umm,that is mike's 68'  

You are correct sir. Mike did an excellent job on the car and we plan to keep it that way. It is first class all the way and many Kudos go to Mike and Lakeville Auto Body. I had been looking for a tube chassis car for almost two years and when I heard about this one being available I decided to persue it. I am very picking about what I like and I have never bought a T/K car before like this. Anyone who has seen my cars knows I am pretty particular about their appearance and performance. For me to buy it says tons about the quality of the car and the components used. Yes I plan to enjoy it...Must have missed my post on the other board about getting the car.....

[moparrr07]

I think our weight of our car is around the weight of your car.
We have a fiberglass cowl hood, a 383 with aluminum intake and rad, no headliner, 727, 8 3/4 rear, manual brakes and steering, the driver (383Kidd weighs 140lbs) and the owner and part driver dad weighs, lets just say twice as much as me. Compared to your weight if a subtract my weight from your car, it is 3150, plus other little stuff that may add up to 150lbs, we may be weighing only 2900lbs.

i wouldnt count on that

my dads old race car set up-

duster, 10.30s bracket car, 440 all steel, 727, 8 3/4, no interior, full tubs, stock frame rail, fiberglass doors/front end (one piece), no heavy glass, all street stuff like wipers removed

3000 lbs on the nose

[signet]

the truck weigh scales on the hiways work fine.

put the front wheels on,take note then get all wheels on for your total and % front and rear.

  Hello Guys..... Just a note to add to your Formulas..My 67 Dart GTS (also the real thing 383 4 speed) weighs in at 3385 pounds on certified scales.    Why the difference between mine and your 68 GTS i don't know.  Car was weighed without driver and 1/2 tank of gas, with all equiptment as delivered.

[jess13]

One thing is I beleive the 4 speed setup adds weight over a Auto setup.   There may even be quite a bit of diff in that area depending on bellhousing & flywheel used.  Plus you have Z bar,clutch  peddle assy and some other small things.
