That car started as a challenge to go 12.99 for $1299.
there is a lot more holes in it than that video shows.


It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

Does anyone currently have a good source for chemical milling? I heard Dave Kalasa isn't doing it anymore.

too bad Lee went on to other places.
i miss this thread and his constant quest to shed ounces.
i wonder if he ever got his under dash wiring sorted out, and how much weight was saved there ?

Switched out my old 1050 Dominator, for a Thumper 1150, and thought it new carb felt lighter, and sure enough, 2.5lbs lighter then my old carb.

I also upgraded from a steel driveshaft, to an aluminum, and the aluminum shaft is 9lbs lighter.

Saved 4 lbs. today by switching to Lingenfelter rear bumper brackets. I switched the fronts a couple of years ago. They are a quality product if anyone is interested.

I scraped 6lbs of rubber out of the rear wheel wells when installing the new wheels.
