Looking to get front end weight down.

I wonder what those weigh.
With them gone, to what will you bolt the fenders, to keep them from going AWOL at speed? If they go, what's to stop the grill and maybe the hood from also deserting?
If you put some tubing back in to hold everything together........ To me it seems like a lotta work for a few pounds, that your 470 will never appreciate. but what do I know, I'm no racer for a reason,lol.

Hi Aj, Well I think it's around 30 pounds.
It's hard to describe but under the fenders where they bolt to the inner fenderwell I will cut a 1/4 inch under the bend, I believe that will save the strength for fender mounting. That piece is also welded into the core support & firewall.
Over time, money permitting I'll be buying glass fenders. The goal for now is to stay in the low 10.00 time, till I can afford to replace parts for sfi and go faster
