    it's doing something, I would replace the end bushings and look for weight savings elsewhere.

      I know its a tight fit with a car-seat and a fox-vert with the top up. lol. When we took my granddaughter for rides in the vert, she would be blown away from being over the windshield line. She got a kick out of it. But now that she is five she can ride in the little booster seat.
      he is 4 will be 5 at the end of Nov. so 5 is the magic booster seat number?

          But I agree with that saying. Hence Juans SS that was swiss cheesed & was a 6.80 car with just cam only & a 6spd at that. Of course this wasnt a car his kid rode in either
          It's a GT vert, it's not going to run a 16.80 let alone a 6.80. lmao.

              Lol, well then you are good to go with just a booster seat. Or maybe just let him drive and you ride in the back.

                Here's mine, made template using cardboard from flat screen tv box, transfered to aluminum, covered in 1\2 dense poly-foam, and carpet. Doubt I saved any weight, but didn't have back seats anyway, and like being in easy reach of the bottle. Switches control heater on each bottle. Should be a whole lot easier doing something similar in my 98 Gt since the rear seats recess, thinking of doing a single sub in lower panel on one side and the other side opening for a storage compartment. The Roll bar make the rear seats pretty well useless in that car now.

                    RSDs are a complete waste of time and money. If you do anything wood wise over 1/4 inch you will weight the same. All the weight is in the frame that holds the upper part of the seats. Take it out and velcro the seats to the car.

                      If you need large pieces of cardboard for a template, try going by Lowes. We got some from them for a mock up at work. Got some funny looks asking for it, but they were happy to get rid of it.
