Topic: Adding by subtracting?
So I plan on racing HMS Titanic (otherwise known as a Jaguar XJ-S V12) IT seems that things removed never break down and add to the performance by subtracting weight.
Just How far can I go?
I mean a couple of sawzall blades aren't terribly expensive and with them I could remove a lot of weight. I know you high tech guys have things like Plasma wrenches that make short work of it. However as a practicing memember of the luddite society (and being noteably cheap besides) Such High tech wizardry is beyond me..
Can I remove the doors and simply put the doorskin back in place? Same with the bonnet (Hood for non-anglophiles) boot (Trunklid)
Even better could I make a simple splash mold and sell off the bonnet, boot and doors and replace them with fiberglas panels? (a Buddy owns a fiberglas shop and I could come in at night and use his chopper gun)
IF that sounds too high tech I can do simple hand layups and achieve the same thing.. (only they would be lighter and stronger than chopper gun parts..
What are the limits on DIY wizardry?
