The Superbird Wing Was Not "Idiotically-Ineffective" or "Dumb"

Charlie C,

The added weight of {+123 lbs.} on the rear-end of the Superbird.

* '2' Vertical Stabilizers {ie; Stanchions or Tail-Fins}
* Air-Foil Wing
* '2' Support-Braces {ie; Triangular Z-Plates}
* '2' Under-Deck Support Plates
* '2' Trunk Floor mounted shoe-anchors
* Scissor Jack {Additional 'Jack' for front-end}
* Bolts and Nuts
* '2' Stop-Blocks for Trunk Hinge
* Additional side bracing in 'C-Pillar'

Note; The Vertical Supports and Air-Foil Wing were made from Die-Cast Aluminum.

You forgot to include the extra weight of the paint and the ''Road Runner Superbird'' decals that go with the wing as well as paint on the extra parts.
Don't forget the weight of the big ''Plymouth'' decals on the quarter panels.
Then there's the gaskets that seal the wing to the top of the quarter panel.
No mention of the tool needed to use the screw jack or the additional weight of the rear window plug installation with bondo and the trim pieces either.
However, the holes drilled to mount the wing and the supports to the trunk floor would remove a few ounces.
By my estimation, this adds up to about a pound that you're off.
Sorry about that, but you need to be more specific. You left yourself wide open........
Now i'm at a B+ to an A-, which is well above average. :D
