Re: Fly Weights
Aluminum body and a frame lighter than tissue paper, the only thing lighter than the car will be your wallet!
One of those cars would make a Drag pak or Mustang look cheap! Billy, I used to have one of those Gremlin 304's back around '74, in 40 years of working on AMC'S , I only saw 2 others. It definatly has possibilities.

Re: Fly Weights
1979 Cutlass 260/135 = U/SA 2870 w/driver
1977 Monza 305/180= O/SA 2870 w/driver ( I find one for under $500 and I'm all in!)

Now since IHRA allows us to use fiberglass instead of the lightweight parts maybe they would allow a fiberglass cobra? Hmmmm

Re: Fly Weights
I always wondered why I never saw anyone try a Feather Duster. Is that model locked into a slant six?

Re: Fly Weights
Feather Dusters and Dart Lites were made only in 1976 and only with 6 cyl. engines. But the lighter hood, trunk and bumpers will interchange with some earlier years.

Re: Fly Weights
Aluminum frame and body! Back in the day, SCCA racers actually had to ADD weight to get them to spec! JIm
