Spent my night making some new brackets,finishing front motor mounts, maching motor monts for les weight and drilling holes in few other parts. Think I took about 2 to 2.5 lbs off car but hey its weight that I don't have to haul down track. Shame I can't put my fat butt on mill or lathe and cut weight same way. Still working towards loosing another 30 to 40 lbs.Has to help balance car better 65 lbs. not hanging out back.
GlennLever:
I could lose 50, latly all I'm doing is adding weight to the FED, bracket here, intake there, blower here, injection hat there.

It does not feel like we made much progress this weekend. Tom was over and so were both of my sons. Number one son stayed behind the camera so I have no pictures of him, but I did get a picture of the number two son.
We started like this
and ended like this
In between those two the blower bag is back from DJ so we the blower bag back on with the modifications made by DJ it fits now.
Installed the rear restraint strap bracket.
Made a bracket to hold the fill can for the coolant system
it came out pretty nice

TIME is obviously scarce around my house.
