Lance, I did forget to say that is the weight with out the driver... in case you were thinking the opposite. But I think you saw on FB as well with Ramey.

We've cut some weight and could cut more if needed. The cage will add some weight and a rear end when we do that.

Wow, it's pretty light...real light in fact. Over 300 pounds lighter than Barney.
Agreed on both counts. I wish I wasn't so stinkin far away from all you mid west and south easters. Would love to race with another G body at some event, so far I'm always the only one there.

That is light! My wagon with a very stripped engine bay weighed 3550 without me. That includes an 8 pt cage, boxing the frame and about all the same style bracing as the Green Machine. Man, I gotta put my portly car on a diet somehow. Luckily I'm a small fry feather weight, only about 135 so I suppose that helps.

The car looks better every time I see it. Good luck with the new parts.

Well I am trying to get back to keeping the UMI build threads updated and I have been slacking on this one. So I will start with most recent and might through in a few things from last year that we missed.

Right now we are working on running 315s square on the car. For the back we are notching the frame and rolling the fenders. We are working on offering a frame notch kit as a new product. You can see in the photo below we started with a hand trimmed piece of cardboard as a template then trimmed a few cardboard pieces on the laser to dial in. Next up is metal cutting.

More 315 action on the UMI Monte. We used our new notch kit and welded the frame back shut, it turned out well. We took the Forgestars with 315s off our 4th gen and used a bunch of different spacers along with our wheel tool to mount them on the car. These combined with our homemade wheel tool helped us to dial in the wheel size.
