My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies

S10 probably - I remember getting it well under 4000 lbs and then adding 500 back into it.

What about cutting the crash bars out of the doors. Also can you eliminate some of the hard ware on front bumper?

You guys have been making me nervous on Vega box. I started thinking about it and my old Super Stock Monte with 454 had a Vega box and if I remember correctly it weighed 1800 plus lbs in front weight. More updates and picture soon.

Technically, no.

That being said, I don't think I've seen a tech guy shine a flashlight down inside a door, in about 40 years.
You'd be lucky to find all the window regulators in 2017.

Mark, that is exactly what I was thinking have never seen tech look at that not in div 4.

Cool build looks like it would be a blast, think outside of the box and read every line of the rulebook.

Finally getting started. Long over due. Car came from Orland Park IL, hence the surface rust. Removing nearly full gas tank. Will get fuel lines removed and rusty brake lines removed today.

On both? Or just the bumper hardware?

If you mean the impact shock absorbers for the bumpers, that would also be no in Stock. Lighter fasteners could be used though.
