RMCHGR.

Lots of dead real estate back there now with a rear seat that no one will be able to plant their rears,LOL. Fill that Motha with some lead plates intertwined with the inner springs and watch that Duster mop up the competition with the front wheels up.

Itis, If you turn those cans upside down while pressing on the nozzles to let all the propellant out, the paint will be lighter in weight and not weigh down the block.....................LOL.

What a little hooky a couple of months back could muster up. For those not in the know, on a 64'-65' post sedan door, these are both the main bottom window track retainer brackets. Guess which one is steel?

i like the way you round corners, when possible, on your projects. takes a little more time, but looks more professional.

Thank you. I round them off for a number of reasons and yes, one is for a more uniform and pro look and most importantly, to keep sharp edges out of my car all together. I try and round off edges where ever possible even if it is a steel part that can not be changed to a lighter alloy. Less cuts and scrapes when working underneath or around and less dangerous lines.

I just bought a nice aluminum shaft for my Challenger. I was surprised at how much weight i DIDN'T lose. All that money for 5lbs? Even if it does spin? Is it worth it?

It's more for the crucial spin factor then weight reduction. More RPM and less parasitic loss.
My metal matrix shaft is lightweight indeed, but the aluminum shafts have to be larger in size thus having more weight compared to mine, but lighter than steel.
Wish there were titanium slip yokes available in the market for Chrysler. None that I have seen and probably not worth too much in weight other than strength which can be achieved via a billet unit.
By the way, as far as costs, my friends 3-1/2" Aluminum shaft cost $544 with a Sonnax billet slip yoke, Spicer 1350 U-joints including shipping and all and that's not too much more than a good Chrome-moly shaft.

Don't have a steel one to compare. That is the total weight of the one out of my car. Had to replace the ring and pinion so since it was out, it got weighed.
