Can we have a weight bias thread?

1967 Valiant 2DR. All stock metal body panels and glass, with all seats and a roll bar, fiberglass front bumper, full tank of gas, heavy 18/19 inch wheels, all iron small block, aluminum 4spd trans... 3250lb. I was hoping for lighter....

This is for a 1956 Ford F100. It is about to undergo a major transformation. You will understand if you look at the corner weights, I think the original builder may have built a twisted frame, I'll find out when I get it fixtured up.



56/44 front/rear

I plan to build a new frame and move both axles forward 1.5"

The front axle was already moved forward about 2-3" with re-profiled fender openings. I also plan to shift the engine down and back relative to where it is now. The original builder put his own subframe right in the way preventing the engine from going anywhere near as low or far back as it could (should).

Yet it handles like a go-cart!
