I just got in from dinner and was looking at your post in disbelief. As I was reading these post Cheatin Keaton called so I read him your post . He wanted to know if You were drinking? I told him you had not touched anything in more than 10yrs. He could not believe you thought a 55 to 57 chevy weighed that much . He said when he was running D Modified Production ,with the 55 -210 2dr. sedan that the shipping weight was 3115lbs. As we were talking I looked it up .My book said 3125lbs. He had to weigh 3745 to make weight for DM/P. He added a 40 lb. flywheel, a 90lb. bellhousing, a tank of fuel ,and still had to add a bunch of weight to make the class.It amazes me that when several people here have the books with the proff in front of them, thats not good enough for some people. They want to hear what they want to hear.The only way a 57 Chevy convertible weighed 4400 lbs.was with 5 people in the trunk trying to sneak into the Drive-In. If You believe otherwise, You need to see somebody.
