Thanks Dave.

I see your point its really not that much weight. I have a friend that has a cutting torch and he is going to come over and help me get all the sheet metal off. Its all Bolted on to the cast iron frame and all the nuts and Bolts are rusted. I think if i use this i will just do it once. at least the metal underbelly should last as long as the car.

I may have under guessed the weight of the sheet metal its pretty thick but i think the Aero i get from this will more than make up for the weight, especialy at speeds or 40 mphs and above.

I notice on coast downs the car really slows down fast to about 30 mpgs the it sees the wind doesnt slow it down to 20 nearly as fast. I still havent done a grill block and need to do that as well. I wanted to make sure i was getting all the results i could with just my driving first.

Thanks Don
