So far I've got 500 pounds out and weighed. About another 100 pounds in the garage awaits the scale.
I'm estimating another 150 pounds easy from various sources can still come out as I haven't even gotten around to pulling the AC system or emissions even yet. Plus a 30 pound reduction from ditching the stock hood (44 pounds vs 14). The down side is the 100 or so that I have to put back in in terms or lightened stock seats and belts, gauges. Oh, and the nitrous bottle is another 20 pounds to drag around. I don't think I'll quite make my target weight at this point. But I do think I can sneak it under 2400 pounds. I'll try to get a pic up in all it's ugliness here soon. Just wait till I paint the exterior it's planned FLAT black. Every last person I've mentioned it too has tried to talk me out of it.  Who knows, maybe I'll even drive it some day.

Sounds like fun!
 Just be careful with that thing, with that much weight reduction, there has to be some comprimises in structural integrety. Are you planning on putting a roll bar/cage in it at any time? -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
