That is a post I made about the reductions I have made. Lots of places in a foxbody to drop the weight.

heads, k member, f-glass hood, wheels, at least the front for drag racing, pass seat, ac, emissions(don't know what you have left), also the actual bumper and accessories if racing, but if driven then leave on. If you're fat, you can lose some weight lol.
