Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.

Mark, mine was 59% front weight with a cast block, aluminum head BBC, and stock front suspension converted to rack and pinion steering. Dropped to 54% after replacement of front suspension with chromoly tubular replacement arms, cross member, etc. Then should be less with rear lowered 2 1/2 ", and adding 2 full nitrous bottles in front of the tailgate. It still has all steel except for the hood, all glass except rear window, carpet, 2 seats, factory steering column. At this time, I do not have a bed floor in it, but am considering a 3 piece aluminum floor, and have wood hydrographics applied. I like the sericeability of the rear suspension, when there is no bed floor. I plan to make it removable with dzus fasteners. Hope this helps with any ideas to lose weight. The front suspension was the single largest weight loss, as it weighed 3410 before with driver. Paul
