So todays progress on project Cerberus was more weight reduction. I picked one off the list that I could tackle in a couple hours, so i tackled the headlight buckets. There is a little over a pound of excess metal that can be removed from each headlight bucket. I used a body saw for the bulk...
I'm still debating on the trans. This thing still has to be a truck, so it had to be able to tow. I know the 48re can be built for the power, but I'm still debating on an 8 speed auto swap from a newer model truck.

Did some more weight reduction work today, figured I would post some more weights. Some of this stuff is pretty small, maybe not worth your time, but I put in the work for some stuff I haven't seen done here yet.
first, the amp. most people in a quest for weight reduction just remove it. But I...
