Yes the upper core support
I am going to use an alum C-channel or tube
then alum sides with maybe a couple of angles
It will let me move the top of the radiator forward
slightly as it was tilted back due to the bottom needing
to move forward to clear the steering box

That's some serious weight savings, Bob.

Man the old bumper was some serious weight!!

Nice savings.

Car was 3710 a few years back according to Ride Techs scales
at the Good guys event.... way too heavy
I have taken a lot of weight out of the back of the car
Now it is time to get it off the front... although I am thinking
of getting rid of the Steves SS tank as it weighs a ton

Will also trim back the inner fenders and maybe remove them
altogether... will see how things go

My buddies and I are planning on buying a set of scales
so we can see where weight is going

All this talk of the weight of things today is making me wonder about how the Falcon will pork up with all the tubing that makes up its frame now. At least it's all going in the middle (which is a good thing, I think) . . .

I suppose cars are different from people in this way . . .

I think that this is the only time weight is good in the middle...

Did some more cutting and prep work today

So the front turn signals are going to be the new
brake ducts.... Ordered up a couple of new lights
with turn signals built in them.. and they are plastic
so of course lighter than the originals

Started fab work on new Radiator supports last night

Bob

[Panteracer]

Cleaned up my light supports
and mounted the new lights
I had to open up the back to get them
To fit. Also lightened up the bumper brackets
