Reducing the Beak?

And, the front bumper on my 74 was 62# with all the crash baloney. The rear was 82#, with said crash baloney.
The 73's, of course, only had the crash bumper baloney on the front.
(The crash bumpers were rated at 5 mph for the front, and 3 mph for the back, if I remember correctly. Any crash above those speeds, and the crash repair cost skyrocketed. Sigh, my hereos in government...)

I used fiberglass (hood, fenders and bumpers), so I don't know how the weight of 70-72 stuff compares.

At the old method of 100# = .1 second e.t., I probably picked up a solid tenth. Plus, most of the weight is off the front.

I built it with the fiberglass, so I don't have before and after e.t.'s.

I've taken this thread off track with weight mention, back to the op's question...
My ‘74 must have been an early one, still has the normal ‘73 front bumper, no shocks. But that rear bumper has to weigh 100lbs with all the dirt and rocks caught between the chrome cover and the reinforcement!
