most dumps also have scales in and out. a quick way just to say how much does it weigh? Then just weigh yourself and subtract. quick and easy.

when I weighted mine at the co-op I pull onto the scales and they gave me a total. Which is within 20 Lbs. Then I backed up until I had just the front tires on the scales, they wrote down the weight and then I pulled forward till the rear tires were on the scales. Maybe not the best way but it gave me a rough ideal of my front / rear ratio. 48/52%
May a note on how much gas you have in the tank. I got out of the car each time. I did have 50 lbs of tools and stuff in the trunk.

Hopefully the front wheel weight plus the rear wheel weight equaled the total car weight.  |

Bulldog, if you are coming to the TCC Spring Meet, I have a set of corner scales in my shop. I'm 30 minutes north of the Meet.

Well if you're gonna put her on corner scales, you might as well set the corner weights. |

Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

I got to get mine on the scales, the steering is sure a lot lighter since I went with the LS-3 and T-56!
