I agree with Wize. My Jack-0 Lee diet plan for the most part has been thoroughly from the B-pillar just behind the doors towards the front. I figured that on an early B-body the CG is just about where the back of the front seats would be bolted.
I keep away from drilling away too much or any material at all from structurally important areas, especially rear quarter panels and roof pillar panels. Just look at the 63' Pontiac "Cheese" cars and the Mopar AFX cars of 65'
What's left to do is: I much rather make the part myself (with a little help from my friends) from exotic metals or save my dimes for the factory lightweight stuff.
Some pictures to come.




Don't forget the seats. Some unobtainium lightweight seat frames, packing crate foam, and some scrap aluminum. You end up with these, 19lbs each including the floor mounts. Hey by the way you could always make a second set of "home made light weight parts" and send them to me,Ha Ha.
