Nate Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 LOL I ya IDK scale was off the "I" state owned place would think there scales are right on the money but u could be right who knows. It is what it is! I have a 5 gallon fuel cell was not likly on E as my MPG are not good. "is it dual purpose?" Daily driver lol...But I do drive it to work witch is not to far from home. I would drive it more only thing is tranz pan is only 2" from the ground so I have to know the road. Car was stripped down to the shell every thing wiring dash windows then only reacplaced the stuff I need to make her go and stop Lexan windows all but passenger and driver side windows. Fiberglass trunk and hood aluminum dash and door panels. I have not Heat, Air, Fans Radio, and or any thing power. (It's a race car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 my 72 wieghs 3860,no driver,1/4 tank of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevroletR Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 3,691 lbs with full tank of gas, no driver. I went to a recycling center and scrapped some heavy metal! Then I came back and weighed my toolbag and spare tire in the trunk and myself of course! And if you want to know it's a factory A/C car with no condensor, lines or compressor. Small block, aluminum intake, headers, cast iron heads. Bucket seats with console...non SS, steel Ralley wheels...anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisQ Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 WOW! Mine's stripped out about the same. About the same amount of cage but mine's tubed. I have never weighed mine yet but I would do back flips if mine was at anything under 3500 lbs. I would LOVE 2700 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Harris Q? Do you have tranz break? Just asking cuz I have my ALT to my frame like you but if I used my Tranz Botton I twist the frame to much and pops the belt off. Have you run your car? I really need to stiffen my frame more! Your Cage looks BAD [you said a naughty!]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisQ Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No trans brake and no I haven't run it yet. I thought about what your talking about and I hope I don't have a problem with it. With the cage, the frame is really stiff but who knows once I launch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chico,70'chev Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanx Carl.I'm really impressed with our members cars.

Reaper Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My monte weighs 3500 pounds without me in it and about 1/2 tank of gas... and I have a big block with iron heads.... Few glass parts... with a small block you should beable to get down to about 3200.... but without making it a full out drag car without a roll cage I dont see how you could go much lower... I think the scale Nate was on is a little off... but who knows..... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I think the scale Nate was on is a little off... but who knows..... Tom Well it is what it is….HATERS!but It was at a weight station off of the interstate a state owned station so I would think those would have to be calibrated correctly legally. My car was gutted 100% stock front and rear bumpers stock fenders fiberglass trunk, hood and 1/8” Lexon aside from the driver and passenger doors. I have no dash no power steering no heat air fan’s radio carpet no motors rear window tracks ect.one racing seat, rewired the hole car with only what I needed. Car is bare bones all the inner fenders have been cut in the rear and front have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
