Stan,
I've been looking for tsomething like this ever since we took the plasma cutter to the frame to lose about 250lbs. (includes custom k member and front bumper)
If you want a test mule (drag type) give me a call at the shop and maybe we can get something going.

Don't know why. With a new lighter Kmember and most of the cutting done before the tranny, its not as bad as it probably sounds. Its also braced with the 4link in the rear and the cage, but I think a little more bracing might help out with the chasis stiffening.
