I got the car for so cheap that I don't mind modding it past the point of no return, hence the lack of interior and the bondo. A car is just like the tens of thousands of other models just like it until you put your time and effort into it to make it your own, that's what I'm doing! I like my cars to stand out in the crowd.
Anyhow..tomorrow I will remove the mechanical fan and finally wire up the electric fan to a switch since it hasn't worked since I got the car. Not only will it free up a minuscule amount of engine power, it will remove another few pounds from the front of the car. Most of the weight I have removed has been at the dash and back so it is much lighter in the back now. I'm going to relocate the battery to the trunk space as soon as I can buy the wire. That will definitely help equalize the front/rear weight distribution as the battery is easily 30 plus pounds.
I'll likely do the lower grille block tomorrow since it is as simple as wrapping the plastic inserts in dark plastic sheet or some other thin material. The car likes to overheat at the moment since the electric fan does not work so I'm going to check to see if the electric fan will be enough to cool the engine alone before doing a partial upper block.
