K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

Thanks for those! I have a info on a Duster that was weighed similarly. I’m away from my computer for a bit not sure I can find it. I’ll post it here again if I do.

Tom weighed his purple Valiant. Last time I talked with him we discussed the weight of my Valiant in comparison. I was thinking I would do a fiberglass hood and bumpers. He advised against removing the steel rear bumper and just lightening up the nose. He did not have as much chassis stiffening as I am going to have but our Valiants should be very comparable. His numbers are somewhere in his old thread.
