Thats more like it!! Its like feeding a Pitbull a sausage link instead of a big bloody steak!! Car is freakin sexy!! How much weight do you want to hack off of it? Are you doing custom paneling, or are you going to try to put some of your stock interior in there? Like the door panels and etc...

way the cage is now i basically have a tube chassis, the body is pretty much now held up by the cage, so i can do anything to it with out affecting it really, im gonna try to make the body like a exoskeleton
