I'm familiar with how much a Ti bike frame costs, I imagine the cost for a set of headers is mind-boggling.

Ti headers? Probably cost ineffective.
The weight can be shaved else where. There are hundreds if not thousands of miniscule places to safely shave that ounce.

Smokes?

I know, I know. they're not really so stock looking, but maybe close enough with some satin black to hide their real MO. These babies saved 5 Lbs off the suspension between the pair.

Passenger side apron just finished in epoxy sealer and then sanded down for a few ounces off. LOL.
Will be riding around with primer for a NY minute this season. Just no leaning up on them. Now I'll know the feel of those guys with fragile panels on their cars.[img:center]http://[/img] [img]http://[/img]

Fender and new Braile battery go in hopefully this weekend and then car comes off the horses. Wanna fire up, tune revised Thumper carb before it starts getting hot around these parts. I'm banking for the low 3000's lb mark by Summers end and then next Winter will see the last push for 2999 mark.

Well, I'm shooting to bring the car to Detroit's Woodward cruise and possibly get some track time at Milan.
Since I will be in town for a little bits, I figured I'd install some additional lightweight goodies during down time there. Will keep you'll posted.
Time waits for no man.

I lost 40 pounds since the middle of April walking 4 miles, 5 days a week and watching carbs. 40 plus more to go and it cost me NOTHING. LOL

I can't afford Ti, but I can afford holes. I've been drilling like crazy on everything that's getting bolted back on.........

Be careful where you frag and make holes. Some stuff needs to be left alone for strength.

While in Detroit with some down time, I made a few strides in my quest for the sub 3000 LB mark.
This is the stock smokers box.

Like I said before, If I were a smoker, I'd be puffing the Marlboro Lights. LOL.
All aluminum outer skin.

And the scale said....................

By the way, so far with both Woodward 98 degree cruzin' a little 1/8 mile runs and City driving back here under my belt, the all aluminum exhaust tubing and muffs are not melting away. In fact, it has quieted down the car substantially.
Silver Bullet should had done this back when instead of four Cadillac mufflers.
Note the trans crossmember.

What do you guys think this is going to become??????

Glove box door?

You got it!
It will be 1/2 pound when I'm finished with it from a poultry 3 Lbs stock.

Top version is an already lightened unit weighing a whopping 1-1/2 pounds. Works just like a stock unit with working lock and all.

This and the smokers box will find their way into the dipped dash face this Winter.

Look at what I was following while in Detroit and was ready to high jack it and the Troopers saved him. LOL.

Nice work FMJ - what grade of alum is the exhaust tubing ?
