I'm thinking for both front and rear with all suspect hardware in the ballpark of 125-150 Lbs total.

Lost some more weight today.The new driveshaft did not fit through the hoop,so the hardware came out,the DS hoop was cut to fit and welded back on.It feels like a 1.5 lbs!

Hardware

Factoring in the good solid weld beads introduced, (weld can weigh a good amount sometimes) I would say you shaved about 2.5 lbs at best. If it was indeed 5 Lbs, that is darn good relatively at the front portion of the car.

When I welded in my loop 20 years back or so, IIRC, It was from S&F race cars that I had ordered a chrome-moly tube loop and it was welded to both frame connectors and the floor. My propeller was rather close to the loop as well, but there were no fasteners because it was a tube design. Never did install a rear loop though.

I know, it's crazy at this point, but we all knew that the ounce count section of weight loss is the most intriguing.
Here's the spindle nuts made out of 6AL4V Titanium.
The castle like lock sleeve covers that accommodate the cotter pins slip on smoothly and adjust just like the originals.

Original nut weighs in at 0.85 grams and the Ti guy weighs in at 0.30 grams.

Here's the door hinge to body and to door bolts that weigh in at 1003 grams for all 24 pieces that make up a two door sedan attachment hardware. I'll weigh in on the original types once I remove them from the car. After this, I'm going to the scales for some numbers on this whole madness.

Love this thread, real curious what it will weigh!
went to the track a few weeks back with my 64 sport fury.
i hit the track scales and came up at 3950, without me!

You, I and the rest of us will be/are curious. Though I'm afraid that after posting the numbers it may get bland around here. LOL.
Even though, there is so much more that I can do, there is a bare minimum that I can not surpass and end up in full race car territory. I really like the street car side of desire.

I do hope some others that are in secret or in the open about their tricks will weigh in on here. I know that there are many others, I can feel it almost like a movement.

3950 Lbs is not surprising for a full 64' B-body and some were a little longer to add to the fat, but beautiful in design. The Plymouths were of course a tad lighter then their counterpart Dodges.

My friends 64' Dodge Polara 500 hardtop weighed in at around 3990-4000 Lbs at the curb.

Don't try this at home or any where else for that matter. LOL.

You guys need bigger hole saws. Lol

Holy scrap, a hole in one.
Perhaps those holes should have been drilled somewhere in the rear door jam wall of the door to relieve the high pressure built up at speed. He may not have wheel wells in place to direct air underneath.

You've all heard of WEIGHT BREAKS in classes such as Pro/Stock, well though this has nothing to do with weight loss, but never the less, taking a BREAK from the WEIGHT class.
What a simple pop up tent can double as here at Area in the off season from shows and races.
Looks like a exorcism LOL

Simple plastic drop wrap with an intake filter on one end......

..........and an exhaust on the other.

Is that the area 51 spray booth?

and this is the result.
The Palm Readers semi lightweight hood for his 68' Bee's wax project. Uncommon color. Keep an eye out for this pup next season both on the streets of NYC and an occasional strip tease.

Itis, believe it or not, yes. But for small parts and such.
Bigger spray booth not needed once we sweep it up clean, wipe the ceilings and water down the floor.
Though not a color top coat, this Dart was painted by the Palm reader to this primer right there under the lights and all.
My car is getting a new layer this Winter. Any color as long as its Black. But only one coat to keep the weight down. LOL.

Before and after

I am shocked that this topic had fallen all the way back to page 7!
Recently I had a gremlin in the brake system so while I was working on it I decided to do a couple of small weight loss items that were on my list. The first one was to cut the studs back for the master cylinder adapter on the firewall. That got me a savings of .5 ounce. The next item was to replace the rear body to rear end hose. I had a few aftermarket hoses in my misc brake parts box. I installed one that had a shorter fitting and saved another .5 ounce. These two items got me to 25LBS total so far this year!
I am attaching a picture of my GTX at the NHRA DIVISION 3 ET BRACKET FINALS. I think the 25LBS off the front is starting to show??
If the rest of the brake parts show we are going to test some new transmission parts this Friday. My weight loss total will go up if all works out.

MJ.
Page 7?
I think people needed a break from this madness. LOL.

You have achieved more weight loss this year then most or all of us have with small parts as well. Your car is carrying the wheels a little higher in the atmosphere every time you come back on.

I think the colder months will bring out some real neat tricks from some cats on here.
I will set my car on the scales very soon to see where it's at and to also set in motion some new tricks. I know I've got another 100 Lbs or so that can be shaven off, just finding the time will be the real challenge.
