where in north dallas do you live man? i live in fort worth and have a decent shop/garage you could use if you wanted. i go to SMU a lot to visit my brother, if you go there gimme an email and you can use the shop.

screw the parts im down for some helium, once you filled the cab you could put an o2 tank to breathe thru one of those helmets with the tube attached or some thing then you may need to add weight! A wing to help create downforce!!!!! The o2 tank is key otherwise we would all be talking like smurfs for weeks!

wow, this went nowhere. I'll weigh the stock control arms w/ balljoints to see if DJM's are any lighter.

The DJM 2" lower control arms 20lbs. each. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
A scale would probably be a good idea. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think one of you guys should strip it down to justa frame and go have it acid dipped...20% and then put it back together, with only things you need. I'm sure you could lose 1000plus pounds...

Hell, if I'm pulling everything off it's going back on a tube frame. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I didn't think the acid dipping process ate the steel. I thought it ate everything but, the steel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

No you tell them what percentage you want to lose and the dip it for a certain time and it reduces that amount of metal...
