Chrisnben. Cal tracs will save you a cool 30 Lbs at most which is good, but after some track tuning/adjustments, it should high tail out of the hole and put you comfortably in the mid/high.40's.
I've improved my 60's with the right combo SS springs and some very good adjustable shocks. Cal-tracs are just not in my future plans. I'm too stuck up and hard liner for that factory look.LOL.
Chrysler SS springs weigh in the low 40 Lbs for each side, but are in the rear as semi-sprung weight. I'm not sure what exact weight for the Cal's.
My friend who is currently building a beautiful stock looking street brawler using Dave Dudek Hemi power is also trying to trim fat off the front end and motor itself to basically try to bring the Elephant in the room down to Wedge weight.
Lee, Calvert says the pair of mono's weighs 47# shipping weight, so you might be close on the 30# + savings.
I was also going to ask you how your Braille battery is holding up out back? I have mine up front on a fabbed tray. It's new and only a few starts so far, but it seems to be ok. The 20# savings is a blessing! Originally, I did buy a 3# lithium, but I returned it thinking it wouldn't cut the mustard.
I'll be stuck in the heated garage soon like yourself with the winter approaching. So, fabbing and trimming are on the plate.
Where can a guy buy 3.5" aluminum tubing? Thinking of the collector extensions.
What did your windshield save again? Thinking it should be at least 20#. I might even do the 2 doors in Lexan, keeping the quarters and rear lite for rear ballast.
Lastly, do you have to rob the bank to get the Detroit fender treatment? I have family there, so a trip could be in order! Lighter on the way home too
