Well, as we all know, the coming of the New Year causes us to consider weight loss. Yes, I’m all in! Let me tell you how my track car lost 225 pounds in 30 days.
It started with a review of all the heavy items on the car that could be removed or replaced. Using my corner balance scales, here are some interesting numbers (note- # equals pounds):
Starting weight – 2501#
Front bumper – 30#
Rear bumper – 24#
Sunroof – 12#
Door – 38# (Stripped) 58# (Complete, with windows)
Hood – 42#
Rear hatch – 54#
Passenger seat – 26#
Headlight assy – 6#
I went to local metal supply house and purchased three 4′ x 8′ sheets of 1/16″ thick aluminum. About $225. A full 4×8 sheet weighs 14#. I started with the rear bumper. I started there because my metal shaping skills are only marginal and I wanted to get up to speed on an area that was not so obvious. Here is the result. 5# installed!

Interesting comparison.
This lister shaved 225 pounds off his car (about as half as much as you claim) and had to replace doors, bumpers, hatch and sunroof with sheet aluminum yet you get to keep doors and bumpers and loose 225 kilos, not just pounds. Nice.
