Anyone have a close to idea the weight of a Regal totally stripped out interior. Car with drive train?
 
Stripped out like we've done on dirt cars, with a full cage, we've gotten them down to 2720 before, but this means very little left except the body and a full race only interior.

Is that with all glass out except windshield and the doors cut up to shed weight? What about bumpers?

The bumpers are shells with steel tubing in them, the cage runs all the way forward and backwards, doors are shelled. You can't run glass on dirt cars.;)
 
OK thanks I'm building a Lemons car and rear & 1/4 glass is optional. I ask because there is a rule for cars over 3000 lbs I needed to take in account or not.
Oh and I guess you were using a 350 chevy w/ 350 trans setup?
 
The rules are chevy V8 and depending on the track that it's run at, auto mandatory or only 1 track that still lets us run sticks. Do yourself a favor and once it's stripped out, fill the insides with something you can burn. Light it on fire and get all the body putty out of it.;) We usually do it with the local FD so they can practice a car fire.:D
 
Not too much body putty still sticking in there, I have the Flintstones rusty floor, the rest of the car is solid; the car just had a leaking heater box which the previous owner let the carpet soak with water every rain storm. It actually had green moss growing inside.
 
Believe me, there's more than you think there is.;) We made a point at one time of trying to buy northern cars but they still had a bunch of putty in them.:rolleyes:
 
I was hoping you were going to dance on my hood and show me the Turbo-6 tattoo on ur taint :rolleyes:
 
Never seen a regal used as a lemons car. Cool deal. We have a Honda wagovan. It has articulated flamingos on the roof. When you turn, the flamingos "lean into it".
