I think the notchback fix's can get under 3000lbs without a ton of weight reduction. I want to say it can be done with the full interior but don't quote me on that. I DO know, I weighed in at 3575# a couple weeks ago.

This was a previous post on here a long time ago....
ok lets start
11-15 smog pump and parts removal. the weight will be disputed
8- dog bone- weight under your rear
7- jack and tire iron
4- floormats
25- spare tire
40- side impact beams in doors
5.5- trunk carpet and board
8- these brackets that are behind the rear wheels. its a rubber wedge with pipes
5- carbon canister
18- a/c blower/heater core
36- a/c compressor and lines
5- condensor
30- from switcing form the stock h to a MAC ORH
4- quad shocks. if you get LCAs you dont need these.
10- strut tower brace
17- front sway bar with mounts
??- ABS brackets
??- cruise controll stuff
??-rear spoiler
3- front wheel well covers
37- rear seat delete <http://www.yellowmustangregistry.com/RSDK.html>
if you leave the hole it is even lighter. I personally made my own rear seat delete and left the bottom cushion in the car. It weighs only a couple pounds and my 6'6 friends can still ride in the back. Doing half a rear seat delete gives the back seat passengers 3-4 inches more much needed leg room.
10- empty your windshield wiper fluid reservoir. it is not heavy enough to warrant removal. it weighs a pound. I converted my reservoir to work as a catch can for my radiator and eliminated the overflow tank and brackets. This was worth at least 5 pound savings
??- Miscelaneous brackets - there are several brackets that are a pound or less all over the car./ you will find you dont need these. I just remove as I find them.
the metal bracket under the steeing column.
the bracket in the center console box
in the kick panel by the computer
Wallet mods:
tubular K stock is 58 an aftremarket will weigh 18-26 pound
A arms stock are 26 pounds together after market will weigh about 10-12
aluminum heads expect 48+ pounds weight savings
Drive shaft- stock is 22 FRPP is 12. this is also rotational mass, so small power gains can be seen.
Coilovers- stock springs are 9 a piece while coilovers are 5-6
Prostars- will also reduce rotational mass
8- 15x3.5
12- 15x12

Yeah I was in it @225 lbs along with a 50lb sub box and another 25 or so lbs of JUNK in the back seat and trunk.
Man, thanx for that response. Smog pump and , and dog bone are gone and the other parts, well...
I do plan to move the battery. I know same weight but diff. place. Im thinkin some summit seats. Id like to get a weight on those vs. stock. Ill be getting a higher stall converter, and hopefully if I get a 10" instead of the stock piece (12-13" I think) it should weigh less. Driveshaft is def. in the picture too.

There's quite a bit to take off in that list eh...some things are a little less reasonable than others (side impact beams) but hey, if you're building a track machine....
I'm rid of my A/C, Smog Pump, spare tire, Rear Seat (although I countered the weight with stereo...but thats easily removeable) and a few other things..
