Lighten up a 64 B body any ideas - 10/09/13 01:34 AM

I have a 64 Plymouth Savoy with fiberglass fenders, hood bumpers & deck lid. I'm planning on having Bondo Bob lighten up my K frame for me but Has anyone use aftermarket up & lower control arms? I pickup a set of Alum. strut rods in Norwalk look to lighten up the car some more, running my car in NSS

Thanks Brian

Yea that looks light to me! Haha

We did the whole lightened k-frame, aluminum strut, moly shaft and drag link... Not really worth the weight savings but the all heim-ends is nice..

gut the rear window regulators, maybe the front also if you can get away with straps to operate the windows

Yeah DVW will be all over it like White on rice. Now I'm in. Go check Thumperdarts "Real world weight loss and cost thread. It should point out some pointers.
I'm about to add some new flicks myself.

Best of luck.
