Car Weight

Reading all of this, I thought I'd post what I recorded for weights, as I built mine. All weighed on a beam-type scale, like doctors had back in the dark ages.

Remember, I started with a 74 Dart Sport.

-Hood 61
-Hood hinges, latch, etc. 10
-Doors 74's- 84
I used 72's- 73 (No crash beam)
(Driver's door w/ mirror and glass, complete.)
-Bumpers, including brackets - Front 62 Rear 82 (Crash bumper bs.)
-Fenders (inc. headlight bucket) 22
-Wilwood front discs were 39 lighter than 10" drums
- I scraped about 20 pounds of undercoating off of it when I had more time than money.

The glass stuff. I didn't weigh. The hood is a light weight "race" lift off. The fenders are pretty skimpy too.
The bumper brackets are now aluminum Lingenfelter. (FABO member)


A couple other related items; it has a 9" Ford., mounted on original slant 6 leaves w/ clamps.
It has no wipers, heater or radio. (radio delete car)
It has subframe connectors. No roll bar. I really don't want to get into that seat belt-every-two-years baloney. I don't go to the track much. Bad enough my 10 year old, perfect, only worn a few times helmet is no good. :mad:
I could save a lot with a 904 trans and aluminum heads. Neither are in the budget!! It is what it is because I used running gear from a totaled pro street D150.
