Crazy weight reduction

I have two bodies for my Skyline. One of them is going to be the "show" body and the other one is for racing, and generally just having fun and tearing up. On the latter, I went crazy with the dremel to reduce the weight, and it makes a pretty noticeable difference.

Here's a pic.

Making it into a convertible would reduce the weight alot but it would also make a rollover alot more devastating.
