Extent Or Your Cars Weight Reduction

Cope said

Pull the window regulators and make seat belt straps to hold the glass up. Its like 12 pounds per door.

Only down side is no adjusting the window while driving. Gotta pull over for that.

Remove the under coat, i hear its almost 100 pounds but i never weighed it.

Remove carpet.

Wipers, linkage, motor= garbage. Do you drive in the pouring rain? I dont.

On a van i would toss the rear bumper and make a roll pan. Heck id toss the front bumper also.

Reduced things down to 3120 lbs as of now, replaced various things with aluminum, ditched both bumpers and brackets (using bumper guards to fill the holes in the valances) wiper components completely, replaced door glass (using plexi) and regulators (using seatbelt straps) some interior steel panels and plates with aluminum, have 3/16 Margard Lexan ready to install for the two windshields and still need to fab a couple more aluminum brackets which will drop it to a approx. 3090 lbs. Will settle on that for some time. Then eventually with the TF heads I’ve got and lighter race only rims and front tires I calculate it’ll be slightly under 3000 lbs and that’s it!
