while you are at it....take out the headliner, center console, door panels, glove box, and dash trim......that will loose a few more pounds....and if your gonna be drag racing it, then take out the front metal bumper...make 2 metal brackets and weld them to the radiator support and reinstall the plastic bumper cover....same with the back
