How to Lighten up

can someone point me to a thread where someone has lighted up their max to the max? i need the good, bad and ugly info on the subject.

also, chassis stiffening. the do's, don'ts, and what-the-heck-are-you-doing on that too. thanks

background? i have a parts max that is just a shell and rolling chassis, i plan to drop a rebuilt VE in it. it is a 92.

(it has no sunroof! rare?)

I suggest donating or at least use google, there have been plenty of threads regarding weight reduction.

This is an SE you are working on right? You could shorten the car up and remove the back doors, that would save some weight...
