As part of my AX weight loss program I removed the bumper "tits" off my 74 today. Thats a good 8-10 lbs gone. Pulled the rear heater fan and few other things too. ...and that firewall insulation mat is incredibly heavy! I'm easily up to 100 lbs + off the car now. The KH header and Supertrapp muffler really shed a ton of weight from the stock system.

Fibergalss decks and bumpers will be here soon too.

I'm starting the South Beach Diet this week as well and hope to lose 50 lbs.

By the end of the season I should easily be down 200 lbs (driver + car) from where I started just last month.

I'm definetly slipping down the slope to a dedicated AX car now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Sa-weet! When I pulled my firewall insulation mat thing, I weighed it (first just me, then me with the mat type of deal) in at 13 pounds!
Look foward to seeing your setup!

PS The best diet in the world has been around for ages. Burn more calories than you consume. In other words, eat the same amount of food you eat now (eat healthy!) and exercise more, or don't eat as much as you do now (eat healthy!) and do the same amount of activity. Just remember, when you're losing weight, you're SUPPOSED to be a little hungry. I lost 50 pounds using this method. It's all about patience and determination. Don't lose more than 3 pounds a week (not good for the body).

Remember that not all weight is fat. If you're exercising, you're probably putting on muscle while you're losing fat. Makes for some interesting scale readings. For instance, I was stuck at/around 190 (currently a good, steady 184 and 6'6") for several weeks because I was putting on muscle weight at the same rate I was burning off fat weight.
