Good work as usual............. I can still get another 40+ lbs. off of the ft w/tires and windshield and a few other areas I saw............

Here's another little but effective gem.
Jegs sells these under their Light weight filter bases and lids. The aluminum carb stud I made from 5/16 aluminum rod and then threaded the ends for the butterfly nut which is also aluminum from stock car archives.

HHHMMMMM..... Your not close on either side of the pendulum.

It's a B-body. I had to work a lot for little, but will reach my objective.

Nope.
As far as getting a correct weight, I'll have to wait to get a set of four corner scales because these track scales are prone to being wrong at times. I trust certified truck scales much better and I'll have to pay one a visit here in Brooklyn real soon.

I`d do the four corner deal to get real #`s and play around till your happy........................so, if I`m off of both ends then my guess is around 3320 lbs.

Nope.

The reason is seems that I'm creating treason here is that there were a few instances where the weight was confirmed, then the car acquired more weight then it lost it with another modification, so I really want to know the real on the real numbers myself, Basically, I don't even know at this moment. I will though.
But in the mean while, I do have a number that was shown to me last year at Maple Grove and I just want to make sure it is correct, but then again, here I go again with some other tricks that may throw those numbers off again. Insanity. LOL.

Keep up the guesstimates. A little prize is in the mail for whom the tell-tale tolls.

Can`t wait...............and yes, insanity would probably best describe the things us gear heads do in other peoples minds for sure. Off to celebrate my b-day and I just finished up the ft. end work needed and I`ll get it alinged next week and figure out which track to hit. Crazy but six years ago today I was sittin in a jail cell beat up by S.W.A.T. after my drink was spiked and I`m feeling real blessed to be around for another one...............peace!

Have a great Birthday.

Going back to my exhaust, I will soon have it all together with the new lightweight mufflers constructed out of aluminum. Should only weigh under 20 Lbs from collectors to just before the rear end. Chris over at Unobtanium welding is building them. His work is meticulous and beautiful just as Bondo Bob's.

This is one of my future plans as well...............what brand alum. muffs r u goin 2 use and will they work in my situation w/side exit exhaust w/fenderwell`s..........

FMJ = N/T & N/W

They will be custom two of two made based on the Dynomax ultra flo straight through designs except that they will be in aluminum. Trying to keep this pup semi-quiet on the streets. Maybe he will make them as a limited series to sell to other cats as well.
They are a little hefty on the wallet, but some people have paid more for stainless muffs that are really heavy on the wallet aside from the chassis.
There are other alternatives out there but I'm going for every bit that I can. The bullet Vibrant's are super light, but may not muffle enough to drive the streets.
On the note of mufflers, consideration should be taken when designing the muffler body itself since there is a lot of air streaking under the chassis. The more aerodynamic the muff, the better.

FMJ=AKA ET, ASAP.LOL.

What's up PD?

By the way, I goofed off a little with the trans member tonight at my studio and it is coming out rather nice. Wish I had the welder handy right there and then, but of course I would never get my lively hood done.
By the other way, the sheet of flat stock 17" x 12" tempered 6061_T6 0.90 Aluminum only cost me $40.00. Will show case flicks when I finish it and ready to install.

Here are a few things I've done for my 68 Road Runner.

Lighten the dash frame. Cut off all the tabs, extra metal, and drilled holes behind anything that got covered up.

Aluminum strut rods, and LCA's from a car without a sway bar.
