Sounds like quite a list
Would love to see pictures as things progress

I was thinking some front skirts on the front splitter
to the fenders. Aka Z06 style. Have not got that far yet
Trying to keep CAM class for rear splitter but will more than
likely do a larger one also

Good stuff. Keep us posted

Was also wondering your car weight?
Trying to lighten mine

My car was 3500 before the safety upgrades. Probably about 3750 after. During the current project I've removed a few things like the HVAC and more factory sound deadening but added metal to the front/rear firewalls and done a bunch of chassis stiffening plus added weight with aero parts so I'll guess it'll be up over 3800. The next engine/trans will be lighter and then we'll see what happens after that.

I'll get around to updating my project thread but till then here's a pic of some prototype parts I made for the front during mock up. Might give you some ideas.

Default headlights

Were the headlights made for any F-body or were they a universal number?

Nice! I have one that goes under the car. Looks almost like another sway bar until you realize it's welded in.
