    I was keeping track of the weight I took off, then had to interrupt the project with other things and now working out at the other shop again and managed to lose the notebook I had everything written down in. I was really surprised how much the rear hatch and bumpers weighed, so naturally I threw them away!!!! The steering box and all the tie rods, etc weigh about 5 times as much as the aluminum rack that replaced them and on and on. Once I get started I just can't seem to stop!!!!!

    Big problem now, as usual I have money wrapped up in about 5 different projects and have to get one done and sold so I can work on the next!!!!!! Maybe I'll learn someday, but I doubt it!!!!!


    \How much weight would the aluminum block save??????
