[Shotimes] Sr 72 weight

[Donald Mallinson]

You get all the insulation under the carpets/seats? It is 
usually painted and you can miss it.

Don't remember about what all you have done, but is there an 
aluminum radiator?  How about lightweight racing bucket 
seat.  Inner fenders?  Bracing under the hood/trunk lid?

Remove headlights and replace with aluminum sheet?  A/C 
radiator?

dash still there?  it can be tossed, don't need a speedo on 
a track car.  REmove any wiring from stuff now gone, wire 
weighs a lot, but doesn't look very heavy.

Did you look underneath for the factory hold-down loops? 
there are two under the rear seats that just unbolt.  two on 
the rear bumper assembly (did you remove the stuff behind 
the plastic bumpers?) struts.  There is a pound or two.

Doing good, this should be a beast when done.  Mike 
Courtney's SHO was about as radical as I have seen, but I 
don't remember if he ever told me what it weighed.
