Seriously though, I can't figure out how you lost 350 lbs by simply gutting the car. Care to explain?

Sorry dude, Seats, carpet, rear bench, platic panels, a/C and speakers = 200-300lbs, not 50-75lbs. Factory Sound dead weighs 45lbs by itself (stacked all together on a scale).
Factory seats = 30-45lbs A PIECE! Race seats are between 15-25lbs. My Corbeau F1's were 19lbs a piece and my factories were 30+lbs. That's just the Front seats. The rear back rest (heaviest part) is a good 15-20lbs. NOW....add in the weight from the very Brackets that hold the seats in place now. Removing metal brackets + the screws that hold those brackets down is going to put in some additional weight into removing factory seats alone. There is a good 100+lbs in removing seats alone and replacing them with aftermarket ones. Carpet although feels rather light when it's spread out, imagine if you could collectively weigh it...it's not light because it has padding in certain spots.
Just so you know, my 2550lbs is not a guess. It's confirmed weight, I wouldn't post it if I didn't know.
