Removal of the rest of #139's underside

No pics from today. 

Removed: fuel tank, fuel lines and rear brake hard lines, all the exhaust hangers, rear tow loops, and the rear bumper assembly.

DAMN the rear bumper was heavy:

  • 39.5lb on my shipping scale for the rear support (went to the scrap steel pile behind the garage)
  • 6lb for the pair of tow loops, also in the scrap
  • 8lb of rear bumper foam! wtf that's heavier than it looks.
  • 3.5lb exhaust heat shield

All that stuff isn't going back on for a nice 57lb of weight loss. Brackets to hold up the rear bumper cover shouldn't weight more than 3 or 4lb.
