It helps keeping track of those things for me. The car empty weighes 3799 lbs stock.
So trying to shave off the weight is relatively easy.
I'm a numbers guy too. I want a way to quanify my results. Not just, "I took my passenger seat out. Here we go."
I'd rather have " I removed my passenger seat at a weight savings of XX lbs."
I'm shooting for 3500 lbs empty. So that's a 300 lbs reduction.
So I'm 25% there. Once the block swap is complete, I'll be easily over half way. Then the nit-picking begins.
