Thanks,Ron and Eric! I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess that between the Wilwood discs on the front and chassis upgrade plus the replacement of the old steel tubs to aluminum,the car may have lost about a 100 pounds. Every little bit helps! Eric...You keep posting those budget tips! I am gonna need them! I like 440Jims idea about used oil in the lawnmowers! Don't think I would use it in the Deere 455 but it might find its way into the pile of junk Ford 4000 tractor!!
