did a bit more stripping...underdrive crank pulley is in place...need to get the right belts now

doors gutted...leaving the bars in...probably only saving 10lb if I cut them out...a little added protection is worth the 10lb.

re-installed heater box...a/c evap gone, all vents locked to defrost only...can't race if you can't see.

new p/s cooler installed...should do the trick...just hanging in place right now, too ugly for a picture

glass and reg/motor are only 10.35lb...but inner trim panel, all rubber seals, wiring harness, metal run channels chunk of upper frame and inner skin were another 21lbs....so 31lb off each door.

skinned the trunk this afternoon...7lb for the skin plu one for the latch....hinges and springs to come out next...could have taken a bit more but I want a bit of structure still on the lid for when it comes on and off for storage.

also a little find from my friends at MDA Fabrication...had an old set kicking around...just what I needed.
