I thought it was cheap too, but I think he'll be a pikey and use steel

It's not really being done for the lightness, but I think he should make it lighter while he can.

why?

Are you bracing it to keep the shell rigid?

Fitting a new fuel cell/bag rather than tank?

I cant seel why you are doing it to be honest doesnt seem to be for weight (its a pretty integral part of the car to remove )

so why ?

Also, nice boots and overalls Wouldn't like to get 6000 degree molten metal on my feet!

I'm not really that impressed with plasma cutters. Used to use them when I was a fabricator.
