Here she is--weighed in & ready!

[s2per]

After months of Weight Watchers (and the car's been on a serious diet, too), she's back on the road. And Noah's recent post got me wondering how much she really weighs. As of today, 2,480# with a quarter tank of Florida pump premium.

I had hoped for lighter total, since I've weighed nearly every part I've removed. But the rollbar added some weight and I did have the front carpets in for the street! And yeah, I didn't weigh her before the transformation, so I really shouldn't complain.

Taken off--all rear interior parts and insulation, total a/c system (67#), heat exchanger "heat" parts (simple '74 headers now), console, cruise control, various non-essentials

Exchanged for lighter parts--Corbeau seats, front & rear bumpers, front oil cooler, battery, antenna, etc.

What doesn't show is of course the AMAZING change in vehicle dynamics when you lose 300#. On the street or track, this car always makes me smile.

Great looking P-car. How did you attach the bumpers? Mine came in at 2325 with almost the same mods plus rear seat delete, RS door panels, and F/G hood.

I fabricated the bumper brackets at home. I used scrap aluminum from old street signs (legally acquired!) and just cut and bent until I got the right fit.

I've also deleted my rear seats, taken off the map pockets from the stock door panels, but I still have steel for all non-bumper exterior body panels.

And I wish I had that big honkin' 3.6. "Hello, Santa...?"
