That looks like a Bob's Profab K-frame job. He cuts out a lot of weight.

| Post subject: | RR Wheel Tub Install and Lightening 11/10/13 |
Well Here are some more shots of the Wheel Tub progress: At Last check in this post: http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic ... &start=825 I state that Ruster's Calculated weight was: 2158.7# After Taking cutting some stuff off for the RR Wheel Tub Install I deleted 22.9# from the car, But I added 3.3# for the Sheet Alminum Wheel Tub on the Right Side. So now Ruster Should be at 2139.1# - Inching Ever closer to 2100# Without Driver. Here are some Pics: Some More Trimming Before Installing the Wheel Tub:   This kit Gets Rid of the Rear Dogleg :-0     Here is the Summit racing Wheel tub kit - Quite a Bit of room in here, Lots of trimming to fit my application.     Here is all of the Steel Removed to make room for the tubs... -22.9#   And here is 3.3# of aluminum Tub to replace it.   Greg |

Man you really need to get a old slingshot dragster frame and call it good. I can even come over and help you work on it.

I finished up the Right Rear Tub, and i decided to take a bit more weight off of the Right Side.. The front passenger door is a perfect place to begin. I was able to get 2# out of the door. Calculated weight is: 2139.1# - 2 # 2137.1# and I also Had a bit of fun modifying the Exterior Door Handle... Did not loose any measurable amount of weight there  Pics: Stuff Not needed on the passenger door:  2 Pounds Lost:  Passenger Door handle Before:   Passenger doorhandle After:   Now onto the Driver's Side Wheel Tub.

My thoughts are the same as Brian, Just get a old F.E.D. and call it a day. |

You are getting into Seymour territory there. You just need to trade (human) bodies with him and you'll be there...  Lou |

Greg, I had asked about the 750 you are running before and you mentioned it was fairly close to stock. I have the Edelbrock 750 which I believe is the same as the AFB Competition. Stock jetting is at 113/107. Think this is to much?? Or should I play around with metering rods?? The engine should be close (hopefully) to 12:1 compression. I keep hearing it will be too much, but I have seen quite a few /6's with 750 carbs. I'm sure something else may work better but I'm not wealthy enough to play with all the options out there. Using what's laying  Good job on the weight reduction! If I ever get the tube chassis car done, I am really not sure it will weigh much less than where you are now. I'm starting to question whether it's even worth it. I think I should just go for the stock bodied car build. It is less expensive to do what you are doing and a lot less headache. Thanks for the inspirational thread. |
