They should give me another stick in Demonic mode so I can scrape the rear bumper.

looks like they went up in price


Thanks for the info. I was unable to find if they made the smaller headlight for a Challenger. This would be good weight savings for the race car.

Great research Itis.
Now, lets not scale back on our efforts here.

They would have to scale those inner block walls like the Normandy cliffs to take off 50 Lbs.
Though on a sliding scale of 1 to 10, that block can take a magnitude 7.0 shake on the Richter scale.

When you showed I look at again and seen the I didn't level the scale. The new weight is 8 lbs 7 oz. Here a another pic of the scale. And yes I also have a wood shop and that is where the drill press is at so the scale is there to see hoe much weight I'm removing.

Mine is made in Mississippi and with good craftsmanship.
Come on guys, break out your best scales and show 'em on the glass.
I've got one in reserve for the last close to chest card move. LOL.


You know... i was just going to post about scales... seeing as you guys are getting down to a 1lb difference in starters.

Just thought i should mention that using a bathroom scale is NOT an accurate way to weigh non-human-sized items and beings. It just doesn't work, and can easily make or break your 1lb obsessions.

I use a calibrated dairy scale, goes to 60lbs, and you hang it, and it has a hook on it. Even then were are splitting hairs past 0.1lbs, but its enough for what i need. I've seen people (at gyms) weigh plates and such on gym scales (like in Hemi-itis' post) for years, and they can be as far as 5lbs off a 45lb item, while being relatively accurate when a person uses it.

Dont use people scales.

Just do what i did and keep it under 2 liters. Yeah... might get a bit hot, but if you build a loud enough exhaust you wont hear any ov the engine drama...

Did you know you can actually run a 440 on 1.5 liters ov oil? Did you also know that a 440 will still run at 400 degrees? Kudos to the factory engineers.

Carry on.

No people scales is correct.
I also have an ounce scale that pegs out at 3 Lbs for the little stuff.
If you run straight 10 weight oil right when you start the engine, it's lighter then when it gets hot at 10/30 weight. LOL.

if people scales weigh people correctly, what happens if said "people" hold part and get on scale, then set part down and get back on scale, subtracting the difference ? would that get a closer part weight ?

Not sure. We tried that cheat the other night, but the scale that has now met its maker was still inconsistent.
Most heads will only use a bathroom scale for such endeavors, but a serious effort should both include a proper commercial scale and digital car scales to get corner weights, front and rear weights aside from the overall weight totals.
