Agreed, some of us could benefit from some personal weight loss and then it would be fun times at the track.
Serious guys, if your weight was moderate to good, you'd be in better spirits and able body when racing.
Weight affects the huff and puff of any car, so why wouldn't it be the same for the best most important tool that we own, our bodies.

Hey, hey, hey! Go easy on the featherweight bondo application on those doors. LOL.
I did bring 'em in to make 'em heavier than the steel ones. LOL.

Funny aside, "The Palm Reader" aka Slick Ric is one of the most compassionate and easy going body men I know. He's also the best within these parts so far. He is more at his own pressure to keep weight down on these doors than even I.
In the end and like all great body men, he shaves/sands everything off and nothing but a hair thin coat is left if any.

We have been weighing the door every time it gets a fresh skim coat and every time it gets sanded off.

Good on you. Everyone should eat right. Always amazes me what people manage to shove down their gullets, just no thought at all. Balance is the key. It can be hard to do sometimes, especially at the track or on the road where all they got is burgers and soda. Sometimes you have to plan ahead a little.

Seats - in my car, I used seats from an '80s Jeep Scrambler/Wrangler. I posted them here while back. They are very similar to A100 seats and look like they belong in a muscle car. Same kind of plain upholstery, fixed back and very light. My seats with S/S seat brackets weigh 22 lbs. each. which were slightly less than the A100s. Pretty comfortable actually and a little better support than a low back bucket.

Check with Hemi-itis, I hear he's leasing weight off the front of his car at $5.00 per pound.
LOL.

Shheeeeee... at the WPC show in Detroit last week, I fasted hardcore just on the reason that everything behind the counter was counter health wise. I mean, Hot Dogs made out of lard and bread from cardboard. Popcorn made from butter and cornstarch, Soda, Soda, and Soda. Pizza with enough oil running out of the generic fake cheese that you can even replace the oil in your car with it. Might even have some zinc in it too. LOL.
I'd rather starve then to eat that garbage that has most of the country in stitches from open heart surgery and obesity.
It is truly sad on how many fast food and generic food companies have brainwashed most people by simply taking over space and points of entrapment (Freeway rest stops) to make people eat their agenda.

While I made this part in five minutes while waiting on some paint to dry I am advising myself against making three extras for some cats on here.
WHY?
It probably will take quite a NY minute to neatly extract the old piece off its pressed welded nut post in order to glue and bolt this one in for say....... an 8 ounce savings.
I don't think some or all of us here with early B's will go through such adventure with the exception of a certain ..........character. LOL.

I don't drink soda or eat fast food unless it's El polo loco or Del taco where it's fresh and healthy plus 4-5 workouts per week at 1:00 minimum and cardio. Not gonna bag on heavy people not my style BUT, most can turn their life around but have too many excuses and are plain lazy..........Just watch my 600 lb life if you need motivation........... luck

Unless your car is a light color, you'll need a grease crayon or opaque marker. A good rats tail file, flat file and some good cutting wheels. Sparks will fly.

Since I get the boot every time I race, I will just compare my last 1.33 6.15 @ 109 lifting and see how it pans out. First, street testing w/a foam plug in the trunk for my cell sump then if it still gets blown in the trunk, I will relieve even more but I think I nailed it. Today I will make my own scoop/pan combo out of my carb tray/pan then test that also before letting er rip............. beer Ft. valance will also get a pan full width and to the k member to clean up the aero there while still having plenty of grill area air which I will slowly block off and compare.............Easy to throw $$$ at stuff but I love creating/making my own one-of if possible............Shooting for a 1.31 60, a 6.09 @ 111+ 1/8 then whatever it takes(N/A)to get a 5.99-9.5?............. luck

Thumper, maybe you should go -pro it and see where ever you may find a suitable safe haven to view the effects of the wind.
