Anyone look into the weight difference between body fillers? My vinyl top dart had bondo-type filler in the C-pillar seam, where my painted roof car had lead...

By the looks of that grille and the mention of impact beams, it looks to be a later model A-body Dart. 73' or 74' vintage? Those impact beams can be a doozy in weight. That's a good amount of weight to cut off the very front. Good luck and be light to go with might.

That's pretty decent weight to cross with the pilot for the ride. I don't know how deep you've read into this madness since its 20+ pages now, but try and keep your focus from the door rear jams forward. By how that thing is pullin' 'em though, I'd say you don't need a diet. LOL.

Come again? Are those figures with the cranks in place from what it seems to read?
Seriously, As how Aluminum blocks and their casting procedures have evolved in this day and age, I would have considered one for my build if it were available way back. 60-80 Lbs right off the front edge is candy to the ears and nothing to snap about.
