And here you have it, front mug coming together and all is well in STOCK-alike land. Everything disappears and yet functions just like normal.

Just arrived in the mail. By the weight of it, my handler thought that the box was empty. LOL.
Titanium carburetor stud and bolt. The stud will receive an aluminum fine tread lock nut.

No, someones out to lunch like me. LOL.
The fever has caught on like wild fire.

I'm even helping a certain individual with a F.A.S.T project to lighten the load. Just consulting for now since there is not enough time to get grease under the fingernails.

Oh yeah, so a little tiny discovery the other day when changing to the light weight headlamp buckets. My original retaining rings were smaller in diameter and lighter by a few grams or so. Ha.
Big rings were good for 1.80 ounces each, the smaller 1.20 ounces each. Whoo-hoo. LOL.
In all seriousness, at this juncture in my "Every ounce counts" campaign, all the work, hunting and buying for a fractional 1-1/2 lb savings that the headlamps gives me is Kosher in my book.

Man, by the way this madness is going I think I have plastic screws loose in my own head. LOL.

Beat you to it, I've applied aluminum screws to mount the buckets and the trim rings themselves.
With screws this small and quantity, there is hardly any difference between plastic and alloy.

On another front, or rather rear for that matter, a fellow I know has found an NOS pair of GM aluminum brake drums. Pricey, but could be made to work with a Chrysler rear end.
I once and only once, saw a pair of either custom fabricated or very very rare factory aluminum rear brake drums for a Dana. It was at a Mopar show/swap meet in CT.
The GM drums applied to the Chrysler rear could be pricey unless starting from scratch when building a new rear end and housing.

saw a super great 1967' WO lightweight post sedan tonight at an island cruise in. Supposedly the third owner and one of only 23 built. A great candidate for a lightweight grudge/brawler. Maybe Hemi-itis will post pics.

So far tonight with the addition of the starters titanium stud/nut and bolt, 108 ounces (a tad under 7 Lbs) and counting towards (100 Lbs) or 1600 ounces. This Sh#t is sick.

Car was super clean and minimal standards all around, just the way I love 'em.
Good lightweight platform to start from with minimal tire clearance. Now that's a car where all your weight loss antics only apply to the doors and forward in order to keep weight in the rear to hook the minimum tires.

I really like the 66-67 post cars, especially with a hemi. The 67 WO-RO hood scoop looks really good on them.

KK's car is awsome

This one had a WO hood with scoop and scoop opening underneath which was added years later since it came with a flat hood from the Factory.

Scoop was metal as I expected it.

Supposedly it was ordered through Helms Bros. Dodge in Bayside and then after a few years of hard runnin' on the street and three broken Hemis later, it was sold to a local auto body shop and raced for a couple of more years at the track then sold to this gentleman in 1970 at 14 years of age.
He's since added a super clean A-990 interior comforts which looks like the factory had done it. Now a Dick Landy detuned elephant built in 98' by the Legend himself resides in the engine nest.

I once had a guy almost sell me a supposedly Hemi 4 speed Black version complete with a supposedly dealer ordered WO hood. I lost contact with the owner that just simply faded away and I never got the chance again. Oh well, I found my current gem and its all for the better.

Hemi-itis! you have any more pics of this brute?

I was so bummed that my car wasn't present with the works going on and my schedule and all.
An original 62' Savoy Max Wedge stick, a crazed man 63' Blown Hemi and then this covert spartan red box of Chocolates comes rolling in for the closure.

Your car will be out when it's ready. I have sat out many a season after hurtin' the HEMI gathering $$$$$$$$$$ and parts to put humpty dumty back together again

Sometimes added weight is a good thing...

Put new street shoes on yesterday...
