I've got a 100 lb. steel bar that I can mount in the trunk with two 1/2" bolts that go though the bar and the rear frame rails. Slows my et by .11

I needed my weight in the front and founded 3 lead bars(looks like weight on a x-cise machine)from a foundry.I tig welded 2 small 3/8" plates to bolt them down too and I use grade 8 bolts to bolt them down. They are 25 lbs each. You could go to Wal-Mart or just about any Sporting goods store and buy bar bell weights,they range from about 2-50 lbs each.

50# of lead in the rear bumper (50" behind the rear axle!), and a 40# plate bolted to the floor in the spare tire well. big block "a" body, so it needs it.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

Farmall wheel weights work good in the spare tire well of a Duster, 150lbs each.
