Updated Mods List and Project Schedule

[mikelv]

I have decided to post up a progress chart and mods list to see where I stand and what I can do to make myself a nasty little street car. I’m looking to strip some more weight off the car, but as of right now she is 2940lbs with me in it. 2750lbs empty. I still have a few things to remove to hopfully get it under 2700lbs empty. From there I will go to some Fiber Glass and gut more than I can think of. Goal weight of this 2G while still remaining streetable is 2200lbs empty. Not sure if I can but we’ll see. Maybe a smaller fuel cell, lights, panels, parts, glass, dash, side exit ect…but I still would like it to be streetable. Here’s the latest list:
