K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

Tom weighed his purple Valiant. Last time I talked with him we discussed the weight of my Valiant in comparison. I was thinking I would do a fiberglass hood and bumpers. He advised against removing the steel rear bumper and just lightening up the nose. He did not have as much chassis stiffening as I am going to have but our Valiants should be very comparable. His numbers are somewhere in his old thread.

Seems like this pre 70 A-bodies are light in back. My 68 Barracuda, coupe, 8 3/4, weighs only 1371 in rear without spare tire and battery in front.

FYI: the huge Super Stock battery and hold down assy is easy an 50 lbs on the rear those Hemi Dart and Barracuda's.
