mirror delete tonight. One side is almost fully paint prepped. I'm going to mount them just like the factory mirrors so it will be super easy to swap over.

Dislike.

What are those mirror deletes made out of? They look great.
