Well I striped the front end...and next will be the engine bay it willall be painted while the engine is out and engine bay clean..

I was going to throw a FC oil cooler in but im still debating on that,I want to know what **** I can trash for weight reduction,since I found out I gained 15lbs in the last 2 months..

Theres a litthe hole on the passengerside by the lights..Im going to make air ducts in the valance and thinking of running a tube towards the air claner/carb from there..

I just want to loose **** I dont need..

What should I do..

 

you could always go on a diet and lose that 15lbs

 

You only need one horn.

 

I was thinking of adding 1 or 2 more stock horns to mine, I use the horn a lot

 

thats a good idea coldy..

NEW PROJECT! hehe

 

Im 215 now..

I want to get down to 180-190..



I got a set of plastic air horns I took off a car when i was working on used cars at the dealership..

Make that little beast honk like a boat

 

Way ahead of you

Paint is weight!

 

My car is probobly still lighter And it still has all the exterior body panels

 

oh yea, too far is when you have removed the drivers seat and are sitting on a lawn chair for reduced weight.

 

Only thing bad is ..Im running a Holley,I dont know what air filter/cleaner im going to run next... Im not sure of the RacingBeat frizbe look,,

I dont know if im just going to run a tube up to the carb or what im going to do ..



Hey its ok on straights

 

WHOA, is that a 10th An. off to the right? I see the white rims...

 

I've got the round K&N, also I've got a carb bonnet that I was thinking might be good for a CAI

 

I wish I had a garage like that to work out of....looks like you get to have all kinds of fun with your 7's, man!

 

Yep shes next

I need help!I dont have much time for anything..Im home right now cleaning the port work and doing last coat of paint before engine gets put back together

 

I put my car on the scales this saturday...

2305lbs w/driver and less than a 1/4 tank...GSL model w/sunroof. My weight is 160lbs.


just for reference...

 

i was reading a article in grassroots motorsports magazine which pretty much explained that its better to get rid of excess weight than to try and add extra hp...more efficient anyways. honestly if youre not going to use it ditch it. lighter is better!

 

definately, because reduced weight benefits the car in every single way, acceleration, braking, handling, gas mileage, it helps parts last longer as they dont have to do as much work, all around its the best thing you can possibly do

 

 

lol verrry shagadelic

 

Im almost there...

 

Why not get one from an early 80's Lincoln, those f&^kers ARE LOUD

 

Me too. I just pulled out the wiring harness and I'm gonna re-wire it to the bare minimums. All that extra wiring is deceptively heavy!! I bet you I will chop out 20lbs doing this. Its a lot of work, but I say its worth it.

I was gonna leave the basic harness in, and remove all the unnessesary wires, but then I accidentally cut the wires to the brake lights. So then I had this HUGE tangled mess of wires, and just decided to rip the entire thing out. I'll just wire in the bare minimums: coils, push button starter, fuel pump, lights (from my flush mount setup, also for weight reduction), bright lights, brake lights, turn signals, tach, speedo, electric fan, oil pressure, engine temp, and a couple warning lights. That should be about all she needs. Rip out TONS of other crap, its unbelieveable how many wires there are just for the emissions and audio system. Rediculous.
