Don't forget gold weighs more than aluminum. That would give more traction right where you need it.

6 lbs lighter per rear tire and 4 lbs lighter per front tire. Rotating weight is good weight to lose. Now that it "LOOKS" more like a old school hot rod, I gotta giv dat there ET slip a shav'n! LOL

Is the 76 plate just for show or is it legal?

It's legal. AV/EV plates can run historic year correct plates, just got to carry the current plate in car. Plate is stamped '76, same year as car

Is the plate a repop or from another car or what? I found a guy with 3 differant single plates from 76. Can I use one of them on my dart?

They are originals used by somebody in '76. Mine are a matching set. You can use any state you want so long as it's the historic correct date for your car. I used Illinois because I like the 1776 to 1976 dates in the middle of the plate. It's hard to find a matching set in good shape. BUT, your car HAS TO HAVE AV or EV.

I'm thinking that you mean AE not EV.
EV is electric vehicle. lol
 
I run a original 1948 WV tag on my willys.
All I had to do is take the tag to the DMV, they check to make sure it is not registered to any vehicle.
Pay the $25 for 10 year sticker, and it is registered.
Every 10 years I have to pay the $25 registration fee, cheap tags for a seldom used vehicle, everyday use tags are $60 a year here.
 
Speaking of license fees Illinois voted to double a bunch of the fees and to charge $1,000 yearly registration for an electric vehicle.
I don't see how the illegal aliens will be able to afford this.

We did have three days with no rain course it rained last night and some of today. I did manage to get the yard mowed again and only had to pull the mower at one time from getting it stuck.
 
Score one for Doug's Headers...…
my starter had a terminal come loose from the starter yesterday. Today I pulled the starter out without issue. I just turned the steering wheel all the way to the right to get the steering linkage out of the way and pulled the starter like nobody's business. It was a magnum starter

I bought a life time warranty starter from NAPA for a '95 Dakota. I just removed the terminal extender and installed. I tell ya, the Dougs and Dakota starter was in and out so easy! I had it in place in 5 seconds and the two bolt in and tight about 3 minutes later. "On the road again...…… "
