noice, pretty much a ballanced and symetric car!

your car is still full weight right

Where you able to fine tune the results? I know I have always wanted a set of those scales but alas....I cant afford it

[Blaze86Vic]

Well, they aren't mine, just barowed. Can't tune them without coi -overs or adding wedge and what not.

My car is essentially full weight.

[interceptor1985]

hmm...would moving some parts around a bit help at all?

[DuceAnAHalf]

is your battery in the engine bay? if so you could move 40#s from the left front to the right rear

[mrltd]

his batt is in the trunk... says in the post...

You could adjust the wieght with spring spacers....That's pretty good for a near stock car.

I assume those weights are pretty good? It'd be cool of several members in the same area could chip in on a set of scales.

I just go up the road to the lumber yard to weigh a car.

My '79 Continental Town Car weighed 4950lbs empty...

[Blaze86Vic]

Total weight tells you nothing about weight distribution.

The set of scales I used would cost about $2500 so it would take quite a few contributors.
