Default My girl is too fat!!

My vert is a boat, What can I do that doesnt sacrifice looks and perfomance?

I had an idea with Aluminum Driveshaft, Fiberglass fenders and trunk. Anything else?

I cant to weigh close to a Hatch or even a notch.

it would be a pain in the *** but you could take out the motors and such for the top and open and close it manually. but like i said that would be a pain in the *** and thats only if you are really desperate about losing weight. and dont forget that if you do put a glass trunk on it that it is taking weight off where stangs need it the most. taking the weight off the back will make the balance worse than it is already but it sure will make it a little easier to roast those tires!

Yea taking the motor off is considered affecting looks.

coil-over suspension front and rear, tubular K-member and A-arms up front, drop the power steering and the a/c. that would be a pretty significant drop in weight right there.
