    Update... 49 pounds gone

    Nuts
    Bolts
    Drivers side air bag
    Passenger side air bag
    Passenger side air bag bracket
    Began "massaging" the inner bits of the passenger side door
    E brake handle


    I still have to snake out the e brake cable.... dissconnect it under the car... remove the hook ups on rear brakes.... remove the e brake plates.... that weight is NOT factored into the amount.


    I pretty much had the entire dash out.... and my hands have been completely destroyed.... cut to hell!

    I am planning on reupholstering the interior cloth portions of the doors.... so... the passnger side plastic inner portion has the cloth portion removed.... it's a work in progress.

    Hittin the track tomorrow night.... gotta install my steel braided brake lines tomorrow morning.

    Damn..... I'm frigin beat!

      Took about 4-5 hours :(

      As for go cart..... the thing is gettin damn light......

      This should put me in the high 28XX's

      When I get around to doing brakes... that will be another 60+- pounds...... then I'll be knocking on 2,700's and THAT is a damn go kart [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                I saw the Keith post!!!

                2660!!!!!!! HOW?!?!?!?!?!?

                I was amazed/ inspired.

                Rob..... N/A... w/ 323's I was set rear to 9 (1 being loosest, 12 being stiffest) w/ 4:10's I've tried 6... so I'm still learning

                My best race weight was just under 3100 pounds..... I think 3096?

                          I'm am interested in either the Strange Brakes, or the Aerospace brakes listed on Billingsly. I'm also contemplated the manual brake conversion.
