The front clip will go on a diet also, the inner fender wells will be removed, and all the structure for the front bumper will be stripped out. The bumper cover will be left in place so the car (when put back together) will look stock. This thing must weigh 200 pounds
PB010057_small  The hood is hung on the wall out of the way. It will also go on a diet.
PB010058_small  This will be missing next weekend if all goes well. Stay tuned.
