Got the rear seat delete finshed today. Took out about 35lbs. with the seats brackets and seat belts and replaced it with 19lbs. of 1 1/4" square aluminum tubing & Sheet aluminum. Will have to pull the aluminum sheeting to weld the cage in permanant. I hate mocking shit up just to take it out and set it aside for awhile.

A couple pictures of the almost complete inner fender well.. Just need to figure out how I am finishing the aluminum, Don't know if I am going to paint it or bead blast it and give it a satin finish with clear coat.

Got my aluminum for my dash, started installing today here is the passenger side, It's a bitch matching the aluminum to the original dash pad but it will look good when done.
