Here's 3024 lbs worth of many years of hard and tedious work and counting.
Keep in mind of the 8 or so gallons in the tank at weigh in. Basically almost a half tank.
At a quarter tank, it gifted me with 2990 lbs or so a while back.
With me in the seat at 185 Lbs, roughly 3200 Lbs at the line is not too bad for a FULL METAL JACKETED CAR.
I'm really aiming for lower numbers which may come from further ounce count pushes and perhaps some rare factory parts in the works.
As of now, without any adjustments on the Torsions, the car is at 48.8 front to 50.1 rear ballast. Not too bad. I think aluminum four way drums and a A/FX stainless K member would trim the car down to an anorexic 2965 lbs without me in it. I'm gonna keep pushing the envelope responsibly. Stay tuned.
