Brakes?? you wanna take some weight out with brakes? try a full 50lbs over stock right here, plus QA 1 bottom arms and strut bars and dillenger tie rods
Not trying to be argumentative but you might be missing the subtlety of the ideas here. This is not about ordering parts from a catalog but rather thinking of ways to engineer a total package within a narrowly focused way of thinking. Such dedication requires strict adherence to an idea along with true vision.
Agreed, 99.9% of the people doing these type of modifications to a car would probably do what you did and order up some lightweight parts, me included. It's 2013, who thinks to CREATE NEW aluminum drum hubs for a '65 Dodge? That's not something you see every day. Again, executing something like that takes dedication to a singular idea.
This is the essence of hot rodding, trying to improve on a platform with new and unexpected ideas.
