Well... just bought a new project... and i broke the #1 rule ov weight-reduction: (buy the right car) and sold my bare-bones 70 Challenger for an optioned-out 74 Rallye Challenger. My 70 weighed 3000lbs even. A 70 A66 4-speed (for comparison) specs out at 3350ish, maybe a tad more. My 74 (4-speed) specs out at 3500lbs. So looks like i'm 150lbs behind the ball... so let the hack begin. I cant see a LOT in the 74 that cant be easily made into 70-spec (though those doors are gonna be a [censored])... so i'm not terribly worried. I'd wager that optioned as mine is, i'm looking at 3550 stock weight.

Daily driver goal (by July) is 3250lbs. 3200 if i can trade my rallye hood for some kind ov FG one. 250lbs in two months with no visual clues? Child's play...


Have a quick question? Will removing the door beams compromise the integrity/structure ov the door any? Not talking impact here... just normal (gentle) usage. Dont want these suckers to sag or twist or do anything weird if i remove those beams.
