Burt Munroe built his Indian with second hand files, hacksaws, a home made furnace & an old lathe that most machinists would run a mile from, no CNC machines in those days
and it failed tech and safety 12 different ways.

No, I guess not. Last time was over at Maple groves Mopar Action event. Englishtown's scale is a joke from what I've experienced there. I'd be better off with four Bathroom scales. LOL. When it gets warmer, you are invited to the Area 51 garage with those scales. The truck weight stop is located just off the side of the Whitestone Expressway on the Linden place exit in Flushing. A&R Lobosco is the name. They seem to be legit and precise.
Okay Tom, you've made your guess, ThumperDart, you've made yours, lets see who else may come either close or on the nail on the weight of my car with a full tank of gas and WITHOUT me in it. The winner gets a cool surprise in the mail. This is fun.

okay, as soon as I get the little box of candy from Detroit, you'll get a little peek into this widening madness. Some things are just difficult to make even with a CNC machine, so patience will be a virtue. What I really want to achieve but would have to save quite a few pennies would be to replace a couple of more items left on the car with Factory lightweight stuff. Thinking with a good guesstimate at hand, this could shave off the last bulk on the car in the neighborhood of 50-75 Lbs.
