Another round of weight reduction today. Since I have a one piece drive shaft Ive been wanting to remove the stock mount underneath looked like a healthy chunk of metal.

This is the Culprit


Got a few of these to help


This job was a pain in the ass. Had to remove center of exhaust and driveshaft to begin with. My drill was too big to get into the upper corners, had to use a dremel to grind down the hard to reach welds.
All that work its only 1.75lbs


Worn out and putting the car back together something hit me. The gas tank shield really only covers the middle as the sides are exposed. Anything that would fly up would hit my Borla muffler (in front of tank) or the drive shaft so that sucker is good as gone! Just put the sides of the tank under floor jacks and removed the straps holding the shield and the tank to the car.
Now today was worth it 3.75lbs!


Total loss Today 5.5lbs for Free!
New weight 2466.25 LBs
