Put the 2nd. batt. back in and here`s the #`s;
l.ft. 741 r. ft. 827
l. r. 781 r. r. 657
So it looks like I`ve got my work cut out................ 
That looks to me to be 3006lbs, My 3039lbs looks pretty close. I wish mine was that light.

After shaking the car around and letting it settle it looks like this; w/me total 2967 lbs.
l.ft. 758 r.ft. 819
l.r. 759 r.r 631 The rear #`s just looked jacked to me and thaught it was posted here to get the rear #`s withih 30-40 lbs. 
That's even better, If I'm with in 300 lbs of that I'd be happy.

These bolts can be expensive. I've priced them with just a few vendors that were willing to even talk to me about such a task of machining them. Trick Titanium was one of them and it was expensive per bolt. They are not regular store grade bolts in size, shank shape, strength etc.
I think they were to be $25.00 per bolt or some thing like that.
I believe my four only cut off 1/2 a pound or so, but my madness was full blown as Hemi-itis says.
These bolts are special and if you are going to have them on your most important frontend segment, The K, then they should be made the right way like to ones from prochargedhemi here. After all, they do hold up the K member itself to the front longitude frame.
Be crazy out there, but be realistic and practical to a certain extent.
Note the aluminum crush cone washers on the strut rods.

I guess that this K could lose another 2 Lbs or so by trimming off the side lips and close welding the two half's together for strength.
It does look like an original untouched K to the fast moving eye though.
But now since getting off a plane, I just noticed that you have trimmed the lips off and it looks very nice from this point.
It would be sooooooo nice to have a factory lightweight stainless K, but at $14.500K, those K's are a little out of my league. LOL.
