I might be able to make it Joe if I am welcome. I need to come over there anyway and pick up the Jackstands that Aaron borrowed and left at your house when you were doing the transmission thing.

It was a great time Joe, many thanks! After cornerbalancing the Suburban I was amazed with the improved handling

Hi Joe, THANKS! for having me and the missus over. It's cool to associate some faces to the names/club names. One day I'll have to host a gathering up here in my neck of the woods.

how bout that scale?

Howard came.. and he has a surprise...

Someone else will prolly post the picture of Ralphs V-8, Joe, Ralph, and Lou . Good meeting you Ralph

Nice orange 914 getting weighed in...

The peanut gallery...

Someone requested a picture of MAtt on another post, yes he exists. Here is Matt ...

Linda, Joe, as always, great party. Lightest car, heaviest driver. Did you write down everyone's specs? I'll scan mine if I can figure out how to use that gadget.

Hey, did anyone remember to zero the scales??

Jim's beautiful car, Joe's beautiful carpentry. Neat set up.

Look at Joe's professional work. My car came out well. 1965# with full tank. Little heavier on right, but settles in with fat ass driver.

Howie...you don't have a fat

Sorry I couldn't make it...kids sports

Lisa

Sorry i missed it. had to pickup Ma and Pa from the airport and shuttle them around today.

Darn! Work ran late and HB is soooo far away that I would've been getting there just as it was winding down. Looks like alot of nice cars were there....

The 914 club totally rocks! You guys must feel lucky to have such a tight group to hang with, huh?

Thanks Joe . I sure wish I hadn't had to leave so early . I really shouda stayed, meet in Riverside was a real bust. Some of my friends showed up but the GTG just wasn't planned very well. Not like yours .That'll teach me . Anywho.....thanks again, even if my car was the heaviest and probably the most outta balance. Hopefully I will be able to put the info to good use............................Dad................PS....Howard, I will bring my cane next time .

Were factory -6 200#'s more or conversion cars post 72 cars 200#'s more?

The factory sixes didn't come with side crash bars in the doors so that is about 100#'s off per car. I think the doors weigh 50#'s more each with the side crash protection.

Is that correct?

Just wondering?

Do the '75 weigh more because of all the DOT requirements ?

No, Jim. It's all the wax and Mother's on your car
And, I put the cat in the car...

Howard; you and Fluffy are getting hexed !!!!

QUOTE (jim_hoyland @ Nov 20 2005, 02:41 PM)

They weigh more because of the boat-anchors on the front and rear, extra electrical wiring, and the impact-frames inside the doors. So, yes

Joe,

thanks for the list awesome!

------------------------------------

Olav,

no way the doors are 50lbs difference early versus late.
the bar inside of them is a formed sheet of steel that weighs about 9lbs.
I'm guessing early versus late doors are probably 30lbs for the pair difference.

brant

and a heavier window mechanism brant

I'''m with Brant. The F/G bumpers make more differance than the doors. Howards car and Marks cars both have F/G bumpers and Marks car still is 4 lug.
All of the guy's striped thier cars (spare tire jack and whatever). Beauty has a 45# jack and her spare tire in her trunk. I'll post Carerror's numbers after she has been striped.
:PERMAGRIN: Joe

Me too. My car has steel in the doors, but f/g hood and bumpers. I didn't weigh the bumpers, but they can't be more than 10# each. MFG claims weight on hood w/o paint is 8#.

Tank was full, so subtract another 65# or so to get to 'track' config and car comes in under 1900# with full street equip. Now if I could just drop 50# and find another 20hp

Howard: You don't need another 20 HP.

There's a thread where the early and late doors were weighed and the difference compared.

It's there, whatever the answer.

I'll do a search unless someone beats me to it.

Door weight thread


Ok, it's 60lbs difference early vs late doors for the pair.

Early doors: 25lbs. each

Late doors: 60lbs. each



That's still a lot of weight!
