I'm repainting mine white for the cooling, but also because white hides many imperfections that will be left over from scraping plus white is very easy to touch up.

Ski, when I asked how much weight was saved I was thinking about just the sound deadening and adhesive goop on the floor. Any idea on that?
682# out of your race car is a bunch. Just like adding 70 Hp at the rear wheels.

Wow! The final product looks great! Just to be clear, you didn't drop 682# from removing the tar alone, correct? If not, what other things did you do and how much did removing the tar contribute?

No
not just from the insulation, as stated, I mis read. All the elec motors, no door glass, window regulators, A/C system, exhaust, headlight assy, interior panels, any wiring associated with above, sunroof cables, and swapped a few parts for fiberglass ones.
