Well said!.....Rich, it's amazing how much weight you can save with a 24 grit disc sander applied to the right places. ...cheap but takes time ......Tom

remove as much of the crash supports behind the frt bumper as you can and still leave for bumper attachment. cut the crash supports out of the doors if you have a roll bar.

Tom,

We used to call that Alabama Acid dipping!

I thought the Alabama acid dip was a car that had the paint stripped and left to sit behind the barn for a few years...

if you haven't pulled the dash out yet, there is a mountain of weight back there

are you allowed to remove metal from behind the door panels or rear side panels

ideas to remove weight---Heater/AC components---batteries---water pump-- 4 or 6 cylinder radiator---all pulleys/belts etc not mandatory---power brakes/steering convert to manual stuff---clean out most everything under the dash---liteweight carpeting- consoles--door guard beams---scrape all the body sealer/undercoating off the underneath/ inside of body---aluminum impact bumper/s---Comp 387

No. And your not allowed to remove any bracing or supports from other areas either, like bumper brackets or bumper energy absorption parts.
