Just finished weighing car and check front to rear bias with and without driver. I was surprised what the car weighed.
Any guesses of the weight with no driver all fluids and front rear bias. Steel roof, quarters, rockers, pillars dash etc ,aluminum wedge lenco drive 3 speed moly tube chassis 25.1E 110 inch wheel base.

I'm surprised its that lite with a BB and that wheel base
but good for you.... my car(itself) is 2200# but
I have all metal but a carbon hood... I could have cut
out about 30# in tubing but that would have cost more
for a whole stick of tubing for a few feet needed
EDIT
I see now its a alum block... your right there on the weight

Also looking at the engine location are you sure the
cables were right for the front and back scales..
the engine looks back from the spindles and I would
think the rear would be heavier... mine is 49/51 without
me and 48/52 with me in it

With me in the car bias moves weight to the rear to a 53 : 47 front rear split engine set back is not that aggressive, in fact I was worried before I scaled the car that there was not going to be enough set back. Scales are wireless so pretty diffcult to mess them up.
