Thumper corrects us well right where we sit. He started it and I'm just an accomplice.
Hemi-itis, your condition is fully blown, but all of us on this thread are fully prone to cut the fat right to the bone. LOL.

Got my wilwood drag brakes to replace the wilwood streets and my new battery.

Down 75lbs

I have a game plan for next thing. .050 stainless exhaust with v bands to remove muffler. I want to put better mufflers on it for the drive but they weigh 11lbs each

Right now i have .065 aluminized exhaust with bullets

That's A LOT. Are the street brakes much lighter than the drag ones or is that mostly in the battery?

FMJ,your a poet & uknowit violin

I could afford to loose a few lbs.One of the things I was thinkin was eliminating the accumulator, BUT
A guy we know who is in the know says NO! work

Not gunna get carried away,but a few pounds couldn't hurt.

Dom,you started a little fire,FMJ dumped 10 cords of dry,seasoned light weight WOOD Santa2

I bet if we all put our heads together here we could help Al get his car down to 3,850 without driver.

Joining in on the madness... Spent an hour or so after work knocking an idea that has been floating around my head for a few years.

Replicated the stock inner door handles in 063" Alum. I'm not the Alloy Artist that FMJ is, but I do alright.

Still needs some finishing touches and polishing.

Net savings: 1/4 lb...I suppose I could have just as easily left the spare change at home...haha

Im down 75 lbs since Drag Week. The drag brakes are 8 lbs lighter than the vented rotor street brakes. I have lost around 20 lbs of unsprung weight off the front of the car. The battery accounts for 19 lb loss

Thought that might have been a lot for brakes and a battery, thanks for clarifying. 10" drum spindle?

Naah, I got small bolt pattern. Got too much in my crummy SSBC brakes to change 'em now anyway. Calipers are light though with small rotors. Car stops I guess.

Hemi-itis, you know the warning, never leave a Christmas tree lit and leave home.LOL.
I guess we all on here are having a condition fully blown.
We will eventually get a few parts on your tank removed or redone to lift some weight off your back.
Let me get through a few hurdles that just landed on my lap.

Outlawd. Now that's what is going to make you fall more in love with your car then anything else. Neat idea and good craftsmanship.
They should polish up pretty good with some elbow grease and patience and look stock. It is with those little things that will make the car that more special and lighter.
Keep it up. I love it.
Can't wait to show you guys the finished and polished up aluminum inner door handles for my car. So far it looks just like chromed pot metal.
Thumper! Ever hear the Billy Joel song, "We didn't start the fire" LOL.

Man, you are stoking up the fire of progress here with your weight drop.
75 Lbs is good at any corner of the car.
