My mid crossbar on the main Halo is just a tad below the top-back of the Bostrum seats, so those jeep versions should clear the top main Halo bar with no problem. Those jeep versions are a nice breed of both old school and new age seating.
Yeah, I have one of those TIME OUT chairs here also. Just trying to figure out how to make it an ET NO/TIME chair for my car. I'll have to paint 'em black so they'll be stealth LOL.

Seems like Carrol had a BETTER IDEA" before Ford did. Amazing what good old metal smiths can create on top of the AC platform.
Shaping aluminum to me is easier then welding it, so when I retire, I better not learn how to weld aluminum. Oh wait, I forgot, artists never retire, they just rehire themselves. LOL.

Fellas, don't forget the lower fender flat stock shims for alignment. A pack of five or so depending on how many it takes to bring the fender out to line can weigh close to a 3/4 Lb. on each side. Aluminum cuts the fat off by half.
I used plastic shims, even lighter yet and wont corrode. 
Brother, open those boxes and weigh that car. You say soon , very soon, but youve been saying that for almost 2 years.
I think your Scared that your car wont weigh as light as some may think, so your stalling as you take more weight off of it.
Dont worry about that, its the step by step weight loss fab thats more appreciated.
My guess was around 3200# over a year ago from your guess request. I want to know if I nailed it.

You will know.
Trust me that I have not had a true good moment to go over to my grotto and weigh the thing. It takes more time than most would think to do it correctly. The scales are not that tough, but rather sensitive instruments.
Scared! I know that its not as light as it should/would/could seem. I have not touched it even with my eyes. I don't want to fool myself either, but the next weight loss phase after I weigh it and display it here is gonna be extreme within my constraints of a full metal skin. I've pushed it a few times and its hefty. No, I do not have a spool in it, though some times I wish I did for the weight savings.
Who knows 440, you might win the prize.
In the end, I'm shooting,hootin'for a high 20's all steel(*cough*) B-body street car.
Will be back soon, soon, soon, soon, soon....................

We bad news bears have been hibernating the last few months. I've just been too busy to go over to the garage and weigh the thing. Now that there seems to be a thaw in the air and some flexibility on my calender, I will weigh it and myself. Last I looked, I was 175 wet and with keys in my pockets.
I plan to commence on a all out Spring weight break and get a few more pounds off the car. This of course after I weigh it first. Sorry guys, just been busy. My art comes calling.
Heh... you still didn't answer my second part... Ever think ov dieting YOURSELF down to 165...??? Come on man... you'd have a cow if you suddenly found 10lbs sitting somewhere in your car you hadn't thought ov...
So how far do you go, really...??? hahahaa

Okay guys, I'm seeing a little window of hooky time next weekend before the madness starts all over again.
I will go to the Area 51 Grotto and gently set my car wheels on the scales for a grand total surprise either on the happy side of things or sad.
Stay tuned.
I'm optimistic. etc.
Dont worry Lee!, It is what it is! Like all of our cars they are always a work in progress.
