Oh, btw, the site looks great. i like the conceptual art of the 93 car. ;-)

Flattery will get you everywhere... if you're running a carb, making weight is a piece of cake. If you're going EFI (due to more wiring, etc) you need to pick through the yards on the older cars to find some of the lighter parts. Remember, you're not going to do it in one shot, it's more like 8 ounces here, one pound there, and it adds up. Also, you have to strip the car to the extent of the rules, and then add back from there until you get to the weight you want (or add more cage). Also, you an actually get a pretty good diagonal weight balance if you pick and choose carefully. You should look at the layout of a 79-82, then look at a 87-93. You'll see a lot of subtle differences that all add up. And remember that the base shell is different in weight from the early cars to the later ones. My old car dropped over 200lbs, and none of it came off quick or easy, but it all came off. Happy hunting!
