        Are you having the whole underside of the body cut out like the racecraft stang? or keeping stock floor pans?
        They are doing the 25.3,seat mount,chute mounts. im doing everything else.
        The floor will be stock, what they do with it I dont care. They can cut the fucking roof off also I dobt give a shit as long as its badass when its done and they weld it back on.
        rear trunk will be carbon fiber, motor pkates only need tabs so ill do that and the rear end is done and sitting in my garage

          sounds like you may be adding weight to get to 3200lbs. I'm close to 3200lbs without all that. I could still remove some weight if needed.

Thats a hard pill to swallow! Once you get it back from them your gonna have your work cut out for ya! thats still a ass pile off work, good luck.
              shouldnt be too bad as i can do a buch of fit work on the orange car, all they will have its the shell. everything else ill have so i can work on it while they do the chassis

                im hoping to sit at sub 3000 with me in it, as its easier to remove now. also i can add and move weight to make the car 100% right.
                i might also add a large intercooler and thats a solid 100lbs also

                    Shouldnt be too hard considering you weigh about 80lbs.

                            My billet sbc, maybe a set of cfe monster 18° heads and 40psi from a pair of 88mm turbos would be a cool handfull

                              Sounds like a badass plan, don't mean to be full of questions. but what's going to power teh O88? ankle biter setup?
