Thread: roll cage/ gutted interior

Rear Steel bumper support is removed, the front support has a pretty big peice cut off of it for my Frozen boost FMHE. Everything in the truck in gone that I could pull out as well.

I still have all my panels in the car, since they do not weigh a whole lot, plus it makes the car look nicer with them in place. I still have speakers in the door, so I can listen to tunes when I do drive it on the street. I have a full dash still as well. I think that is all that I can remember off the top of my head.

The only problem is, is I hope with my new build that I will dip into the low 11's, but that means I will have to put a cage in, and I will be back to where I was, with the added weight. But that is ONLY if I can get there..........

Have you weighed it?

Because I dont buy 400-500 lbs of weight reduction with a few interior pieces.

Yes I have and I dont buy it either.

I realize now that in my first sentence that it comes across as just interior parts, but if you read on in my responce I list everything else that I have taken off the car that I can remember taking off. The last time that I weighed it at the track it was 3050 with me OUT of the car.
