So what’s a Lexan windshield gonna weigh?
 
other body parts and frame weight
 
Side windows, regulators, trim, rear window, passenger seat, racing drivers seat, front and rear bumpers and brackets
and lightening door stuctures.
 
And I'll be shedding a few myself.
 
that's funny i try to loose weight and all it does is double up.

I smell someone chasing the 8.99 barrier :poke:

in any case lighter car, should be quicker
put ballast where & if you even need it

good luck Bob

Squeezing whatever I can get out of a stock block, std.stroke motor.
8.99 lmao
 
Removed all 4 regulators, replaced the side windows, and rear window on mine with 1/8" Lexan. Still has stock windshield. Saved 88lbs.

Driver side window and regulator removed.
-24 lbs. More x2
I'm now at 80lbs. removed.
Still have rear window and quarter glass.
I'm not sure if I'm removing the quarter glass yet.

-7 lbs. per side for the quarter glass.
Total now at 94 lbs!
I see some not- needed metal hiding too.
Still have the rear glass to take out.
I think I'm going to leave the rear bumper alone.
Front bumper is going to be glass along with aluminium brackets.
 
Passenger seat -38 lbs.
Driver seat -38lbs.
Front bumper and brackets -24 lbs..

That brings my gross total so far to -194 lbs.
We'll see if I can get a High 9.40's time slip in the spring!
Rear window and rear bumper still in place.
