Suspect wheel in a certain class action suit. I must say, this is really stealth if indeed it is of a light alloy. Those guys have free open reign as far as what they can invent under the midnight oil. Love it. Not certain that the Chevelle has aluminum wheels, but it may have. I know for a fact that a gold Camaro had aluminum ralley wheels, but that was maybe 6 or 7 years ago. The lips were about twice as thick at the edge and easy to see, also visible where the open holes were. Dead giveaway.

Bringing this back up, been over a month since anyone posted in this thread. Any weight loss program updates? Any performance improvements for your efforts? Inquiring minds want to know.

Well it looks like a long time coming is my friend Haze's new edition to his roster. This beautiful 62' Maxie looker with a nice piece in the nest is sounding uncivil. Hopefully we get to wring it a few times before the Winter time sets in. On the weight side of things, this thing, based on my other friend, Special K's real 62' Maxie, should be tipping the scale arms more towards the 3100 Lbs wet and on the curb. A great platform to start with as far as a lightfoot.
I'm of course posting this as a fill in for my long lost and dormant 65' in the garage. Work has kept me grounded and my tires are developing flat spots. Hoping to get out in mind shaft air and let her rip. I smell a rivalry on the horizon. 62,Maxie huh ? ... A 62 Belvedere is where I started my biz .... Made a hood(WITH the emblem) , both bumpers, dash, inside headlite rings, lower grill support and the lower fender panel. Butttt ... All that is gone now ... and there is a member here that knows WHERE it all is !!

Well guys, let it be said and let it be read now that it is in print. The bad boy sits at the curb at 2989 lbs.
Since when MA last talked to me a few months back, I've gone in for a NY minute and both deleted and added a few things to make it functional again; ie Window regulators, Vent windows in the new doors, door handles, etc. So I will go weigh it again this week and see for more or less the final number and post it up.
Now if I could only get it to be at the 2700 Lbs benchmark just like the 65' AFX'rs so that when I sit in it, it goes down track at under 3000 Lbs. That would be sweet cookies and cream. I'm realistic though and figure that another miracle 50 or 60 Lbs will be the end game if that, unless of course, if I go the aluminum block route.

Light is might and boost is amazing.Take a few ounces and add a few pounds..........of BOOST!I still have the rear regulators and full OEM glass. You still need to add a few bars,window net & licence Bit of a Haze but that 62 might be nipping at your bumper...........

Keep it going for both you and the car, especially being that it is all from the doors forward. I assume this is an old school Demon. They have never made the Demon aside from 1971 and 1972. Everything else labeled as a “Demon” is a Challenger. Yes it is my 1972 Demon.

I would like to see the 5 mouseketeers at the same track on the same day! It will happen at some point, hopefully sooner than later. Been a while since I've touched the Duster but still keeping up with the winter weight loss program by getting a haircut. True story.
