How much does your legend weigh?

[RickyBobby]

Thanks Steve,

See what I have to put up with Mike.  I mean I am trying to loose 15 lbs and he keeps trying to feed me, But like I said Mike if I put on weight I always have that 15lbs ballaast in my car that I can just pull out.  oh I have a better idea, I could loose 15lbs and put another 15lb weight in the back left corner of the car.

My legend is a 37 chevy sedan with a ford front end , and weighs 1111 lbs.  No lead, that's just the car.

Now that you have that trailer finished and I have a nice new painted garage, thanks to my wife and you and your wife bring it over and we can give it a full setup and see what it weighs

I have a '37 Chevey Sedan and it weighs 1150 with no lead full fuel and oil.  I really dont know what to do to get the weight down, I put in an aluminum steering wheel.  Do they make light weight wheels, mine are bassets and feel heavy?

[MegaMang]

I remember that there is a minimum weight for wheels, so you don't want to muck around too much with that.

1150 minus the fuel should be around 1130, so that puts you inline with the other 37 chevy's.

A legends tire & wheel must weigh a minimum of  "36.0 lbs without additional steel, lead, or wheel weights."

I once saw a tech inspector make a competitor remove his wheel weights to weigh the tire/wheel combo. After the removal of those weights the tire did not pass tech...

The dealer then realized that tech inspector was hurting his car count as he was holding specific people to the written word of the book, but letting other slide. It might have been different if the guy he DQ'ed for the tire had dominated the race/season, but it was his first top 5 finish. The tires were a couple of years old and worn out, thus making them too light...

2 bar 1937 ford sedan   1167 lbs with 20 lbs of lead in the rear, and 1/2 tank of fuel, otherwise full of fluid.

[MegaMang]

Looks like your car is also inline with other 37's.  Let me know if you ever get a weight on your car with the fuel empty and the lead off.

The new coupe is in and it is 1111 full of fuel.

[MegaMang]

Doesn't everyone just want to hate him?  That would make the car somewhere around 1070 lbs without fuel doesn't it?

I'm going to sneak over and repaint your car with lead based paint...  20 coats of it.

Has anyone weighted a new body and an older body (the thicker one)I heard you can lose some weight that way.

[tch38]

BTW I have both a newer and older body but no way to weigh it

[thunder938]

I know a guy that has an old body on a coupe and the thing is heavier than my sedan.  The fenders are about 3 times as thick as mine.  I am sure that all the body work is very heavy..
