Dino,

Blacksheep was on this thread and I imagine he might chime back in if for nothing more than to let you know wise choice to not drill out seam welds. I know in reading some of his beneficial posts that you are 100% correct in the fact that you would have decreased your torsional and chassis stiffness. Good move and keep us posted on how light you get down to?

Drilling out welds is a no go for weight savings, you'll find a lot of weight in gutting the doors and lexan windows.
