I've heard of people taking the whole bumper inserts off the front of thirdgens..weighs like 100 lbs ( if i remember correctly)... but that would not be good if you get into an accident.. hhmmmm...maybe i can fabricate something out of some roll cage tubing...

shaving weight off car = free horsepower!!! :rock:

I was thinking more in the lines like just taking the bumper inserts out and replace it with a tube..it should be lighter than what's there....if the stock crap weighs about 100 lbs..that'll probably shave at least 50-60 lbs off the front end.. hopefully.. :idk:

I still say you have the best setup in ur car... but if you get the stuff you posted on top it will be even better...

BTW guyz.. i emailed the guy that fabs up the stuff that was posted on top and asked him if he does thirdgens... let's see what he says..

always remember its not free horsepower.....its just freeing up horsepower that was already there! lol
mainly its just allowing the whole power to weight ratio work in your favor lol

cause people on other boards were saying that a aluminum driveshaft.....ADDS HP no its dont it FREES up HP that was already there lol
less rotating mass lol

I auctually have some experience fabbing things up like this.... I would make all the templates out of cardboard. The cut sheet metal and weld them together. I would love to start a business, but i need to graduate college first, then play with some ideas when i have my own house and garage. It really is not the hardest thing to fab up...

Hi Scott welcome!! Thanks for joining... One thing i would def. be interested in would be a plate for the firewall that blocks off the heater core and ac holes..little stuff like a radiator support would be nice too...I'm also looking to take weight off the front of my car so i would be interested in what the engine bay tins look like..

a one peice firewall smooth out with some good lookin bead rolls in it for strenght...maybe a chevy symbol in it....

the sides like the stang peices...for camaros and birds should be even easier to make...i have made some a few times....

design a back seat delete for the bottom....

and a trunk delete with hinges on it for the little trunk in the back....

all these are TM but i give you the right to manufacture them if i get 50% <_<
