Speaking of ways to lighten your car, I have found the perfect recipe. Go find an Indiana or other rust belt car with leaves pilled all around it, buy it and drag it home, check sub-frames and floor the more rust you find here the better... the pounds will just fall off. Also when you jack it up to set it on jack-stands if it "Crushes" the frame-rails and pushes them flat you have a winner....
Yeah I just bought a 72 Dart to part that is literally that rusty, I considering keeping the main tub to chassis one day and I'm pretty sure it is too rusty to even do that. So it will donate its parts to save the lives of other Darts.

Hell I had to buy a new pump for external oiling anyway so that is the way that I went. A few pounds here a few pounds there add up.
Dam you guys are bad for my habit

No Scale! What kind of weight watcher are you? LOL.
In fact, from now on, anyone not having a scale at their disposal is banned from this thread. LOL. I bought a 0 to 86 pound Accuteck brand Digital Postal Scale on ebay for $19.95, shipping included. Runs on batteries or AC plug in adapter. Batteries were even included. Mine is black, but other colors are available if you really give a ..... It's powered by three AAA batteries, so it's easy to carry over to where you need it instead of having to drag heavy things to it. This new one puts the old one I bought at the post office to shame, and it weighs heavier things than my old postal scales do. Win-win.
July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

Bad habit???? I go to therapy every day after reading all of this. LOL
I was in conversation last night with some GS Buick cats and it got HEAVY. I think those guys have the heaviest Wedge engines in the market. It's an awesome sickness we all share and on the subject of light = might, let's not forget about a bit of "Aero" stuff that's both light AND functional like ft. chin spoilers like the one I scored off of a Dodge truck.............It did help a bit as Shiloh discovered as well..........
