Don't waste your time on the brake pedal arm I did mine and only saved 6oz. I know every bit counts but it was a lot of work for little gained.

Hemi-itis...put a tube axle in that thing...move it forward a foot and oil pan issues are a non issue...
No more K frame...Torsion bars..upper and lower control arms...tight fitting headers...
Save a few lbs and make the car think you moved the engine back 6"...
Lee's not that busy...he can help ya...

Not busy enough to at least post this hilarious photo of Chrysler's QC for their race car breed. I guess the front bumper got bumped on its way down the line. LOL.

I'm still waiting for Jenny Craigs personal one on one class.I pre paid the visit,just waiting on confirmation

If not this weekend, this coming week for sure.

My friend fabricated some exhaust riser caps for his new Gen 2 Hemi out of 7075-T aluminum and shaved off almost a 1/8 pound on the engine.

On the move again,car is now snowed into the shop so we can get some work done!

Uhm, I never thought of removing the fenders. That's even lighter than aluminum, glass, or even carbon fiber.
Doug

Perhaps an apron can be fabricated out of aluminum starting at the leading edge of the radiator support and swoops and swells up to the front edge of the doors. Talk about aero-nomics. LOL.

Hemi-itis, you around this weekend?

Yes Lee,I'm around somewhere,,,,,,

Doug,makes fabbing the "J" bars easyer and saves the fenders installing the engine.Todd at Marsh Performance told me my pistons are in!!

My junk will be back together soon

Now to get my "K" to look like Dougs,,,,just not as pretty

Gotta get a scale.Hope that chunk on the ground is over 5 lbs.Will try to weigh the mid plate after picaso is done trimmin,

Next is the steering box relocation & the mid-plate.

3-4 Lbs at most.
Correct?

Al, there must be 100 lbs of braided steel line in your car. SK has the black woven stuff, might want to look into that. Weighs nothing, even over really long runs. Safe to use on all kinds of stuff like trans cooler lines, fuel lines...

I concur.

That has been on the bucket list.Just not that close to the top.When I do it,all the fittings will be changed to black at well.I'm also interested in those quick connectors,,,,,
-12 fron the cell to pump,,-10 from pump to Regulator,,4 -8's to each bowl.And that's just the fuel system.


It's just money

Real world weight loss program and it`s cost....

You drive around with a BLOWN HEMI. When did money become a factor?

Is that Blown Hemi blowing all your money Itis? LOL.

All kiddin' aside, you will be surprised on how much those braided lines add up to. RMCHGR is right, the Pro-lite and XRP stuff is featherweight and strong and quite honestly, better looking then the bright stuff.

You, just like me and most others will probably take small steps in the weight loss and eventually be freed up. Those lines will be a good start and a refreshening/rerouting will make it all more clean. I still need to address the electrical Spaghetti farm underneath my dash. Just not enough hours in a day.
Come to think of it, I actually have some footage of the #8 or #10 XRP laying around that has your name on it if you'd like. Just get the fittings needed.

You are going to box in that K again are you?
There's a fair amount of weight in the little ledge cat walk that runs along the whole K's edges that could be trimmed and welded flush/shut. Does good for the aerodynamics as well. Every little counts.

Must box it back in.The bare block will be going back in soon to mock up the headers to the raised ports of the aluminum heads and get the measurements for a fab aluminum pan.My last builder FORGOT to reinstall the crank scraper that Jimi Vignogna made for me.I still need to find out if I can get the scraper and screen built into the pan.Ant recs on who to have build the pan??

FMJ,if your done with your lines,I will buy your leftovers
