The carpet that Year One sells is way lighter than the factory carpet and is cut to fit too.

WOW

If I wasn't going to bring it home only to cut holes in it I might do that, but I have to make provsions for the cage.


Chris ARE 360 went to Home Depot and got carpet for $35 US and did his whole car. Thats probably more my speed, especially for when I mess up the cuts

This was for my 1999 Camaro Stocker. It has an eight point rollbar. If you think the carpet was expensive you would die if you new what I spent on the rest of the car!! But, it sure is pretty!!

Best Regards,

Daren

Take all your interior panels out, and use a 1" hole saw to swiss cheese every piece of metal in sight! Works for airplanes, and all those little holes add up. Also remove the door beams (30-50 lbs each).
An optima style dry cell weighs less than a regular battery..
Don't just take out the bumper support, get that beam and the shocks also.

I feel bad for you guys, my 68 weighs 3050 w/ driver, and carpet, full cage, 2 Jaz seats.. even a radio! One day, I'll get a full chrome moly tube chassis and get it down to 2500 or so street weight!
