Yeah, and everybody knows there isn't an A-Body on the planet as Sexy as an E-Body. Thats just how it is.

My 73 Cuda only weighed 2130, of course the whole body was fiberglass.LOL
An E-body is only 4-5 inches wider and maybe a little shorter than an A-body, can't see 300 lbs difference both cars being equal with the same weight removed( fenders,doors,trunk). Now full car as built, could be.

"590 crapbox Daytona" doesn't have the same ring to it and you would have to call it that to differentiate from the REAL Daytonas.

Drum brake spindles are lighter but would need a different caliper adapter.

Yeah but I'm getting really tired of starring at the back end of those little mustangs

Thanks, that is what I have now, I will touch them up with a tad of grinder love

Grind on them, radius the corners, then shot peen them to harden the surface.
Magnaflux for cracks first.

Your glass bumpers chromed?

Bumpers are still the original ones, mounted to aluminium tubes, I guess its time for a change

My Duster could handle all that power. Car was over built for what I use it for. ...And its for sale. Weighs 2700ish without me. Still has steel fenders and doors with roll up windows.

Thanks but I just think I will try to shave a few pounds this winter. I'm also cutting the engine down to a 528, adding aluminum rods, raising the compression, uping it from 30 to 45 pounds of boost, hoping to stuff it into the lower half of the 4's next season. Time will tell

In the picture, the bolt attachment points are entirely in shear and can have much less material around them, grind off the excess.
The arch going to the ball joint is more dangerous.

Kool, I won't get too carried away

Do you run plastic headlights?

I never even heard of them

That metal is also unsprung weight (same as wheel and rotor), extra benefit to lightness, helps tire grip.

Have you looked at using spindles from an old A body that had 9" drum brakes?

Carbon fiber ceramic rotors= 10 lbs per rotor less
