The roof will be off in a couple of weeks, so I'll let you guys know on that as well.

Also of note, I stripped out all of the unnecessary brackets and other sheet metal from the inside of the chassis, and there isn't much to be gained there in weight loss. I took 8 lbs 9 oz out. Spare tire well seems pretty beefy, so maybe that will be a good chunk out once it gets chopped.

Does anyone have an accurate weight on the rear subframe?
Thanks a lot, this is gold info right here. I stripped the back of the car including all the brackets (seats, seatbelts and what not) and the brackets were a little under 10lbs so same as your experience. Thanks again for the info on the doors, and if you can weight in the rest that would be awesome and me (and probably a bunch others) will love you forever
