I'll be bringing it to a certified truck scale this September to see where it sits at now, I do have a rough guesstimate on the weight, but will wait to see where it is in comparison to where it's now. This is still a heavy B-body guys. It's all metal, no fiberglass, carbon fiber anywhere.
I would not weigh anything lightweight(under 25,000 LBs) on a truck scale  I weighed my Duster on one of Oregon State Police truck scales with me in it and full of fuel, it weighed 3100 Lbs  I took it to Las Vegas to the track and weighed on the track certified scales and it weighed 3450 lbs with me and the same amount of fuel   Use a good set of race car scales

Much corrected. I could see how it is deceiving being that cars are much much lighter than your average dump truck. I did notice that E-towns scale was off and on the very same day. Fuel was the same as well. Those scales with wood planks may fool themselves if they are wet from a previous rain I've been told.
I will look into some one with accurate car scales here in the NYC area that I may borrow.
Truthfully, based on my previous scale numbers a few years back, I had thought that my car was a lot lighter then what it scaled at.
I mean I've scaled every thing that I have taken off or modified on good digital and mechanical scales to compare. The numbers were dead on between the two types and I've cataloged all the numbers and put them together to see if they matched what the truck,track scales said and not close.

I thought '67's were plastic and '66's metal.

Here is a little factory trick I shouldn't let fly but what the hay.
For all of you 66-67 b-body guys:
The Coronet Deluxe (aka poverty model) used a plastic lower steering column instead of a metal one like the 440/500 models and Charger. Low hanging fruit is the best.
I could be wrong? The plastic piece in my pic came from a '66 Deluxe. Maybe it was a really late car. Thank you for the clarification.

Seat belt mounting bolts were 1/2 pound for all four pieces. Titanium pedigree was a 1/4 pound for all four pieces.

Yo! This just in and NHRA just approved it for competition. The first ever Renold's aluminum foil ultra-liteweight roll-bar assembly. It weighs in at 1/2 pound total and can be hand formed into shape and fitment. LOL.
Don't try this at HOME-track, it's just there for masking while I paint my interior floors/panels. Ultra-trick masking trick it is while painting.
