Ideas for weight reduction on 65 GTO
 

I'd like to take off 50-100lbs from our 65 GTO. I'm looking into light weight upper and lower a-arms. Any other ideas?

Treadmill twenty minutes, health rider twenty more :D

and cut back on carbs as well��

Wheels and any other items (calipers, rotors, etc.) that are unsprung weight are most beneficial and provide more bang for yer buck.

Pretty sure my aftermarket 17x8” wheels are about 22lbs each.

Aluminum block and cut down the k member

Aluminum rear drums.

Another vote for aluminum block plus a fiberglass hood.

having taken the hood off and on on my 65 it is heavy! Glass hood.
Bumpers are heavy,not as heavy as my 64 impala bumpers though! As well as pot metal front grills. I think the repop grills are plastic. Glass bumpers and with "wraps" now can be as shiny as the real thing.
I know my "regular" Global west tubular A arms aren't any lighter than the factory ones.
Wheels can make a big difference as well as tires.

F'ing thing gas three of them.... Great suggestion

Antigravity 970ca battery, 7lbs
Electric rad fans
Aluminum brake drums
Tubular control arms
Aluminum wheels
Aluminum heads

fiberglass doors,mine weigh 9lbs

And eventhough not a lot of weight that freaking pointy second hood latch I always bust my head on!

Replace the pot metal front grills with the plastic ones

And get some light aluminum wheels

Antigravity lithium battery will get you 40-60 lbs savings depending on your current set-up
