[removing a california Z widebody]

ok so i am trying ot part out my drag car and it has what i am told is a california Z wide body kit. now i know i can simply un bolt the front fenders but my question is can i some how remove the fender flares in the rear??? not the best pic but at least you can get an idea what i am talking about.

any advise on how to get it off?? thanks

[guess on weight??]

has any one removed the dash, heater core hvac ect??? it seems that the dash it a heavy mofo. how much weight would it be worth??

The stock fenders and quarters are steel. However, you have got some nice Jim Cook Racing fender flares. Car looks the business, just hope you'll be getting her there soon

Those tires are big hope your planning on making some serious HP.

shooting for 650 rwhp with a lq4 and a 75mm s400 on e-85.. i am hoping that will do the trick:icon6:

it is taking me a bit to find them all but here are some more.....btw the dyno session was a complete waste of time the car ran like tottal crap and only made 265rwhp/275 rwtq car felt like is was running on 5 cyl. but i guess thats what i get for trying to get the car ready the morning of the dyno event lol ( by morning i mean 3am)

i am sure this is a newb question but are the factory fenders steel or fiberglass?

basicly from the seats back is all aluminum sheet metal. my goal it to be at 2700 race weight with removing all of the dash and heater core hvac ect and yes those big ass bumpers have to go.....there isnt much to see on the roof the dude who built it thought it was a good idea to cut out the roof i will be welding that back in before spring...i dont have much for good pics sorry...

ok so it is the dead of winter and getting my car to a scale would be about impossible. i have searched a little with no straight answer....

i have a 280z with a narrowed 9'' 31/18.50/15 and skinnies iron head 355 with a power glide. the rear of the car is all aluminum flooring. and it still hase the big ass steel bumpers:rolleyesg what kind of weight do you guys think i am at???? my guess was around 2800... your thoughts??? thanks...
